I was glad that there was no 4E Greyhawk after seeing what happened to the Forgotten Realms setting. I've been able to get by with my older Greyhawk material in the Pathfinder era. Still, it'd be nice to get some things like a monk archetype for the Scarlet Brotherhood, Greyhawk-based character traits, an adventure path with Saint Kargoth or Lorana Kath as the ultimate villain, and similar goodies.I've got to spread the XP around before giving more to Dice4Hire, but yes. A thousand times yes. One of the right moves I think 4E made was in coming up with a new setting, even if we never got a hardcover book for it. For D&D to work, it has to keep things fresh, or "relevant," if you prefer that buzzword. I believe that part of Pathfinder's success was tied to the creation of Golarion. A new core setting can't be too far from classic fantasy tropes. It has to strike a careful balance of being new, but at the same time, seeming instantly familiar. I actually think the core 4E world works reasonably well in this respect except for the cosmology.</blockquote>
