Message: <blockquote data-quote="Faolyn" data-source="post: 9357948" data-attributes="member: 6915329">Since you have a terrible habit of misinterpreting or misunderstanding what I write, I am pretty confident I didn't, and you just made something up.Such as here, where you misinterpret me giving examples of what could be in that chapter so that new worldbuilders would have ideas of what to think about when making their world, as things that must be done.The fact I mentioned elves doesn't mean that I am requiring or "demanding" elves be given any special treatment--or that we (or WotC, or new worldbuilders, or whomever) can't use elf lore from other editions, or anything else you're making up right now.And you're misinterpreting or misunderstanding me here again. The few words or sentences are what the book would suggest new worldbuilders write, so they don't feel they have to write reams of in-depth information on every aspect of their setting. Because certain other posters here have said that to them, worldbuilding means going into incredible amounts of depth regarding things that aren't actually important to the game, like detailing ten generations of the royal family. That's not important for either the game or for most players to use as background information. But writing a couple of sentences on where and how the various species live is something that a new worldbuilder can and should focus on.And you're misunderstanding me again. You must be doing this on purpose. Do you really not understand what I wrote? Or that those two different paragraphs referred to two different things?Nope! Another misunderstanding--or are you outright making stuff up now? What I have said is that it would be better for them to make a new world in this hypothetical chapter. "This would be better" =/= "not making this choice is a grave mistake."Mostly because I doubt that WotC is going to lean into the things that make Greyhawk different from any other standard fantasy world, like having a crashed spaceship. If they did, if they decided that not only were they going to emphasize the weirder or at least nonstandard aspects of the setting, but make them into the main focus of the setting--such as my thought (not demand, not requirement, just an idea) that they bring weird tech and radiation mutants and things like that into the world--then I would say that Greyhawk is a good choice. And so you don't misunderstand this, "is a good choice" is my personal opinion on the matter, not an objective measure of Greyhawk's worth, since I have no personal nostalgia for the setting and my favorite D&D settings have always been the non-standard ones. Since I at no point ever said that this chapter will fail if they pick Greyhawk, this is you either misinterpreting, misunderstanding, or lying about what I've said and done. Which is it?</blockquote>
