[QUOTE="Henry, post: 325200, member: 158"] Actually, Forceuser, I would debate that it's the other way around - Greyhawk was RE-written with 3E in mind. Many snippets from various former WotC designers (Monte Cook and Sean Reynolds, for two) over the past year or so have intimated that this was the case. Flexor, I think 3E's various options may surprise you if you give them a chance. I know that D&D may not feel like "D&D" to you with spellcasting dwarves, gnome paladins with small noses, and Mind Flayer Rangers, but I can say that the rules work together surprisingly well. Even if you do not wish to go into full-bore 3E, there is always "D&D 2.5" - which is what it sounds like you are doing now, more or less. Perhaps the best bet is to create a setting all your own! Crib some good parts from Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms, and create your own world where things will be happiest for you creatively speaking. It isn't Greyhawk, it's not a published setting, it's one to call your own, and muck about as you please, without getting they feeling that you are "selling out Greyhawk" with a bunch of rules that didn't exist before the world did.
