Only the Lonely: Why We Demand Official Product

5 worlds? Not sure what that means.

They used to sell map packs. If they made something similar with 5 poster sized maps if the campaign settings I would pay for that.

Printing maps off PDFs suck.

And, frankly, given the quality of printers these days, or the proliferation of companies that will print for you on pretty much any surface you would like, I'm not sure I buy that it's that difficult to generate a map from a pdf. I'm looking at my Primeval Thule map on my wall, printed on 8 A3 pages and it certainly does the job. If I wasn't such a cheap bastard, I could get it printed a heck of a lot nicer for like, what, 20 bucks?

Um. Depend on the company, the print is only as good as pdf. What looks great on your machine will not look great on an 18 by 36 poster. Ask me how I know. Never mind research some of my posts and questions during Tomb.

This. Now a rant.
RANT. Why is it a lot of you want to add crunch to every name thing? Purple Paladins of Pittsburgh is piece of lore. They must have this feat, carry an +5 holy potatoe peeler. The Scarlet Brotherhood are named group. They must be this special build. Each and every Scarlet Brotherhood will have the exact build for each level see this 40 page hand out of builds.
How about this? The name group is just a group with a specific goal. Like all you fan people of (insert your favorite) sports team. You all generally wear a uniform (team t-shirt). You all want the team to win. But you all look different and go about your lives until start time on game day.

This is a Strawman. Nobody here has requested that crunch be added to every named thing. A few pieces of crunch in a new book? Yes. The absurd argument you make above? No.

But, again, @Maxperson, the crunch you want IS AVAILABLE. It's there. Granted, true, it's not in the form you prefer. I get that. But, it's not that it's totally unavailable. The fact that it's not bundled into a print book probably has a lot more to do with market factors than anything else. There just isn't enough demand for it.

Now, maybe this year or next or whatever, we'll start seeing these setting update books. Fantastic. I've got nothing against the notion. However, if they do happen, they will update the WHOLE setting, not just the bits that you or I personally happen to like. Which means an updated Greyhawk will be after the Greyhawk Wars. There's just too many people who have kept the timeline going to ignore.

Show me the official well playtested 5e Greyhawk campaign crunch? If you can do that, it's available. If you cannot, it is not.

Nope. Try again.

Not that it's any of your business, but I thought he was making a funny.

It was an honest question, I wasn't sure. No offense.
