[QUOTE="grodog, post: 8887178, member: 1613"] You can definitely do that in any setting, as long as you're willing to ignore what canon has already been published. (For the record, I do exactly that in Greyhawk all the time ;) ). And while there is a fair amount of content for Greyhawk published, much more has been published for FR over the years, so my sense is that it may be harder to find areas that are less-well-defined than in Greyhawk, as well as (on the flip side of the coin) more difficult to master the larger volume of material if you're trying to play between the lines (so to speak). That was definitely my intent: to try to show that (for me and for many other Greyhawk fans) the amount of lore available falls within that sweet spot where you have enough info to get inspired but plenty of room to grow, both within the confines of the existing lore, but also to build your own. Allan. [/QUOTE]
