[QUOTE="Vaalingrade, post: 9507480, member: 82524"] I feel like I'm going crazy here. I'm ignoring that point because objectively, based on what other posters are saying, there are things unique to Greyhawk that other people just... seem to be trying to obfuscate to present it as boring and generic. I'm not claiming we don't need a Star Wars, I'm claiming Star Wars fans don't actively work to ignore all the cool stuff about Star Wars. Like until earlier this year, I spent twenty years convinced Greyhawk with this boring, generic nutrition cube of a setting the fans keep presenting it as until as if by a miracle, one actually managed to let the cat out of the bag about the Bright Desert and then it took [I]seven more months[/I] to learn something else unique. And LotR still also has unique things to offer. People who enjoy LotR don't try to convince other people it's boring and generic. It's mostly meant for nostalgia bait, let's be completely honest. They could have used an actual generic setting and been free to say and do whatever they wanted without old heads getting sad that they changed a word and said interesting species exist. [/QUOTE]
