[QUOTE="Thulcondar, post: 3409507, member: 43770"] I disagree, to an extent. I am not a fan by any stretch of spoon-feeding the DM every scrap of information he or she might ever want; that's my major complaint about supplements like "Iuz the Evil" and "The Marklands". However, I think there's still room to fill in missing information that could keep a product line going for at least a few years. The obvious core of such a line would be adventure locations. GH is known for its large dungeon complexes such as Castle Greyhawk, Maure Castle, the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, and of course the underground cavern system under the Hellfurnaces wherein lies the Vault of the Drow (just imagine a line of products covering all the potential adventure locales in there!). A line of products detailing the various major cities would be helpful, too (Irongate, Highfolk, Niole Dra, etc.). I would certainly put out money for an "Armies of Greyhawk" line (maybe a hex-and-counters wargame with various supplements for specific battles, maybe something miniatures-based). Novels are perfectly fine if they're well-written and don't particularly shake the foundations of the setting (like the later Gord the Rogue novels obviously did) or make a pigs ear of established canon (like the Rose Estes books did). Too, there's always room for more large-scale information that covers specific areas of knowledge; a new sourcebook could have more information on trade (rationales for those ubiquitous merchant caravans), for example, or guilds. Too, nothing says it need be limited to the Flanaess; there are the Baklunish Kingdoms to be fleshed out, not to mention the lands further to the West. Plenty of room for new material, without having to advance the timeline or drown the DM in detail, methinks... [/QUOTE]
