I agree. It is very much in-genre to have a world around the dungeons. I jumped into gaming in 1981 and we were all about dungeon crawling, but we definitely had maps of the region and names for cities, towns, villages, important people, etc. Soon thereafter I discovered the folio edition of The World of Greyhawk and I was smitten.

This is a separate issue from whether or not it makes sense for SJG to publish a generic fantasy world as a default DFRPG setting. I don't know enough about the potential market.
