[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7083268, member: 6801845"] Since you're never going to please the people that have an encyclopedic knowledge of Greyhawk (I'm certainly not one myself), I'd simply do a slightly different era. Set it a bit after the conclusion of the last book published, far enough in the future that the dust has settled. I wouldn't do much with rules for PCs, those can be done in other books (or as a separate download). Put the effort into giving a framework for a campaign setting, with factions, regions, organizations. Have a chapter on Greyhawk City itself. Give people enough information about past events that they can set campaigns during those times as well. Have a glossary which includes a reference to appropriate source materials so people know what old books to buy if they're interest in something specific. Basically, give me a relatively clean campaign. One where gods haven't died, merged, split apart and been reborn. One where we haven't had worlds collide only to separate again. Have a sidebar for how to include other races that were not part of the campaign such as dragonborn indicating how you could include them in your campaign, but don't make a lot of effort to integrate them into the campaign. It's not necessary ... if you want them in your campaign they are easy enough to add in. [/QUOTE]
