They do not even have to be poster size in all cases, as I can use 8.5 x 11 map sheets for certain smaller encounters.Greyhawk Campaign Setting - No nostalgia here as I never owned any of the previous boxed sets/versions.  I was around in the 80s heyday, but home brew and Known World was where things were at.  I still home brew, but everything I have read about Greyhawk has inspired ideas.  I would disagree with some of Gygax's ideas (some of the racial groups are a bit problematic now when it comes to current cultural understanding), but there is a lot to loot in terms of inspiration.  No further support is needed either.  Create a version with a nice poster map (or even better, a huge map to buy separately) and let people take the nostalgia, or a new place to adventure, and then move on to other things.  DM's Guild could provide all further support.Cheers <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
