As an example (and I realize many of these aren't gonna be OGL):1)  Mind Flayer cults, manipulating the masses of people, in a dark horror sort of feel.2)  Gnoll Pirates, sailing from village to village, killing all they find.3)  A dark artifact built by crazy gnomes.Really, stuff like that, so the game isn't just "Greek".  What I think would be cool would be to put a bunch of Greek Elements in the game (namely, the gods and cities), and leave it at that - and when astute players notice the Greek references, they play on it.  But other players who don't notice that it's a Greek World can play it as D&D - there's nothing stopping you from playing a Half-Orc fighter with a Greataxe.</blockquote>
