What settings do you love?

[Nightdawn]

I've decided to run a game again, and I'm currently settling on which setting I want to use while I send to get my books shipped up here. I remember particularly loving the Dawnforge setting from I think it was Fantasy Flight Games(it's been awhile since I cracked the books). Does anybody have any suggestions for good settings though? I'm definitely open to them.

Scarred Lands!

You know you want to! If you need more help, ask.

Dawnforge is FFG

I really like Eberron. I think it is my favorite of the settings still being published. My ultimate love though is Thieves' World.

 

[Nightfall]

Yeah Thieves World turned out very well done.

But it's still not quite Scarred Lands!

 

[Nightdawn]

OK, unless you can articulate WHY I should go for Scarred Lands you're really not contributing anything and just postwhoring.

Isn't Thieves' World the Fafrd and the Grey Mouser world?

And what do you like about Eberron?

 

[Ero Gaki]

The Forgotten Realms are my favorite.

You're probably familiar with Forgotten Realms already, but just in case you're not--there's always Forgotten Realms.

It's my personal favorite.

Edit: Beat me to to it.

Run a Planescape campaign! That way you can basically run whatever setting you want

I'm familiar with FR, but I've never really understood the love for it. What's great about it?

In order of discovery, and naming only those about which I still feel positive (oh Dragonlance, how dull you seem from my present vantage):

Spelljammer. I like the science fantasy, Age of Sail vibe - tooling around in a wholly unrealistic version of outer space having wild adventures.

Planescape. I'm really attracted to the premise that people on the Outer Planes fight more over ideas and beliefs than they do over land or gold. That, plus the out-there locations that you can visit. My ideal Planescape campaign would play like a more serious, philosophical version of Labyrinth or Mirrormask.

Eberron. Just fantastic. Pulp adventure, noir intrigue, fresh and worthwhile takes on standard D&D tropes like races and classes - plus, as an added bonus to me, plausible and interesting religions. Oh, also airships!

Well, that's D&D settings only, of course.
