When did you give up on Greyhawk?

[Treebore]

I quit using GH in 1990, moved on to FR for 10 years, did Ravenloft for about a year of my 3E days, then used Wilderlands for the rest of my 3E days, now I use Erde.

However I still love GH, FR, Ravenloft, and Wilderlands and will play in any of them, and I can definitely see me going back to using them for my settings again, someday.

Yeah I have the comedy Castle Greyhawk on shelf and haven't even bothered to try and sell it because I can't really conceive of anyone wanting it...

I believe that it was ranked by Dragon as one of the worst D&D products ever (or perhaps that was Greyhawk Jam -- I forget).

Lets see, I first played D&D in... 86. My older brother had been running GH for years and didn't switch over to FR. A few years later, when I had a group of my own, I ran exclusively FR (GH has always felt "dry and boring" to me).

Nowadays my default setting is the "Planar Realms of Eber-hawk".

Another one here who hasn't given up at all, despite currently running an Eberron game. I'm still trying to figure out a way to get my player's plane-shifted to the Flanaess, though.

Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk was the first D&D product I had been looking forward to picking up in ages.

Ran in various Greyhawk campaigns up thru the mid 1990s ... tho' as far as the timeline goes everything was pre Greyhawk Wars. Took a break from playing for a while until the Wilderlands came out once more and now am quite happy with this setting ...

27 years and still going strong! And the same campaign timeline.
Another 20 years worth of material to go still. ;-) Who needs another campaign?

Around 1987, when the first Forgotten Realms campaign box came out.

For me, FR inspired me more than Greyhawk did. I read history books for fun, even then, but Greyhaw didn't inspire me the way the FR grey box did. I enjoyed it and changed all of my campaigns to FR pretty quickly after that.

Around 1985 I think, with the Greyhawk boxed set. I dropped if after not being able to get any enthusiasm up about a setting which had a writeup about trees as one of the first chapters or so in the booklet.

Love the map, though.

Never!!!

Never much of a Greyhawk fan here. Back in the 80s, I mostly ran homebrews. In fact, it seemed pretty common to equate DMing with Homebrewing back then. Homebrewing was just what you did.

Currently we are finishing up an Age of Worms campaign that's nominally in Greyhawk, but eh, whatever.
