And the maps were huge. each country had a couple of paragraphs, a couple of lines about rulers, import/exports, etc.And that was it!! There were no supplements detailing the various regions and cities (except maybe the City of Greyhawk, but I don't remember if that was 1e or 2e). There were some Dragon articles by Gary Gygax (and maybe a few others). Other than that, it was all up to me to fill in the blanks. And I loved it! Yes, I got off to a very rocky start, but I was young and inexperienced a a DM. But I ran a Greyhawk campaign for years and it was uniquely mine. I had a couple of friend who played with me who spun off my game with games of their own and they were very different from mine. All of this without setting supplements. And like Keefe the Thief said, a revised or compendium versions would be fine. I remember when "From the Ashes" came out it fired me up again by shaking up the world. I know not everyone was happy with this revision, but I thought it was a logical update based on what was hinted at and written previously. But this led to the best campaign I have ever run. All this again without the supplements (which by this time had started to come out. I bought a few and said "Meh. This isn't what I want to happen." So I didn't buy any more and I don't think I was alone.) Wow. Being snowed in is making very longwinded (longfingered?).<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I have severe cabin fever.
