To add to the pile of compliments and info about Greyhawk, I'll add my two coppers:
What I enjoyed - and found to be 'new tech' when I was starting out late-80s, was the bare bones descriptions of lands, and they boiled down to things like:
Who are they warring with? Who are they friends with? What do they produce? What can someone profit by selling there? How rich are their minerals? How Bad are their humanoid threats?
I would never have thought of those things, worldbuilding, until I discovered Greyhawk.
Fun fact: Greyhawk was Chicago. Dyvers was Milwaukee.
