The Scarlet Brotherhood was completely exposed, almost all of the decent chaotic neutral nations were wiped out, almost all of the rulers have changed from the original iteration, and the campaign setting has more or less taken it in stride.Robilar's betrayal of his best friend Mordenkainen _was_ out of character, and has never been adequately described. Rary's motives were given a minute's attention in a product farmed out to a random freelancer, and thus was born yet another pointless fault line in Greyhawk's fandom. There is no reason for past hackwork to intentionally piss off the people who created the campaign setting. It's bad business, for one.I tried to add a spin to the Robilar plot that allowed the setting to reclaim one of its most important characters in a way that purges lame backstory and moves the setting forward at the same time.To stick with your comics analogy, splitting Superman into red and blue electricity twins might be an interesting storyline for a while, but eventually you get him back into the costume that people are interested in and that stays true to the roots of the character.--Erik</blockquote>
