I also had other later mapping projects for Mystara and Dark Sun also hosted at my page.While I like the Greyhawk 83 box, and I got my introduction with it, I far prefer the From the Ashes era. That’s partly why I know for me my preference of the gray box FR era is not just because it was first exposure, like a baby animal imprinting on something. Or even the nostalgia because at this year even 3e FR is in a nostalgia rear window, <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😜" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61c.png" title="Winking face with tongue    :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:" data-shortname=":stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />.My affection for most of the old TSR worlds came from being very into worldbuilding. Wanting to know all the lore out there I could get and make sense of how things stitched together, how the cosmologies functioned, how political states interacted, the ancient histories that left an impact and left magic behind, how core D&D-isms were used differently, is there any metaplot that the future is moving towards fulfilling, what corner would I pin down my attention to develop a campaign.I’m also a sucker for being absorbed by someone else’s passion. So when someone tells me they like something else much more, I honestly want to hear their case!</blockquote>
