[QUOTE="JohnRTroy, post: 5789151, member: 2732"] For me, the biggest problem I have with going back to Greyhawk is the following. I want the original creators involved with the setting, in some way. Ed Greenwood is still alive, still active, and writes for the setting. Even with corporate mandated changes, both he and R.A. Salvatore have worked with them and done a good job with their contributions and other items. Gary Gygax is dead. And since his ouster from TSR back in 1986, Greyhawk has suffered from too many reboots/changes. From the really bad continuation of the "Greyhawk adventures" line, to numerous political changes, to changes because of the 3e ruleset, etc, Greyhawk has had so many changes that have fractured the fan base. I wouldn't mind, and would actively encourage, Wizards to reprint the classic setting boxed set from 1983, as well as some classic modules, at least from a literary perspective--but I can't see really continuing the setting ad infinitum. Somehow, I like the perspective of not continuing a series after its creator has died. [/QUOTE]
