[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8088900, member: 6855114"] To you too the irony of my post was lost... I play in Greyhawk. I have a Dragonborn nation right south west of Nyrond. I have seen Tieflings in my games. Yes these were ostracized a lot but at least players knew what to expect as they were playing in Furyondy and Iuz made sure that Tieflings would ever been seen with suspicion. It took a while but Sir Kangash was finally accepted. Tabaxi could come from Hepmonaland for all I care. The "Kitchen Sink" redux bears no meaning for me. Again I will state that I am not a purist that stuck with the 1983 box set (Sacrilege! some would say). But Greyhawk has that medieval feel that the FR do not have. Society is surrounded by unknown and evil things, none the least are the Great Kingdom, The Bone March, Iuz empire, The Horned society (if you don't get into the FtA box set) or the Pomarj or the Scarlet Brotherhood and so many others. The general population is low enough that a lot of mega polis barely make it in the 100k mark and many don't (save the Great Kingdom at its peak). The diversity of cultures keeps the feel of medieval society even if they are quite different from Europe. But I want something done for Greyhawk for 5ed. An update that will give common ground to players and DMs alike. A basis on which to start fresh. Just like the FR had. Just like Eberron had. Just like any other setting should have. [/QUOTE]
