[QUOTE="TwiceBorn2, post: 8650055, member: 7017725"] The Living Greyhawk Gazetteer remains one of my all-time favourite D&D setting books, second only perhaps to FFG's 3.5 version of Midnight. Yes, the art in the LGG left much to be desired, but I think the book struck the right balance between providing a lot of interesting lore (that increased the coherence/accessibility of the setting), without providing too much lore. I say that even though I prefer the feel of Sargents's From the Ashes era... I feel that I can easily do a pre- or post-war campaign with the LGG. Is that an imperative for unveiling new GH content in 2024? No. But I would be happy with an updated setting book that took its cue from the LGG in terms of content, while exploring new conflicts/directions. They can even keep it mostly edition/stat free, as they did with the LGG and, to a lesser extent, Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft (which did not stat up any of the Darklords, to the chagrin of some and delight of others). And even though I'm not a big fan of gonzo dungeons and mega dungeons, if WotC actually worked out an agreement with Gail Gygax to release a product based on Gary's (and Rob Kuntz's) original notes for Castle Greyhawk, I think that would be a worthy 50th anniversary 'gift' to the fans... so let's add that to the GH slipcase edition (or boxed set). That said, I'm not particularly optimistic that we'll see the definitive Castle Greyhawk as a 50th anniversary product. More likely, in my opinion, is an updated/revised D1-2/Q1 (with or without G1-3). It's worth noting that both Castle Greyhawk and the GDQ series can easily be ported into any setting. I mean, Drow (and giants) are evergreen, aren't they? ;) Might also explain some of the giant-oriented UAs we've been getting lately. But I'm probably just grasping at straws. [/QUOTE]
