Like that would be really neat because I think somehow what I see more and more at the table is only the cleric seems to care about their deity and actually very little. Like I'm seeing more and more of that. That's not always, but you just, you know, we're further, further away.

Right.

Right.

Yeah, for sure. I agree with you, Sean. I'll just add from my end that the other thing is you see it's patternistic in the same way that if you read an encyclopedia, we've said this is encyclopedic. You know, at some point you're like, I'm going to learn. I'm going to read everything in the encyclopedia. You may have done this if you're old.

And you at some point went, yeah, maybe I'm done or I'll skip this section. And it's the same way. These start resembling the approach that was taken to the book over and over again, even though they're different regions. It's, you know, this war and this clash. And how did I use threaten you? You know, how did I use hurt you? Please tell us. And what are you doing about it?

Which is probably, you know, not great. And it's like that. And it really does... continue the same pattern over and over again. So even though there are some really neat regions, like, you know, we haven't talked about Valley of the Mage. We've only addressed Voluna a little bit, you know, Verbal Bonk. Some of these are famous areas that tie into the history.

But I think as listeners, you get it. You get what's here. And if you are curious about the last few regions, we have three where we kind of wrote up we were going to cover and won't. And then we have the list of the others.

And so you can take our show notes and go look up anywhere on the internet, kind of, you know, backgrounds about those if you want to complete it or check out the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer yourself. But, you know, I think that, you know, if I can say to sort of wrap this up, Sean, and add your piece of what you think.

One of the things we wanted to do with this series was answer the question that a lot of people will ask, which is, how is Greyhawk different from the Forgotten Realms or other settings? And it's different because I think it more closely ties to war games. the ideas of nations conquering one another, and this being a lot of the play that's in place, right?

It's been really fun for me to read John Peterson's Playing at the World, and I'm holding a copy of the second edition, because in fact, in this, they share that in one of the early diplomacy games that they're playing, they have these various variants of diplomacy, and one of them includes one involving the Great Kingdom. And it has the near div in it.

And, you know, this is all parts that we've covered in Greyhawk because they start just using it, this world for the lake of unknown depths and the dry steps. And let's see, where's my picture? There we go. You know, this is literally the world of Greyhawk or part of it. And and just that's what's going on here. Right. It's an it's a coming from this background.
