[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 8652447, member: 6780330"] I think it would have something to offer in all of those formats. As a Battle System tie in Adventure...the Setting as presented by Gygax is actually a precarious series of political ticking time bombs (aka, plot hooks for DMs), thst were unfortunately blown up when TSR went mad for metaplot and released the Greyhawk Wars board game. An Adventure were everything goes completely sideways with Iuz (son of Tasha, by the dubs) making his grab for world domination with the players involved in both dungeon shenanigans mass warfare could be brilliant. An Eberron style book or Spelljammer slipcase would be, IMO, more or less the same thing in regards to content, but the slipcase might have more collectability (big poster map, etc, etc.). In terms of Monsters...part of what theybwoukd want to lean into is the gnarly, old school pulp stuff that Gygax was so fond of, that was in OD&D and 1E that hasn't made it over to 5E yet, so easily doable in the theme of "weird old fantasy." Tons of stuff in the MM, MM2, and Fiend Folio hasn't made it over, and most of it is weird. In terms of player content...well, recall that Greyhawk was the default Setting for all of 3.x, and all the options they released were contextualized in Greyhawk as par for the course. So anything, Race or Subclass, they want from 3.x could work. They would have plenty of options for flavorful Backgrounds in the vein of what they are testing now, as well. What I would say would work for a slipcase, for me: a Setting book that redoes the original Folio Setting material in depth, a weird gonzo monster book, and an Adventure that intros Castle Greyhawk.
