It wasn't because they were trying to metagame, but when a player has been in five campaigns in the last couple of years including ones they've run that all used the same canon setting, it's hard to remember the details that one DM has changed. When even players that are ok with changes have to be reminded of them all the time, it becomes too much work to deal with canon altered settings.So, I developed a homebrew. I still have issues because since the PHB considers the Greyhawk world to be "default", everybody assumes that the Greyhawk gods are the ones to choose from. If the players aren't aware of FR, then they still assume that the "default" Greyhawk gods are the ones to choose from. Considering how the Greyhawk setting is supposed to be default, yet there ineffect, is no actual setting and nothing in the books except for the gods, that design decision reall has caused me trouble with no benefit. Back in the old days, when the PHB was setting independant, there were much fewer problems and much more player expectation that each campaign would be different, even if using the same published setting.</blockquote>
