[QUOTE="EvilPheemy, post: 3552160, member: 3700"] It's a fine line to walk, for a published campaign world. In order to be a "living" line (that is, a line of books and supplements that are regularly published), the setting needs to evolve, or else those who purchased it in the beginning will lose interest in purchasing what comes out later. However, if the setting evolves too much, no one can jump on board after a given point. I'd love to see Greyhawk evolve, to see Oerth treated in the same manner of support that the FR has. But, that isn't happening in the forseeable future. Greyhawk, in some respects, has too much "baggage". It's a campaign over 30 years old and spread over tens of thousands of games. Short of "starting over" (which will alienate the faithful) there's not much that can be done which would appeal to a gamer who is just getting started in the game. Just think, Vecna was made a Deity almost 7 years ago now. From the Ashes is 15 years old now. Many teenage gamers were born *after* that supplement was published. I don't know how all of this works with Living Greyhawk, which is the only avenue where "new" Greyhawk product is coming from. [/QUOTE]
