I believe the Greyhawk Campaign setting was a missed opportunity for Wizards of the Coast.

[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6492569, member: 7006"] So the only stories worth doing in the Realms are rehashes of the ones they've already done. I see. The Realms has so much lore, there's no reason to make any new lore, they should just keep repeating the lore they have over and over and over again. Who needs to introduce Elemental Princes into the Realms, when they already have so many other things they've already written about in countless sourcebooks before and could just copy/paste and re-write once again! Why have a segment of the Cult of the Dragon evolve their philosophy? They've only had the same exact machinations for countless centuries which have never worked and that have been described in grand detail in both the 2E 'Cult of the Dragons' sourcebook and a section of the 3E 'Dragons of Faerun' sourcebook. Why didn't they repeat and write this same exact detail and lore in 5E too so people could buy it all a third time? I mean, it's not like they can;t buy any of all this older Realms material from the originals sources it was made, because none of these older FR campaign books are available for purchase in PDF form from dndclassics.com And after all... the Cult only gave themselves 500 years to accomplish their goals... that's not nearly enough time for some parts of it to get disgruntled and try and change it up. So shame on WotC for not photocopying the lore from all the previous books and re-binding in in a 5E one! ;) [/QUOTE]
