[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 7796558, member: 7015558"] Well I'm thinking it would mostly be setting fluff, new monsters, a fairly big adventure, and a sprinkling of rules. So it would be more of a cross between an adventure book, a setting book like Ravnica, and a monster book like Mordenkainen's. I'll say that if I had a choice, I'd put settings like Dark Sun, Planescape and Spelljammer before Greyhawk. But I also recognize that those settings require much more playtesting and innovative rulesets, compared to a Greyhawk book that would be more monsters, backgrounds and fluff. I'll also add that the reason I'd like to see Greyhawk getting a book is because I think the lack of content for that setting is the reason it's unpopular, not anything related to Greyhawk itself. After all Age of Worms is perhaps the most popular Adventure Path of all time (not adventure or module), and you can see Greyhawk's influence even in 5e's Forgotten Realms material with the Princes of the Apocalypse, Acererak in Tomb of Annihilation, and Vecna in both Critical Role and the upcoming Descent into Avernus. I think a new Greyhawk book that essentially compiles older Greyhawk material to be better edited with new art and material for 5e, would go a long way to improve its popularity. And if you're not changing it extensively, there's not much risk of hurting the grognards either (I said no Dragonborn!) [/QUOTE]
