[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 7796024, member: 7015558"] It is pretty interesting to think what a true Greyhawk setting book would look like in 5e... Mike Mearls has pretty much said aloud that he would make the book as sandbox-y as possible (he spoke on it extensively as a guest on Dragon Talk). That discussion IMO pretty much makes any chance of a big "Greyhawk Reset" for 5e pretty much off the table. At the same time, based on what was released in Ghosts of Saltmarsh, the team is willing to make some tweaks to the setting to allow for the new 5e paradigm. Tieflings are now canon to that setting (and I'm using "canon" loosely, I know there's really no such thing for D&D). They even made art for a tiefling NPC from Iuz's Empire, though still stated that people are fearful and horrified of them. The book even mentions Dragonborn, though not as being present in Greyhawk but instead being something that people would react to with "fear and revulsion." The setting itself also isn't as "out of the box" as Dark Sun or Eberron and isn't going to provide a bunch of new classes and rules. I don't even know if I know a single race/subrace unique to Greyhawk (please correct me if there is one). I imagine a new setting book would actually be 25% new adventure, 25% tools on making adventures in Greyhawk, 10% new rules for players (mostly stuff like backgrounds), and 40% lore on the various locations/culture. But that's just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
