What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
Anything you've ever played DnD in is good.
Published, homebrew, etc..., it doesn't matter.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
My group and I have fallen in love with Eberron, and I think we intend to stay in it for the foreseeable future.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
I've fallen in love with the Pathfinder Campaign Setting, and its world of Golarion.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
Eberron! My most favorite setting.
Lately I've been overexposed to Golarion though, not because I love it more than Eberron. it just that it is PF standard setting and Paizo's AP are just so good.
Midnight is cool too if only I go a chance to play in it...

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
Planescape, Dark Sun, Ravenloft & Spelljammer are all pretty high up there.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
My own of course! Published wise, I really like Forgotten Realms and Eberron.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
Forgotten Realms gave me Baldur's Gate and Year of Rogue Dragons. I'll love it ever after.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
I've been DMing an Eberron campaign for a while and have liked it a lot so far.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
Sharn.
...
Oh, there's more to Eberron besides Sharn? Heh.
That and Ravenloft. I've recently been playing around with the Masque of the Red Death alternate setting for Ravenloft [1890's Gothic Victorian Earth]. The fluff is great but White Wolf fails at D&D mechanics. The Ravenloft setting published by White Wolf's Arthaus in the early 2000's is fantastic fluff and art.
After that...probably Sigil. Yes, I consider Sigil to be a campaign setting, much like Sharn."We have sent many to Hell, to smooth our way," said I, "and we are standing yet and holding blades. What more?"- Roger Zelazny, This Immortal

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
Eberron and Planescape. The group doesn't care for planescape much though, so I rarely get to indulge. We do some Eberron, but more often we use FR because everyone is more familiar with it.
A man who dies fighting with his principles intact dies in glory. To expect enemies to follow the same code of honor defiles that honor, reducing it to a set of arbitrary rules.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
Rokugan.
A setting where the only thing you really own are your own words and deeds. Where honour really is a force more powerful than steel and where a single strike of a blade can rock empires to their foundations.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
Glorantha, setting first for the wargame King of Dragon Pass, then the RPG Runequest, is far and away my favorite published setting ever. Amazing history and mythology, incredibly detailed and original - never been anything like it before or since.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
Eberron, but I do have to give Golarion, Dark Sun and Rokugan runner-up positions.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
Kalamar, dark sun, maztica, rokugon, eberron. In that order, more or less.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
'Homebrew in general' is probably my favourite of all, but of the published settings I'd say it's definitely Planescape. Followed by Ravenloft, when I'm in the mood for it.
I have a slight soft spot for the Forgotten Realms simply because so many of my favourite computer games have been set in it, but I'm otherwise neutral towards it. Similarly, I have a slight soft spot for Greyhawk because I think of it as the default setting. I would be unlikely to pick either of them if somebody asked me to pick one setting to play in, though.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
I'm surprised at all the people who like Eberron, I didn't know it was this popular.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
Like some people have already said, I love Forgotten Realms for all the great cRPGs that gave us. Beyond that, my biggest exposure so far has been to Greyhawk and I don't find it bad. I consider Eberron better in pretty much every aspect though and Ravenloft my personal favourite.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
By far Planescape, followed by Eberron and then Forgotten realms (more for the nice PrCs and the idea of the regional feats)

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
Kingdoms of Kalamar really. Haven't had a chance to play or run it (stupid real life and responsibilities), but I've been dreaming of it for a while.
It doesn't matter what game you're playing as long as you're having fun.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
Eberron and Planescape. I just love the style of them. Plus, Eberron has warforged and Planescape is possibly the most open setting for monstrous PCs, and I love me some monstrous PCs.

Re: What is your favourite Campaign Setting?
No love for Dragonlance? Shucks, guys.
Saying that X isn't overpowered because it can be countered in contrived manner Y does not prove that it isn't overpowered. You've proved that it has weaknesses. Congratulations. The state of being overpowered, however, is not an absence of weaknesses but a surplus of strength beyond what would be commiserate with your weaknesses.
