D&D has had so many adventures and settings that it can be easy for some to slip into obscurity, but some of them really deserve to be better known. I recently bought and read the original World of Greyhawk box set on a whim, I had only ever played the setting as a vague backdrop in some 3.5 games and never thought much of it. But after reading this, I feel like its a great example of how to do writeup for a campaign setting. Its not long, but very full of adventuring potential and intrigue between states, interesting characters, and evocative history that is kept to an appreciable briefness. It is somewhat "generic" but it makes up for that by being exceedingly gameable in a way that many setting supplements I've read just aren't. Its inspired me somewhat to maybe revisit that world. And yet despite these virtues, Greyhawk, when ever mentioned at all, is pretty much all about the post-Greyhawk wars which IMO does away with a lot of these good points.
