[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 7094479, member: 6775477"] Detailing Greyhawk for a player's handout for my next campaign. I did a quick one for my current campaign, and discovered there have been A LOT of superficial changes since 1E, which has created some confusion. For example: Dwarves speak in a Scandinavian accent, not Scottish (I still have no idea where the hell that came from) Female Dwarves have beards, as do dwarven young Dwarves as a rule don't like Elves (Gimili/Legolas was supposed to be the EXCEPTION) Elves only average 5' tall (I blame the Realms for the overgrown elves) Elves as a rule don't like Dwarves... or humans much either Gnomes are not tinkerers and there are no Forest Gnomes in Greyhawk (I need to make my own sub-race) Half-Orcs are generally hated and feared, so PC Half-Orcs are part of the small percentage that can pass as ugly humans (nor are they super-huge like in WOW) Kobolds are not related to dragons... nor are all the other dozen or so lizard creatures that speak Draconic because the writers are too lazy to come up with another language Orcs are pig headed humanoids... nothing like the way they are presented in WOW You get he idea. Oh, and before anyone tries to point out that Greyhawk does have XYZ, realize this is based on the 1980 and 1983 Folios, as well as the 1E core rule books. Nothing beyond this is canon as far as I'm concerned :) [/QUOTE]
