[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8643186, member: 7023840"] I've had a number of threads on Greyhawk. I think that the pushback can be roughly divided as follows: 1. People who love Forgotten Realms, and want more FR material, and think that Greyhawk will divert from that. 2. People who hate anything "the olds" like on principle. (There's a fair number of those, but they usually argue that [I]Something something grognards will hate anything anyway so why bother?). [/I] 3. People who don't understand why Greyhawk, to this day, has a devoted following. 4. People who mistakenly assume that Greyhawk is just the same as every other "kitchen sink" setting. 5. Purists who only spell gray with an "a." Personally, I would love to see a new Greyhawk released. My own personal opinion is that there are only three requirements: 1. The Darlene Map. I mean .... c'mon. 2. Try to keep the sense of mystery. I may have a preference, but I don't care what timeline they eventually settle on. But what I would like is that the follow the Folio/Campaign Setting example and have it full of mystery and hooks that DMs can choose to expand on in their home campaigns. 3. Make it interesting. Nothing about the old setting is sacred. I just want something good that is appealing to new players as well. There are so many different "takes" they could use- a GoT-style politics setting, or a S&S + gonzo setting, or a "barely holding on to civilization" setting, or some other take. Just take a point of view and stick with it. [/QUOTE]
