D&D 4E Default setting for 4E?

[Wombat]

D&D is so generic in its feel, it shouldn't have a default setting.

Let vanilla be truly vanilla!

Unless intrinsically tied to the game system, default settings are bad, mmkay?

My opinion is that Greyhawk should be the basic setting because it is the simplest of the settings

I voted for the Realms, because that's the setting that has always been D&D to me. I came into the hobby in 92, and after a formative year in Mystara, I discovered FR. Fell in love with it straight off the bat, and it's been my favourite ever since.

Also, I think it helps to have a default setting that will actually see some support from the publisher, but doesn't come with as many tweaks to the base game as Eberron (although I do like Eberron).

I voted for a new campaign from the ground up that reflects whatever rules and aspects the new game includes. So I'm in the same boat as Hussar on this.

 

[Ogrork the Mighty]

I think it should be Greyhawk, but I also think Greyhawk should be supported.

 

[Masquerade]

I would rather not see a default setting in the core books. If there must be one, Eberron, IMHO, would be the best choice. Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms are simply not as inspiring to my generation of gamers as they were to the one before us.

I'd vote for Karamekios(sp?)/Mystara. The simple bits (what amounts to a stripped-down Karamekios) could be presented in the core books, with Mystara being its own book for those who wanted to delve deeper into the setting.

Now, with that said; el remmen mentioned "Known World". Is that what was first presented in "Isle of Dread" (1e), that later grew up into Karamekios and then Mystara? If so, there could be 3 stages of complexity to the setting...

Voted for Grehawk here too ... what can I say? I just like it better than anywhere else.
