[QUOTE="Ancient Gamer, post: 1022612, member: 13235"] I'm not asking that WotC provide detailed books for areas like FR did, but give a little more so GM's can develop more personal attentions for their campaigns. Idea's I had was a series of maps detailing first the the land of Oerth into large maps. Someone mentioned Canonfire where someone in there has produced some super awesome maps. If I could get poster size prints of those... such fantastic detail. (Just looking at those maps give not noly a more realistic feel, but details that I can pull up, develop, and create an informative adventure background). Then adventures unique to geograhical areas or political areas. More maps of the more popular and legendary Greyhawk Citys, but developed like the old Lanhkmar or Greyhawk City box sets or the Waterdeep City boxed set (FR) that had been filled with the poster sized maps, sewer tunnel skematics, blank building areas that GM's could develop and set with the city's poster sized map with their own pub, apothocary, blacksmith, fortune teller, etc.. buildings, but have some already developed for play. I'E: a small booklet with The Black Dragon Inn or the Great Library of the city of Greyhawk plus other sites PC's visit - detailed, stocked with NPC's, adventure hooks, etc... I've developed some of this out of need for my games and wished that there was always something more that could be easily acquired/purchased. Plus the fact that the WORLD of Greyhawk is not limited to the chunk of play of that strip of lands ravaged by the Greyhawk Wars :) Where did the Aqua Oreidians travel too when they stuck it further East? What of the secrets held in the lands Blackmore, surely some brave adventurers have already maped more of the exsisting area presented. I would love to see a d20 Game Company acquire the rights to do this (like the guys who have done Kalamar but with the same style and detailed maps as found at Canonfire), IF WotC couldn't or wouldn't take up this challenge, which we all know would sell very well if given the proper advertisements. If I didn't have the job I have now (the military) and had some funds to spare I would try to look at trying to legally publish this. [SIZE=3]Please listen to this WotC!!![/SIZE] I know this is a shared vision, my career has given me the oportunity to meet gamers from coast to coast, US, Canada, UK and even the Downunder, and it has been a topic of discussion. Do a survey, appease your HASBRO masters with witty marketing skills and show them the money! that could come from such an exploit. Take the chance. Don't get extravagant. Keep production costs low and the cost to the consumer relative, just enough to make a modest profit and spread the wealth. I'll buy two of everything, if I can afford it. :D Eric Noah, I vote for your expertise and beseech you to talk to the right people for us little guys in this world of corporate partnerships. You have the heart of Greyhawk at hand. I've read soo much of your contributions. You da man!:D Greyhawk material was there before and it can be again, bigger (poster sized!!) and badder! With a lot more detail, exploit the information out there, both Living Greyhawk and similar Canonfire resources alike! Make it happen! Make it so! Heck! Forward this to the "big wigs" in the respective departments/offices with WotC and HASBRO! Just a little sucking up there, but in all reason, I believe this is a worthy venture. Thank you for listening. Cheers! :D [/QUOTE]
