I fell in love with Greyhawk from the moment I bought my 1st printing of the World of Greyhawk Folio at my local neighborhood game store (LNGS), well it was near my middle school not my house. It was my first introduction to heraldry which I have maintained a fascination with, the Darlene map was amazing, and I loved that "hookiness" of the setting. Plenty to spark the imagination visually and in text. I had nothing else, so I made it my own with the occasional (very occasional) additions by Gary Gygax, Rob Kuntz, Len Lakofka, and a couple of others I can't name off the top of my head in Dragon magazine. Most of the Dragon material found its way into the '83 box set which I also purchased.After Gary's ouster in '85 the first material out was of varying quality. Eventually TSR went after Greyhawk fan sites and the bad times began. I still pine for the days when the setting was not weighed down by officially published material and fan material that slowly filled in all the spaces of the setting.I am glad they are going back to the basics of 576 CY and letting a new generation discover and create in Greyhawk without having shovel loads of accumulated lore holding them down. I cannot wait to see the the Infinite Oerths (tm) that will be born from it.</blockquote>
