[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 7790804, member: 7635"] This is the worst possible hill to die on. Art evolves. It evolves past its original creator's vision and incorporates new ideas, good and bad. It's why bands cover other band's songs. It's why Spider-Man comics are published long after Stan Lee stoppedv writing them. It's how five Star Wars movies came out after Lucas sold it and Star Trek continued long after Roddenberry passed. Things grow and change, adapting new elements from different creators. To Whit, Greyhawk isn't just Gygax's 83 folio anymore. It's From the Ashes. It's The Adventure Begins. It's Living Greyhawk Gazetteer. It has sorcerers and half-dragons now. It has Greyspace and portals to Sigil. Vecna became a God. All of that is as much Greyhawk as Gygax's. You can choose to ignore it, but it doesn't go away or become any less legitimate, just like how all Star Wars movies past 1983 are still Star Wars movies. So Greyhawk will grow and adapt to the core of 5e like it grew to adapt to 3e and 2e before it. You are free to continue to view the setting as being set in stone 30+ years ago, but please understand most people do not share that opinion. And if Greyhawk can't adapt, then it should be consigned to the dustbin of history with the edition that spawned it. [/QUOTE]
