[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 9383389, member: 3867"] Ladies and gentlemen, Mick Jagger! :D My favorite settings are the ones with lore and story to them. Dragonlance is my favorite, followed by the Forgotten Realms. Really, I like a lot of settings. Greyhawk had always felt like it was lacking something to me. Story, cohesion. I think I missed the point. I mean, I had heard it could be a sandbox world, but I don't think it clicked with me. Plus, it felt like it was "Garweeze Wurld" (to borrow a phrase). I always felt like if I was to do anything with Greyhawk and I ever discussed it on an online forum, I would be told that I'm "doing it wrong" since it would be more up-to-date with 5e rules and have my own take on things. For some reason, I now feel like I can make Greyhawk my own. I mean, I always could, but something about the presentation feels like Gary Gygax himself is giving me permission and saying, "It's yours now." And maybe that's okay. --------------------------------- [B]Summary: [/B]Dragonhelm is in some weird headspace about Greyhawk for some reason, but feels like he can now make Greyhawk his own.
