[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 5962579, member: 25619"] Nod. White Plume Mountain. Vault of the Drow. Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth. Temple of Elemental Evil. There's a lot of Greyhawk randomly on that map, apparently with the Greyhawk surgically removed. Speaking as a long-time Greyhawk fan, I more disheartened to see the IP ripped from the setting than I am to see the old names applied to new stuff. Like when I saw "Kingdom of the Ghouls" from WOTC for 4e at my FLGS, but without Wolfgang Baur's name on it (he created it), it pissed me off. So I guess my plea is: 1) We don't need another [I]crappy [/I] version of Greyhawk that doesn't respect the source material. Looking at you "From the Ashes" from the 2e era. But a RESPECTFUL republishing of the actual world Gygax created (plus Paizohawk additions), like the Living Greyhawk Gazeteer from 3e would fine. The hope beyond hope would be if WOTC just gave the setting to Paizo, but heck, I wish they'd give the name "D&D" to Paizo too, and that's not going to happen. 2) We don't need another [I]crappy[/I] version of Forgotten Realms. I'm not a Realms fan, but it seems like it gets yanked around at will by WOTC to move low quality rules. If Ed Greenwood writes what he wants, not as a product tie-in but because he actually wants to, fine. 3) We really don't need another full blown setting. 5e should be about uniting, not dividing with yet another new thing. So 5e in Realms, if it's done in a quality way, is probably the best answer. Maybe with nods to other existing settings like the Nentir Vale. [/QUOTE]
