[QUOTE="DreadPirateMurphy, post: 2513513, member: 20715"] There is a certain amount of irony here. The theme of Greyhawk is neutrality, a world without fixed black and white. I find it amusing that it was chosen as the baseline setting in a system frequently critiqued for alignment abuse. It is also interesting that, since it is part of the core rules, it becomes the standard from which everything varies. There is also irony, of course, in that a group of somewhat jaded gamers sees a world filled with dragons, wizards, and mighty conflicts as "nothing special." :) Greyhawk is where you go if you just want baseline fantasy. Eberron is your destination for pulpy fiction adventures. The Realms is the perfect place if you want to walk down a street with an 18th-level aasimar sorcerer, a half-drow paladin, and a polymorphed shadow dragon. [/QUOTE]
