Seriously, FR has had huge amounts of support since second edition, one year off I doubt will ever impact your ability to run an FR campaign, especially since the CS book has more than enough info to run lots and lots of different campaigns.I use it because it's good. I also run GH because it's good. I adapt Eberron, FR, IK, and other 3rd party stuff to my GH campaign.It being GH is only icing on an otherwise tasty cake, because, even though they're 'just' adventures, each adventure contains scads and scads of lore about that campaign setting which helps me run my GH campaign since I don't have a CS book to refer to.It may not be a troll per say, but the remark is an almost casual dismissal of Greyhawk as a setting that it can very easily be seen as a troll, especially with how you combine 'simple, low-level, and light' together.  Greyhawk can succeed at all levels of play, just as FR, PS, and [most] other settings can. It's fine if you don't care for GH, just don't dismiss it so readily.  Obviously, I could dismiss FR as a munchkin paradise with a hodge-podge of lands and regions combined together without any sense of coherency lorded over by cheesy novels, crappy metaplots, and horribly powerful DM characters. But I wouldn't, because such a generalization would be demeaning to the FR fans, and I don't want hundreds of frothing fans beating down my door right now. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I seriously doubt that GH will ever get licensed to another company, in my ignorant opinion, mainly because of the amount of 'brand naming' that is in the setting. All those core gods, the core planar cosmology, Mordenkainen, Iuz, Bigby, etc. That's probably the biggest stepping stone right there. I could see some special license being given to Paizo or something, but if Greyhawk is going to be revived, it's prolly gonna be WotC that does it.And I hope they do (at least as a oneshot Campaign Setting book). <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I don't recall anyone saying that. Care to quote for me?A valid criticism. Saying that material is available via the RPGA really doesn't mean much for the casual DM/group that doesn't want to join/be affiliated with the RPGA.</blockquote>
