A few things are on my wish list (and yes, I'm well aware I can get digital versions somewhere online but I would prefer to GIVE YOU MY MONEY)
Reprint and relaunch the Greyhawk Folio or Boxed Set - Either of these would be great, just because the copies out there are getting very old indeed. I've already gone through 2 Darlene maps that have just started falling apart at the creases from being openend and closed so many times. There really wouldn't be much, if any, stat conversion to do. i daresay, it's already compatible with 5e.
Ultra-Deluxe Darlene Map (Standalone Product) - Okay take this to your leaders. Get the Darlene map convert it into a single (you could do two pieces if manufacturing costs are too high, I'm willing to compromise), rollable, vinyl, water-makerable, full color reproduction, of the Darlene Greyhawk maps. A different configuration might be to make it out of fabric, which would not be marker friendly but would certainly last. Myself and many others I'm sure would love to shell out $$$$$ for this item. Or, in the immortal words of Fry
Reprint More AD&D 1e / 2e modules! - Yes, the PDFs on D&DClassics are amazing, I have them all now. Thank you. But please reprint the actual physical modules. Reference image above.
Thank you.
There is a big demand out there for Greyhawk products and it is a shame that WOTC have ignored it so far with 5e. I can only hope that with outsourcing to other publishing firms (kobold press) that they decide to outsource Greyhawk and allow it to flourish. I would rather that than Dark Sun or Eberon!

Greyhawk! just do it...C'Mon! 5E was practically written to take place in that setting.
I love Greyhawk and will gladly buy any of the new sourcebooks/modules, if they release them
Anyway, for all of you guys who want reprints, there is an easy solution... just buy the PDF then print them through lulu. They are much cheaper than WotC reprinting them.
It would be just about $10 in all ($5 for PDF then $5 for PoD).
Finally, when it comes to maps, I actually personally prefer Anna's maps.
I really wish that WotC would print them and sell them.... I'm suite sure than Anna would let them.
I love Greyhawk and would buy Greyhawk products if WotC would either publish them or out source them to a 2nd company like it looks like they are doing with adventures and sourcebooks.

I will spend money on anything Greyhawk. I hope that WoTC will allow dedicated free lance gamers to create products for Greyhawk, even publish them so we'll have something rather than nothing. I can't seen myself spending a dime an anything Forgotten Realms or Ebberon. The 4e Darksun was good enough to cannibalize for conversion and I don't see myself spending money on new DS material either.
I really miss the old maps. It was D&D and the Greyhawk Maps that led me to Cartography as an MOS in the USMC. When I had a choice between Terrain Analyst or Map Making I chose D&D.
Really, it would be nice to see Greyhawk released as a series of modules that also function as campaign supplements to showcase the land, people, and cultures to explore. That classic approach is what gave me a love for campaign settings that lack a metaplot but are rich with material for tailoring or using directly in a campaign with no changes. The Greyhawk Adventures hardcover's format combining plot hooks, adventures, stories, dramatis personae, monsters, and magic items is something most people would purchase. Time isn't easy to come by. Pencil-n-Paper games are competing with video games for entertainment. It's difficult for starting DMs or the average busy person to read through mountains of fluff and then come up with a campaign that will last more than a few sessions. A supplement built with thematic adventures and campaigns in mind saves time, and that's something worth buying.
I have little hope that WoTC will do anything worthy of the classics but I'll buy it anyway. Anything Greyhawk is better than FR.

I only have the 1E Box Set of Greyhawk, and I would like the most current iteration for 5E. Is the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer PDF from 2000 my best option? Does it even have maps?
In anticipation of WOTC (hopefully) releasing an updated Greyhawk setting for 5e- I have been converting the original Greyhawk boxed set to the new edition. It's my (and my groups plan) to play through From The Ashes and up to the Return of the Eight. And hopefully when we are done/caught up- the new Greyhawk set will be released. It's also my hope that they return to the actual boxed sets for settings rather than just campaign books.
+1 for "take my money for a Greyhawk set including a poster map!"
+1 on anything for Greyhawk.
On a side note is there any chance that WOTC will get a character generator or any software for 5E?
It would be fairly easy to create an interactive website for character generation. Then I could mail the link to my players before starting a new campaign.
Perhaps it could be placed at part of wizards.org. or perhaps https://www.obsidianportal.com/ could pay to host it.
