It still does--he gave me his World of Greyhawk Boxed set when I was 13 or 14. The fonts, the names, the individual drawings of geographical, made this map one of a kind. (IMO, The only handdrawn fantasy world map that's superior would be the colored pencil maps I've seen of Middle-Earth for Iron Crown Enterprises.) Certainly the map has its quirks, but those just add to its charm. I also have the map from From the Ashes boxed set and Paizo's version. While I know Greyhawk fans are split over the From the Ashes and the the original World of Greyhawk boxed sets, but I've enjoyed both. With Greyhawk, I've never felt like I had to go along with official "canon." The original Greyhawk boxed set definitely had that feel. From the Ashes just shook things up a bit. The Living Greyhawk Gazeeter might have been a bit overboard for my tastes but I did enjoy reading it. Eric Mona and Paizo did a great job collecting Greyhawk Lore from over the years. I had a lot of fun with Greyhawk. Ran one campaign that lasted almost 11 years in it. We went all over the Greyhawk map.</blockquote>
