[QUOTE="The Glen, post: 8073740, member: 6800327"] It would require somebody who can better define the setting than how it has been largely described in 5e. The setting is on the brink of war. There's a lot of nations who are packed together and don't trust each other. The realms has several nations but you don't have the constant threat of conflict. Mystara's nations are packed right next to each other but you've got two giant empires in Thyatis and Alphatia locked in a cold war that isn't going hot anytime soon. It's a low magic setting in the fact that almost all the magic is going to be low level. A fireball is not a spell most people see cast, a meteor swarm spell is talked about only in legends. High level characters number in the dozens, you don't find them in every single town like a good chunk of the realms. The theme of Greyhawk is tension. Focus on that. War is looming. There's big bads just on the edge of civilization waiting to attack. Just ask the Duchy of Geoff. Drow are the unseen boogie men rather than a playable race. Ramp up the fear of the unknown. Play up the racial tensions that are a major factor in the setting. Sell Greyhawk on its theme. And get somebody that understands that to be the pitchman. [/QUOTE]
