And now?haakon1 said:Assuming that was not a rhetorical question . . .
I asked him once: If someone bought D&D and let him run it again, would he be interested in writing for it again? He said he'd think about it, by which I think he meant yes, if I was serious and the offer was right and he had creative freedom, but no if I was just trying to create controversy.
Sadly, my friends and I don't have $30 m. (Doesn't anybody game at Google?! Then start a darn gaming club and buy D&D with 10 of your friends!)
But I don't think he wants to work full time anymore.
I got a totally opposite answer from the Wizards' GH forum. Can't say I disagree with that one.

Yes, but playing D&D as published by Google would be an excercise in futility. You'd have no opponents - alignments would go LG, LN, CG, CN, N. Furthermore, there'd be no need to actually search for treasure since locate any object would become the most powerful spell in the game...!

I figure that Greyhawk will go back to the places it lurked while TSR was busy running AD&D into the ground, come out again a little once Hasbro figures out a way to sell off the D&D license without looking like chumps, and eventually die a slow lingering death as even the youngest of the 80s generation gamers die. You know, more of the same.

Won't they just put greyhawk material on the web. They probably will put more of it up there, because they could more accurately guage its interest by monitoring the clicks it receives?
Why is there any expectatioin that the web content will be vastly different than magazine? At worst it will be like enworld except official, at best it could be a faster way to get official Greyhawk material

It's highly doubtful there will be any Greyhawk presence in the new Wotsbro online Dragon/Dungeon. They have obviously taken the magazine under their own wing to better support their own game product, so that mean prbably a little more FR and a WHOLE lot more Eberron (ick).DonTadow said:
Sorry, but I have no doubt that the "best" we can hope for is "non-specific" setting material. The days of the 12-part Greyhawk Adventure Paths and kewl Darlene-style Greyhawk poster maps is over.

It means the temporary resurgence will come to an end. And just after I was getting back into it and running Greyhawk for the first time, ever, too (I played in GH in my early gaming years - I never ran it though, as it was "the other DM's" campaign world in my group.)
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.

What of Greyhawk is going away? How has Greyhawk gone downhill?
I've been using Greyhawk since the first boxed set, upgraded with the City boxed set and picked and chose what in the Wars edition I wanted.
It wasn't a meta-game themed, over-powered NPC with six class' and spanning varying genres (oriental to occidental) ala Forgotten Realms, and the others that went down in flames with TSR.
It was and is a base world with not too much detail so you could steer it anywhere you liked. I don't care where the author says his adventure takes place, when I run it, its in Greyhawk.
