[QUOTE="AdmundfortGeographer, post: 2592650, member: 4682"] I disagree that it is possible for WotC to produce a hardcover incorporating the changes that has happened in the LG campaign. I was part of one of the regional triads for a period of time. The campaign has run for 5 years now, sure. But there have been about 29 regions (a 30th will be added soon, The Sultanate of Zeif). Each region produced 8 to 9 modules per year, plus there are 5 Metaregions which produce 8-9 adventures per year, and each year there are 20 Core adventures. Roughly 160 adventures produced per year... multiplied by 5 gives us about 800 adventures to wade through to find which ways the setting was changed. Plus, all of the interactives, Con specific events, some regions produced 4 per year. Now, not to mention the "metaorgs" each triad developed. Metaorgs are associations that characters can join, nearly each of these were firmly anchored in the setting. Something like a Church of Holy Shielding metaorg (the Shield Lands alone has over 23 such organizations), and all this work done in polishing this off could be found for hundreds and hundreds of other organizations from documents on each of the Regional websites. The scope of such a project to coordinate about 90 volunteers scattered across the globe, all of them, into submitting [b]adequate[/b] documents detailing the changes that have happened to their region over 5 years is monumental. Good luck editing this down, or even re-writing it, because some of it has been crap and that will need to be worked with. Not to forget all of the work that Erik Mona published under the much-mourned Living Greyhawk Journal, the standalone, Polyhedron, and Dungeon magazine iterations... A single hardcover book detailing the changes to the Living Greyhawk campaign is just not possible due to the massive amount of work that has been produced already... I imagine that WotC has a firm grasp that Living Greyhawk is not a small thing (I last heard over 18,000 active players around the planet), but I wonder if they have an idea how much material the unpaid campaign volunteers have produced over the course of its run-to-date. I just don't see them devoting any resources to cataloging what's gone on with it. It's too big. [/QUOTE]
