[QUOTE="storyguide3, post: 972627, member: 8555"] I have also found it odd in the past that Greyhawk fans said on the one hand that the strength of the setting was the lack of confining "official" detail while at the same time clamouring for more detail and supplements. I can only assume that either: a) this represents two distinct camps within Greyhawk fandom, or b) what is really wanted is a happy medium in which there would be more suplemental material, but not as much as has been produced for FR. I would tend to think that (b) would be closer to the truth, but one never knows. Perhaps the most fascinating thing that I have observed (and it goes on in both Greyhawk and FR camps), is when someone will post their own "lore" about the setting to a mailing list, only to be attacked for straying from canon. I find this especially odd in relation to Greyhawk, what with the oft-stated goal of "making Greyhawk your own". [/QUOTE]
