[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8640211, member: 22779"] Yuck. Who puts tomato sauce on a burrito? The point being though, whether it's a soft taco or a burrito, it's still Mexican food, right? There are considerably more differences between sushi and a taco or burrito than there is between a taco and a burrito. To terribly mangle the metaphor. Let's be honest here. You are likely using mostly (with a few exceptions) the same monsters in FR as Greyhawk. It's not like you have totally separate Monster Manuals. The classes play in either setting without modification. There are no setting specific rules like insanity (like you would see in say, Ravenloft). Most of the races work pretty much the same - there isn't an enormous difference between a mountain dwarf in FR or Greyhawk. IOW, if you strip out the proper nouns, there aren't a lot of differences. And, I say this as a HUGE Greyhawk fan. I ADORE Greyhawk. I really do. There's just so many fun bits in it and, unlike Forgotten Realms, there isn't a mountain of lore behind it meaning that it's much, much easier to color in the blank spaces how I want to, rather than following someone else's creation. But, let's be honest here. FR and Greyhawk are a lot closer to each other than any other setting. I'm rather stuggling to think of any adventure that would work in one setting that wouldn't work or would be terribly out of place in the other setting. [/QUOTE]
