[QUOTE="meomwt, post: 3478056, member: 47885"] There's displaced peoples (Geoff, Tenhas, etc.) trying to reclaim their homes; a demi-god trying to control the world; the disintegration of The Great Kingdom; the effects of war on Nyrond and Furyondy... There are lots of themes of a world trying to regain some equilibrium after a major conflict. Also, the Deities don't interfere so much as in FR, so there's more of a theme of Humans (and Demi-humans) looking after their own affairs. FR (as I understand it) has more subterfuge (Red Wizards, Harpers, etc.), and more of a High Magic feel. Greyhawk is more direct, and, though there are magical movers and shapers, magic is less prevalent than in the Realms. There are real battle lines, and opportunities for 'behind enemy lines' scenarios which FR may not have. On the whole, Greyhawk is a good toolbox. To be honest, I've had it in a holding pattern, set just after the Wars, ever since I started playing there last decade.
