Obviously, this comes out of reading the thread about dark campaign settings. I was wondering who here prefers light settings, and what you think that means. Feel free to give anecdotes about noble PCs, pleasant landscapes, benevolent kings, friendly peasants, and PG-rated villains-- or about what play is like in a world where these things are the norm. Also, how light do you like a setting? How much darkness needs to be there to make the setting feel 'real'?

I'd define a 'light' setting as one where:
a. Geniunely upsetting events are rare and
b. Most bad things that DO occur can be fixed or prevented by the PCs, who are reliably heroic good guys.
I imagine subsequent posters will have their own definitions.
