Message: <blockquote data-quote="Snarf Zagyg" data-source="post: 9389612" data-attributes="member: 7023840">Well, I tried to explain the difference <a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/forgotten-realms-greyhawk-and-canon-stare-decisis-in-d-d.704661/" target="_blank">here</a>, albeit with an analogy to stare decisis. Because of course I did.But one thing I have repeatedly noted is this-Now, the greatest strength (or weakness, depending on your view) of FR is that it isn't just a campaign setting. It has its own rich tapestry of lore through countless novels, video games, and other media (including the recent movie) that have added more story to the setting than other D&D settings.The thing about FR is that because of games and novels and Greenwood, there is just more. So people that really are into FR, are really into FR.GH doesn't have that problem. Not to mention that for some GH fans, most of the "more" doesn't matter. In addition, I think it honestly helps that it's been so long without GH that at this point, people are happy to have it back. And they're happy that WoTC is releasing it in a way that isn't prescriptive, so that they can have "official support" for a setting, but there isn't a whole lot of constraint in re-making it their own. It's a big difference. Talk to a GH fan the past ten years, and it's all, "Where's GH? What about the DM's Guild?"Talk to an FR fan, and it's all, "When are we getting the big campaign books with all the cool lore?"</blockquote>
