[QUOTE="R_J_K75, post: 9879288, member: 6921294"] Personally, I don't like Greyhawk. I had people over the years praise Greyhawk, they ran me through a few games...I even bought and read the 2 books that came out in the 2000 3E era. I played in a game where I pulled a "Frank Drebin, from Police Squad" and made my way into a group of Monks of Iuz. I snuck up behind a monk, did the old Frank Drebin/Capt Kirk karate chop to the back of the neck, KO'd him, took his robe and made my way into the monk procession. I could have done that in any game. That's all I remember of Greyhawk. My conclusion of Greyhawk was, it's not interesting. Until 3E, Forgotten Realms was a more thought-out, well-rounded setting. I read the '24 section of the DMG and it was so bare bones that I used some of it; but nothing stood out that made me want to expand on or revisit any area. Done well, it would get a lot of money from a selected niche customer, but it's not for me. [/QUOTE]
