Message: <blockquote data-quote="schneeland" data-source="post: 8078638" data-attributes="member: 6900337">After 20 pages, I don't have much to add here.Two short comments still:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">To me it seems that Greyhawk is not really sword&sorcery due to the presence of spell casters in the party (yes, they gray mouser is not only a thief, but also a bit of a sorcerer, but the nature of the spells he works seems very different to what D&D offers). Still, the settings seems to be a lot closer tonally to sword&sorcery than to tales of epic heroes and that's something that actually made me add it to my reading list (I have bought the PDF of the 1983 box and Living Greyhawk; sadly, only parts of the novels are available as ebooks).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I think the strongest pitch for the setting as a commercial product would be "the setting that started it all". Nostalgia is a strong driver for TTRPG purchases, so that would be quite fitting. In fact, I would probably buy a 5e product for that reason, given - and that's the tricky part - rules are tweaked to match the tone better than the default 5e rules. It wouldn't have to go the full route like Adventures in Middle Earth, but some pruning and adaption would be necessary to make me interested</li> </ol>Anyway, the main reason to post this is that I want to say thanks, [USER=7023840]@Snarf Zagyg[/USER], for starting this thread about Greyhawk - a setting that you are clearly very passionate about. I learnt a lot about Greyhawk from you and others in this thread.</blockquote>
