Did you expect them to go buy every adventure and piece together the campaign? They “blew up” the world for the same reason they just blew up FR, to make it more approachable to new players. The players that will carry this game for the NEXT 40 years, not the ones keeping it stuck in the past. As best as I can tell no one ever made you change your campaign just because a new book came out. To the OP and the thread, WotC has publicly said that they are not sure what to do with Greyhawk. Mostly because if they release a setting it won’t mesh with any old timers champions, so they won’t buy the heretical book, and no one under 30 has really played in a fully supported GH world, so they will have no reason to buy it. So they have to come up with a shtick to sell it to their old and new consumers, because we are well past the time when WotC or TSR can release a vanity product. A good reboot might just do the trick, and might be the ONLY thing they would. And to be honest it would not surprise me one bit if this was ‘leaked’ to get some marketing feedback. I for one would love it if they rebooted Oerth and release books just as they are for FR. That campaign guild is everything I want it to be. It gives you the basics of the world/region/country and lets the DM build his/her own world. Just like my World of Greyhawk box set let me do.</blockquote>
