Summary: Good - Not great
Comment: This is a good addition to the world of Greyhawk campaign setting. More for the updated and conflict resolved history of Oerth and Oerik than for anything really new. Its focus is more on the city of Greyhawk than on the rest of the Flanaess. This is good for starting a campaign, but not if you are somebody who already have long estiblished campaigns going on in the World of Greyhawk.

The author being Roger E. Moore was a wise choice of for this project, as he is responible for much good stuff to come out about the D&D game. He wrote lots of articles about it and was editor of Dragon Magazine for several years as well. He contributed many of the non-human deities to Greyhawk back when Gary Gygax was still manning TSR and activily developing Greyhawk.

Is is good that Greyhawk has once again become the home of the Dungeons and Dragons game.

All in all, a solid product.

However, if you are a long time gammer, much of the information contained within is stuff you already knew and either used, or didn't use. Its one biggest draw-back as I see it is the aceeptace of most of the enforced story lines on it. The greatest stength of the orignal world of greyhawk was that there was no enforced campaign historys. But, you can't just toss all the Greyhawk Wars/From the Ashes stuff either, I guess. Too many people using it.

But then, thats almost a religious issue amoung RPGers. Still, its good that Greyhawk is no longer dead.

Summary: Epic resurgence for the World of Greyhawk
Comment: Have you ever wished that you could have all of the essential information and darkest secrets of the Free City of Greyhawk in one volume, compiled at your fingertips? This giant, 128-page guide (for the DM's eyes only!) gives full details on the people, cultures, shops, sights, dungeons, and arcane magic of the most famous and majestic city in roleplaying. Also includes a gorgeous color poster map of the surrounding regions, a 16-page map booklet, and more! The ultimate reference for a classic Greyhawk campaign.

Summary: a rather disappointing return
Comment: Compared to the original Greyhawk boxed set, or even the City of Greyhawk boxed set, this new "return" of Greyhawk is pathetic. TSR killed Greyhawk several years ago, and it seems they are intent on killing it by default again by not releasing quality materials. Fortunately I am an old Greyhawk fan and DM, and have a ton of material to reference and plenty of in-house produced stuff. One who is new to the world will be terribly disappointed. Shame on you TSR/WotC, for doing a disservice to this rich and vibrant campaign.
