Good post, but I think you failed to answer this primary question;Here you start to touch on what I think is underlying the answer to your question;And you actually touch on one aspects;But, you failed to address at all what I think is the major cause of these knee jerk reactions and the volume of resistance and disagreement.People who love Greyhawk love their memories and attachments to a joyful time 30+ years ago. Sure, they may still be playing in that world, but it is one they traveled to decades ago, that were part of their youth, that in part shaped who they are.Let's try and think of it like this; If you have moved away from where you grew up, and have lived longer in a house or place other than you grew up in, you can go home again, but it is never the same home you left. You have changed, your memories are those of a youth, of a different you, they no longer reflect the reality of what was, only of what you remember.I have a fond attachment to Greyhawk, and especially the Barrier Peaks and the Dale, but I have not gone back there, because it would not be the same as I remember. Even if I used the sources I used/played then, it would be different than I remember. It would be an emotional pain to realize those memories are in same way false.For those who played in GH 3 decades ago, a new GH, will have an emotional disconnect from what is in our hearts and minds. Any thing new will not fit with what we believe and will challenge emotionally held beliefs about a time and place from our memories and fantasies. Their is such resistance to anything new because of the strong emotional attachment that is at the core of our being. To have it re-written is to allow someone to violate our self-identity.</blockquote>
