Not to mention shapeshifters and other weird stuff as standard races.Greyhawk might have some weird tension between the rules and low-magic, but Eberron has a big freakin' weird tension between itself and classical fantasy. I don't remember them discussing how to get into mordor, and merry pipin' up suggesting they take the sub.It might embrace everything that's in 3e, but it puts a lot of stuff in a lot of people don't want. Better to use Greyhawk. There won't be that much of the setting in the book, anyway, and that way they don't have to leave races out of the PHB.You must realize this: If they're going to make Eberron the default, a lot of people will not move over to 4e. Roleplaying isn't exactly as widespread as computer games, anyway, and they're losing some people with each new edition, but if they should deliberately peter off large numbers of loyal fans, they shoot themselves in the foot.The Realms would not be a great Idea, either. Too many people hate that, too. But GH: Some like it, most don't mind it, since you have to point out that it even exists. The way they describe it, it's so bland that it hides in plain sight.The way it is introduced right now, it's not supposed to be more in the core rules: Just some names and examples for things so people can pach them for their own game. If they decide to buy a ready-to-serve campaign world, you can pull out the rich, detailed stuff with lots of weird cool things and whateveryouwant.</blockquote>
