D&D 5E What is Your Favorite WotC 5E Setting Book, and Why?

[akr71]

I voted for Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft. I recently purchased the Beadle & Grimm's boxed set and have been devouring it in advance of a little Hallowe'en sidequest. While I may never run a long campaign there, I can certainly see myself getting a lot of use out of it.

I do own Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden also & it could feature heavily in our next campaign also.

I f'n love eberron, that's why

Eberron.

Though it's not a hard choice - the only other one I have is Ravenloft, and I really didn't like that one.

I was going to say LMoPhandelvar, but some may not consider that a setting. I have gotten a lot of mileage from that and the Essentials box.

I think you could consider Phandelver a micro setting

none yet, everything has a little of what I want but never all of it

I went with Ravenloft, because that's been a favorite campaign setting of mine for a long time, and I love what they did with the setting (okay, so I wish there was still a proper map of all the domains in relation to each other...).

But Theros is a lovely setting book, one that manages to feel both like D&D and like a Greco-Roman fantasy setting.

 

[Lidgar]

None of the above? Ouch.

I thnik theros did some really good work, not only presenting a greek setting, but with thesupernatural gifts, piety system and mythic monsters. It layed a lot of groundwork and gave us a lot to strip for parts in non theros games...

Most of the adventure books prevent "micro settings", which is why I included "adventure books" as an option (though most of them are over locations in the Forgotten Realms).
