[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8072902, member: 6855114"] Yes we are vocals. But I don't want WoTC to be the publisher. Let them open GH to the DM Guild and let's see what the fans will make. Yes GH waned after 1985. It was hard for TSR to make GH be Forgotten (pun intended) as anything still related to GG would only bring sourness. Though I did like From the Ashes and the following products. The third edition ones were... well... were not made on par with what FR had been entitled too. It is almost as if the grudge against GG was still living in the corridors of WoTC. Without new products in the 4ed era, and none in 5ed, GH is doomed to die when the old grognards like me fade away. I maybe one of the rare grognards that would like new material to be in Greyhawk. Dragonborns are cool so are Tieflings. I did incorporated them in my campaign and I can tell you that it was really easy to do. The "Canon" thing is both good and bad. A setting must evolve if you want it to live and grow. WIth the treatment GH suffered, it is a miracle that it is still talked about today. If "Canon" means that things are set in stones, then it is not good news for those that love the setting. We have to evolve and adapt. Not everything should be thrown down the drain, but finding a right balance will be a bit harder that some here might think. Maybe a simple adaptation or just enhancing on the other part of the continent, the lands west of the deserts are worth exploring. I would simply adapt NPCs from From the Ashes (even 3ed might be good...) and start expanding GH into the western lands. [/QUOTE]
