Are you excited about the upcoming 4-part Greyhawk map in Dungeon?

As much as I love maps, I'd be much more excited about double-sided poster-sized Dungeon Tiles-type stuff. Or a fold out map of a Greyhawk city (done in the same way that wonderful city map in Dungeon; as far as I know, the only well-done map of a Greyhawk city that exists.).
 

Yes, and no.

I'm collecting them, for certain - I'm committed to buying Dungeon anyway, because of the format change, so the point is moot. I LOVE the Greyhawk setting, I loved those poster-maps for Forgotten Realms in Dungeon a couple of years ago, and plus I love maps of all sorts anyway, so it's a given.

However, I'm not going to be running a Greyhawk game anytime in the near future - Heck, I can't see running one at LEAST until 2005, if not later. There are just so many things we are playing right now that we don't have time for all of them as it is. So, if it were a separate product, I'd have to look at the purchase negatively - but since it's coming in Dungeon anyway, I say BRING IT ON!

Incidentally, I think Erik and the Paizo staff have resigned themselves to the fact that they will NEVER please all the existing Greyhawk Fanbase - Hell, Erik would have to be the next Talleyrand to do it. It's just too fragmented, so the best thing to do is give all the fans those things which most of them can use. And I could DEFINITELY use a map newer than the one that came in the 1980 boxed set. :)

So, are you excited about the maps? If so, will they perk your interest enough to return to the Flanaess once again?
For the record, I am excited about any quality material for Greyhawk regardless of the source.

The Flanaess has languished for far too long without new material.
 


Personally, I'm thrilled.

Erik has done more to keep Greyhawk in the public eye in the last four years than anyone else at WotC, even amidst often unnecesarily rude criticism.

..., one to go up in my theoretical gaming room, once I buy a house and set it up.

I know that feeling. We *have* a dedicated game room, and I can't even get it finished so it can house all the stuff I've been saving up for it. :(

But I'm ready for these maps, Greyhawk rocks! *insert headbanging here*

edit: because I can!
