[QUOTE="Emirikol, post: 3551171, member: 10638"] I've been a Gh fan for years and years, but have found it getting pretty dry after many campaigns. It's so static. So grey. So "balanced" and neutral. I know a lot of people got all worked up when FtA came out because there was an unbalancing, but I personally found that product to be completely refreshing. Anyways, I think it's time for a new FtA-type product..one that does away with Iuz and the Scarlet Brotherhood. Blashphemy? Not any more than FtA. The setting is doomed to continue in the shadows because of it's inability to grow. Iuz is holding GH back because of his boring stranglehold on the north and the fact that he's a demigod. Well, there's an endless and useless plotline...yawn. The Scarlet Brotherhood has come and gone too. They were cool way back when. Now their uniqueness is gone. Remember when they were mysterious monks and assassins? Well, the mystery is gone. They need to be replaced or retract. The death of the overking Ivid, was a start, but nobody really ever played in the GK anyways..and now with the PG-13 approach, it has surely become a little, well, "pink." I think the coolness of Greyhawk in the beginning was not that it was the only world available, but it was in the balance of many nations and many cultures that gave DM's lots of directions and bad guys. FtA, for it's temporary coolness has allowed the exact opposite to happen..which was fun for a while too. There are no more warlords in the north and south..just countries who's actual coolness are in question. Iuz needs to die like an evil god should. The Scarlet Brotherhood needs to have it's family tree cut down. ..or Greyhawk is doomed to mediocrity and lack of growth. Where would you go with Greyhawk..or should it continue in the circle of balance leftover from FtA? Jay Hafner [/QUOTE]
