More appropriate analogies:"Cool, another cover spread of Planet of the Apes action figures in Toyfare."or"Last month Casper was on the cover of Wizard.  I sure hope they have Richie Rich on the next one!"or"I can't wait for the next issue of TV Guide.  I wonder if the Jay North interview for his role in Dennis the Menace is as good as last month's interview with Lassie's trainer."or"Did you check out the review on the SNES in Game Informer?  I wonder if I should get one.  I think I'll wait until next month's review of the Genesis."These are great nostalgia articles, but they do little to familiarize gamers with the current market.  I would rather see third party campaigns in Dungeon than Greyhawk because at least there is retail professional errata and general support for these products.  Finally, Greyhawk is NOT the default setting for 3.5 edition D&D.  We were told this, but in fact only certain Greyhawk elements are the defaults for the core rulebooks.  The history, culture and geographyc of Oerth are nowhere to be found.  In fact, is Greyhawk even mentioned in the revised core books?A fair compromise is to have generic adventures with detailed sidebars for proper campaign setting placement for Forgotten Realms and Eberron.  Please leave Greyhawk to the RPGA, and if it's that near and dear to the hearts of Dungeon's editors then spotlight or even publish a few RPGA modules.</blockquote>
