[QUOTE="DDK, post: 594535, member: 6469"] It has been patiently explained to me before by others, however much like math, it just didn't sink in. Although eventually I intend to read it and understand it myself, currently the motivation to do so right now is less than the pain I'll endure doing so :) So, I'd like to call upon the knowledge of those here in an attempt to understand the whole ESD license. Basically, as a Greyhawk fan, I'm left with few options if I want to have access to all the material. Essentially I can either buy a poor quality scan from WotC IF it's one of the scanned products, pay exhorbitant collector prices for a lot of the 'classic' classics (assuming you can find them at all, and assuming you have access to a credit card or live in an area where there's a second hand bookstore that stocks RPG material), or piracy. I honestly think that part of the reason Greyhawk is less popular than other settings is simply due to the fact that it's so inaccessible. So, essentially, I'd like to know what would be involved in reprinting some of the modules and source books for Greyhawk. I understand that Kenzer has a license to work with 1st/2nd ed. and they've produced several parodies of the original modules like 'Little Tomb of Horrors' and 'Smackdown the Slavers' but my intention would be to either do a faithful reprint or, if that's not allowed, a straight 3rd ed. conversion. Thanks for any input. [/QUOTE]
