[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 8237795, member: 5142"] I'm making a fashionably late entrance to this thread, but I thought that I'd give my 2 cents. I would echo the idea of tapping into the Witcher zeitgeist. (The GoT one has passed, not with a bang, but with a whimper.) But more than that, I would pitch Greyhawk as a kingdom-builder setting. I would pitch Gold as XP rules. Make the game about acquiring riches in dungeons, spending them on building your fortifications, defending your land from invaders, and building up your kingdom gradually. This is to say, pitch Greyhawk as D&D's bizarre mix of the Witcher, Stardew Valley, and Age of Empires, where your PCs are starting from scratch to build up your lands in a decadent world on the brink of collapse. Edit: That said, [USER=7023840]@Snarf Zagyg[/USER], you may want to check out Rob Schwalb's upcoming Tales of the Weird Wizard, which is meant to be a thinly-veiled homage to Greyhawk and Gygaxian fantasy, albeit with an updated version of Schwalb's Shadow of the Demon Lord system.
