[QUOTE="Jer, post: 8647234, member: 19857"] They published the "last gasp" of setting material for Greyhawk for 2e and really wanted to make it work. It was a mixed bag of material - very much a product of the 90s. Then they tried to make Greyhawk the "default setting" for 3e - including making the Living Greyhawk gazetteer and the setting book you quote, but also trying to thread Greyhawk setting info into the PHB and the DMG. But by 1999 the "default setting" for D&D wasn't anything like Greyhawk anymore - it was much closer to the Realms even by that point. So pretty quickly all that was left of that "default setting" was the names of the gods and a few locations (Saltmarsh showed up again in the DMG 2 for example). If they do decide to do a 50th anniversary Greyhawk release it'll be interesting to watch the fireworks online. If I were Wizards I wouldn't want to go anywhere near it, except to maybe do a special reprint of the original Folio or boxed set the way they did the OD&D white box set back in the day. [/QUOTE]
