[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 7749328, member: 5142"] I have never played Greyhawk. I also came in when 3e was released. Sure, the 3e PHB had a barebones Greyhawk (mostly just a handful of deities), but my GM used his own homebrew. I also thought that Greyhawk seemed kinda bland and generic. I was curious as to why people remembered Generichawk so fondly. I even remember being wide-eyed about the release of this pretty new book called Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. But then came Eberron... It was not until much later, within the past four or so years, that I looked back at Greyhawk, spurred by grognards here talking about what makes Greyhawk unique. A lot of responses recounted something akin to the above, and I know that I am not doing their responses justice. It was not until I gained more experience GMing that I started seeing the appeal of Greyhawk from the GM-side of things. It was something akin to an "Oh :):):):)" epiphany moment. I still haven't played it, but when imagining "What would it be like to run Greyhawk," it seemed to click. Any thoughts on my earlier reply to you about what other settings D&D could do? Or did I miss that? [/QUOTE]
