Seeing as the last poll was so successful seeing the top two winners, Greyhawk and Planescape (hey, look who's ahead again!), being given the lion's share of WotC product support since, this poll ought to really make a difference too. :erm:

I have never really considered PLANESCAPE to even be a real setting. The Planes are tacked on to ALL setting worlds, but even in the PLANESCAPE format the Planes never felt much like a setting of their own. Okay, it seems like a Monty Haul setting, if anything. The only reason I think that...

While the nostalgia factor has died down due to fewer older folks playing, and newer folks simply not having heard of Greyhawk much due to it being allowed to lie fallow, Greyhawk still has a following among fans, and a presence in WotC products to attract older players' cash(and because they do...
