[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 708247, member: 151"] Just FYI, that's Viola! Don't look at me, it's not English. I'm a little confused what you're really asking for, here. Are you saying you want Greyhawk removed in favor of no setting at all (which is not likely to happen) or in favor of another setting you prefer more, such as Toril? Remember, some folks automatically associate D&D with Greyhawk, as all of the original modules from AD&D were set there. The Realms are a little different in emphasis than the default D&D setting, which may be why it wasn't selected. Greyhawk has always been designed to be not only generic, but individually DM-customizable. The Realms are just as customizable, of course, but has much more detail that needs to be ignored or changed. What would you put in it's place? D&D needs a basic setting, so that you don't need to buy anything but the core books to play the game. I grant you, there has been little, if no official support beyond the LGJ, but some might view that as a boon, not a burden. I bought the FRCS, but I don't want to be buying book after book of FR gazeeters. I love Greyhawk, because it meets my requirements for a good, generic setting. Toril is too high magic for my taste, and it's easier to ADD magic than to subtract, IMHO. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
