[QUOTE="jokamachi, post: 1104622, member: 6130"] Originally posted by Joshua Dyal No, I'm merely asking for satisfactory growth within the parameters of that mission statement. Living Greyhawk Sourcebook - Both Holian and Mona have said that they would have written more material for the sourcebook if they had been allowed to, but their hands were tied from the beginning. They were initially prepared to offer a lot more in terms of setting, classes, deities, well, you name it, but we were lucky to get what we did. Deities - Both Deities and Demigods and the LGG failed to sufficiently address the Greyhawk Pantheon; the latter lacking in statistics and the former failing to cover the breadth of the pantheon. One book devoted to the subject could have adequately covered all of the deities (which happened for FR), but it never materialized for Greyhawk. Maps - The quality of setting maps has dwindled considerably ever since Wotc got hold of D&D. While the current map has asthetic value, who would take it over the beautifully conceived version Gygax put out in the early eighties? When did it become so difficult to produce a quality product? Living Journal - The journal is the life-blood of the Living Camapign but it barely makes it to players' doorsteps these days. It's well-written, brilliantly executed material, but it doesn't get the attention it deserves in terms of funding or adequate placement. First Wotc nixes the idea of a Living Journal compilation, then the Journal gets shuffled from Dragon to Dungeon. In short, players of Living Greyhawk feed on the bread crumbs Wotc allows to fall from their table. These are the bare bones, the essential components of Greyhawk that must be developed for the setting to exist. None of these requests fall outside a mission statement for Greyhawk. [/QUOTE]
