[QUOTE="Shardstone, post: 8651724, member: 6807784"] Take the Sea of Dust, do something with the spaceships in the hills other then saying they are there (because this has now been done so many times so as not to be interesting), and do literally anything with the Demon Empire that hasn't been done before (hard but not impossible), and Greyhawk may yet be interesting for new people in 2022. Other than the Sea of Dust/Rain of Colorless Fire though, almost everything mentioned in this thread has been done by so many settings other than Greyhawk now that Greyhawk trying to cash in on them again is not interesting. I can't throw my shoe without hitting a setting with a dark evil empire or some threat that's about to end the world RIGHT NOW. And it isn't too hard to go and find a setting with spaceships, least of all since the Barrier Peaks is not a setting agnostic adventure put into the Yawning Portal. The undead leaching off other people I've seen many times before, the evil demigod I've seen before (I mean, Elden Ring JUST came out). And this post isn't to say these things can't be done fresh and exciting for new audiences, but instead that they have to be because why would I spend money on this setting if I already have it??
