Basically the same as the last (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=239674) two (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=246791), this time with organizations. Which organizations are your favorite? Any campaign setting, any edition, Fox Only, No Items, Final Destination.

The Zhentarim, the Harpers and the Red Wizards of Thay have to be up there a bit.

The Red Wizards of Thay. The Harpers, obviously. I don't care a whit about Zhents, however, and since I've never played in an actual campaign on the sword coast, Shadow Thieves pretty much never come up. But the Red Wizards? Those dudes are everywhere, man. Just, head tattoos as far as the eye can see.

The Knights of Solamnia are a fixture in my friend's campaigns, so I hear a ton about of them.

You fool! You forgot to turn off items! :smallfurious:

On a more serious note, I'd say that most of the answers are going to be older Forgotten Realms stuff.

I don't know what you're talking about, sir. It says No Items plain as day... :smallcool:

That's more or less what I expected, but I figured I'd ask and see.

id also agree red wizards they are one of the few that’s fairly distinctive even outside their primary setting.

I think an important criteria is how often do people who don’t play (or read books set) in their setting of origin know of them.

Forgotten realms numerous video games gives it an edge when it comes to notability.
