[QUOTE="Set, post: 3429525, member: 41584"] 'Cause you'd need an eigth sister, silly! :) Personally, I'd rather make the settings *less* similar. It seemed to me that about a decade or so into the Realms-reign, Greyhawk started changing to become 'more Realmsy' with metaplot events (Greyhawk Wars), divine shenanigans (Vecna Lives), power creep (the Circle of Eight advancing past archmage status), etc. Both settings are literally *brimming* with neat stuff. I don't think it would be 'fair' to the fans of either setting to start trimming some of the duplicated stuff. I love a lot of the lesser-used places, like Chessenta or Sunndi or the Lendore Isles, that might get swept under the rug, far more than the 'signature' areas like Greyhawk City or Cormyr or the Dalelands. If D&D ever came out with a decent set of Epic rules, I think the Realms would be the setting-of-choice, already brimming with Epic NPCs and encounters (remember when all Phaerimm ranged from 20-30th level as Wizards?), whereas Greyhawk would be the setting best suited to character levels 1-20. Some might deride Greyhawk as the 'training wheels' setting, for 'newbs,' but I'd be just as happy seeing the settings' strengths not diluted by the desire to cater to Epic levels of play, for which the Realms is already better suited, thematically.
