That being said I for one am sick of the forgotten realms and wish they were forgotten due to the media overload and books and lore it is way overdone to the point its boring. There is no room for your own corner there is the realms lore and most who want to play there is because of this and I am a very creative GM and do not like running premade anything. Greyhawk had its lore but also had open parts close enough or areas left open enough that you could add stuff or entire nations. Yes you could do this with most settings but greyhawk had a feel to it unlike other settings the rules seemed blurred, I for one used an allegiance type system not alignment but a point type system and this dictated the loss of paladin abilities or gaining them back through role play and quests. In this way two paladins with good gods might be opposed to one another and even fight each other. As far as classes using something like the modern system would work better as some of the NPC characters were never just strait classes or like the system I am working on 3 base classes a warrior expert and caster with professions and options at every level. The combat and casting system is way off from the D&D base As there are various Defences and spells scale at every level and can be given more or less power to do different effects as well as having side effects to the spell cold can freeze and do hyperthermic damage. Almost done with it on  power sources for spells right now, any way got off topic, I would love a new updated greyhawk with current information a big old map and some of the areas detailed with a race and creature book you know a campaign book a creature book and a players guide race book This would make me happy then they could just go on and pump out the realms stuff all they want</p></blockquote><p></p>
