Both in "feel," and I would argue in "concept." The first is less important, but it often gets trotted out. So here it is:Greyhawk is swords & sorcery. Realms is high fantasy.Greyhawk is (almost) post-apocalyptic, with scattered civilizations holding out. FR isn't.Greyhawk is more neutral-focused (maintain balanced). FR is more about heroic good defeating evil.Greyhawk's best days are in the past; the Great Kingdom is in irreversible decline, and the Suel and Bakluns will never have the power of the Rain of Colorless Fire and Invoked Devastation. FR's has Elminster. I thought GoS did a good job of representing some of those themes in the introduction to Saltmarsh and its surrounding regions in the introductory chapter, and want to know your thoughts on specifically the tone the book set. The other complaints you've made abundantly clear.</blockquote>
