(learning things the first time being when you ask "why?" more often than making assumptions) I feel your pain 'cuz I got me an VERY old-school GH player, a player who knows more about GH than most anyone around, and an extremely active RPGA player who knows the whole "new world" Greyhawk.  I predicted a potential nightmare, (even tho the players are all open-minded).  So now we're playing in Greyhawk 643CY.  About 50 years in the future depending upon your point of reference.  So far it's working.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /></blockquote>
