Message: <blockquote data-quote="Man in the Funny Hat" data-source="post: 5793775" data-attributes="member: 32740">Because WotC has always had uncontestable control of the IP of FR since Greenwood sold it all to TSR lock, stock, and barrel.  I suspect that was not the case for GH which was probably a contributing factor to why they had been looking for a new setting at that time anyway. Several years ahead of you there.  I started running FR when it was first released for 1E in 1987 and ran it fairly exclusively through about 2002 when I ran a heavily modified take on it for my big 3E campaign.  After that I was SO bored with it, bored with even tinkering with it, that I took an honest vow to never run it again.  I've thought about reneging briefly once or twice but not with any significant danger of actually going back to it. I could probably get into Greyhawk but for no particularly good reason I just never have. Well, ONE reason is simply that I never, EVER saw it on a store shelf anywhere, or if I did I was not at that time in the market for a setting.  I'm only sorta thinking now about picking up a box set off Ebay, but I again don't really need a setting right now - not even for 5E.  If I don't succumb to the itch to just homebrew something entirely from scratch I'll almost certainly use the Wilderlands materials I have instead as the framework to build a campaign on. Sprout me a nice, new edition of Greyhawk for 5E (if I even LIKE 5E...) and I'll shell out my shekels for it.  If money and a desire to know what I REALLY missed all these years starts burning a hole in my pocket I'll go Ebay for the original stuff.  Otherwise - meh.</blockquote>
