    Default What is your favourite Campaign Setting?

    Anything you've ever played DnD in is good.
    Published, homebrew, etc..., it doesn't matter.

    My group and I have fallen in love with Eberron, and I think we intend to stay in it for the foreseeable future.

    I've fallen in love with the Pathfinder Campaign Setting, and its world of Golarion.

There you'll find a warrior savage enough to match any dragon, and in the end, they'll retain what the others won't. Their humanity."

    Published so far that I've had much exposure to Eberron.

    That I want to learn more about spelljammer and planescape.

    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...

    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.

    Just say "Planescape" like the rest of us; running a Planescape campaign entirely in Sigil is entirely feasible, not to mention infinitely enjoyable.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I think the original writing team on L5R were trying for a Glorantha-like level of awesomeness. They came close, but that original vision has been diluted over the decade and a half or so L5R has been around.

    Eberron, but I do have to give Golarion, Dark Sun and Rokugan runner-up positions.

    '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.

    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.

    Nonsense. How can lightning trains, halfling dinosaur riders, and magic robots not be popular?

    Anyways...Ebberon.

    By far Planescape, followed by Eberron and then Forgotten realms (more for the nice PrCs and the idea of the regional feats)

    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.

    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.

    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.
