A while back, the Living Greyhawk folks supposedly suggested doing a compilation of the Living Journal, which as you know, is a wonderful resource for the living campaign. Basically, they wanted to take all the issues for a single year and put out a year's worth of journals in a single volume. It seemed like a good idea that would sell fairly well amongst a large number of LGG fans, not to mention a significant percentage of those Greyhawk fans that were not connected to the living camapign. Despite the plan's relative viabilty, the RPGA got shot down. Why? They got their funding cut a long time ago when Wotc was restructured.From what I understand, the original plan for the living campaign was to put out a new sourcebook every year, but Wotc reneged on their promise and Greyhawk got hung out to dry. So in a nutshell, they're not even following their original plan for Living Greyhawk. It's not that they don't have buyers for Greyhawk, the LGG is still selling reasonably well, it's just that other supplements would have followed suit if Wotc had lived up to its agreement with the RPGA. But as you know, they didn't, and sadly, that was only the tip of the iceberg; then they went out and fired nearly everyone in the company.A compilation of the Living Greyhawk Journal is a reasonable place to start if you want to request a specific product from Wizards/Hasbro. But their are others, notably an upadated and expanded hardcover sourcebook. Another one would be better maps, the sort of which we used to see with the old box set. A Faiths and Pantheons for Greyhawk is yet another that comes to mind. Take your pick. If you're a Greyhawk fan, all of these would pique some interest.Lastly, if you have no interest in Greyhawk, that's fine with me; I'm not interested in converting the faithless. I've already read all the responses that say I'm wasting my time and that I'm going to fail in my effort to revive Greyhawk but hey, I knew I would take a lot of flak for writing this. I did it because I truly love the setting and want to see it grow. That's why I will say it again: If you love Greyhawk and want to see more products related to the setting, don't be discouraged by pessimists that can't be bothered to lift a pen. Get yourself an envelope and fire off a letter. It will make a difference.</blockquote>
