Message: <blockquote data-quote="timbannock" data-source="post: 9345519" data-attributes="member: 17913">I love Greyhawk and I absolutely have no need for it being updated by WOTC because I can jettison the bad parts on my own with ease. Plus DMsGuild has the 32 page folio and City of Greyhawk as print on demand for cheap, and they are good quality. I do slightly prefer the 1e box set for its depth on deities and such, but that was easy to get second hand, and I'm sure that'll be up on DMsGuild for POD eventually, too.More to the point, there's nothing they can do in 10-15 pages in the DMG that would be surprising/hard to DIY/worth looking at...aside from the poster map. That part is pretty stellar. But for the Greyhawk grognards? There's no way that appeals as a major/sole selling point except to collectors: the Paizo-era Flanaess map and the (several) City of Greyhawk maps available online can be purchased or printed for cheap. Far cheaper than buying a brand new DMG for them plus a few pages of "already read that" setting info.Based on all that, I gotta agree with the folks saying this is about finding a setting that can be pulled together quickly, and is lore-light enough to fit into a short section, plus has the nostalgia value for the 50th anniversary. Greyhawk hits all those notes, but there's literally nothing they could do that would make it a "killer app" version of the setting that would cause the old-timers to buy it for this reason as a main selling point.That's my take, at least.</blockquote>
