[QUOTE="Ezrael, post: 397100, member: 6262"] Well, I don't play FR (I did buy the most recent Campaign Setting, but I'm a whore, I buy tons of game material I will never ever ever use in the hopes of cannibalizing it, I even bought The Silver Marches just because Sean Reynolds guilted me into it...and because, as I admitted, I'm a whore) so I couldn't say if it's been revving its engines and heading for a ramp near an aquarium tank. But Greyhawk hasn't jumped the shark, because it didn't get a chance to.
