[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 792138, member: 151"] You missed the Living Greyhawk Gazeeter and the Living Greyhawk Journals, which is missing quite a bit, indeed. Don't confuse the base Gazeeter with the LGG, which was over a hundred pages, with usually two to four pages for some countries, a listing of almost all of the major Greyhawk dieties, a better (but not great) map, and a large amount of campaign material, but almost no Greyhawk 'crunch'. The LGJ had a map of the City of Greyhawk, and they began detailing the city. They also had (and continue to have) custom Greyhawk specific prestige classes (such as the Rheenee barge protectors or wise women, for example), new monsters and old one restatted for 3e (such as the Death Knights, with template) and so forth. I mean, I'm not saying I disagree, but let's give some props where they belong. You're kind of poking Erik Mona in the eye, there. The RPGA, as well, has also released some good Greyhawk materials...but they don't see mass consumption, at all. I think making Greyhawk OGL would be an interesting move, but I think that WotC wouldn't see it as serving their purposes...and might go counter to making it the generic settnig they desire. On the other hand, they haven't made any objection about [URL=http://www.canonfire.com/]Canonfire!, [/URL] , and seem to quietly endorse it. So to, many of the Living Greyhawk web sites, which offer some nice (but scant) materials for the game. In theory, letting the membership advance the storyline is great. But due to low funding and inconsistent management, in practice, it hasn't lived up to the promise. [/QUOTE]
