D&D General Favorite Iconic D&D Metropolis

[Wofano Wotanto]

If it's big enough to be considered a metropolis, the Rock of Bral from 2e Spelljammer, hands down. If you're going to quibble over it just being a mid-sized spaceport city, then Sigil as a distant second.

 

[Wofano Wotanto]

Too few choices. Definitely need to add Sigil, Baldurs Gate, Neverwinter, and maybe Menzoberranzan. Plus a few wild cards like the City of Brass.

Nah, leave it as is. It'll be hilarious when over half the votes are in the "Other" category. Almost there now.

City of Greyhawk. Where it all began.

I picked Waterdeep, but like smaller towns over cities.

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

As much as I want to say the Free City of Greyhawk, it's Waterdeep. A city I've run so many games in that I can vividly see and smell it.

Now, if the question was "Favorite Iconic D&D Village," that's going to be Solace or Hommlet.

Sigil, Baldur's Gate and Theshold

 

[Cordwainer Fish]

Stoink, because I like saying 'Stoink'.

 

[Retreater]

I'm just now digging into Eberron and we're playing in Sharn. So much going on there.

 

[TwoSix]

Definitely Sigil.

I mainly was curious about whether people prefer Greyhawk or Waterdeep, but threw in a couple others. I think Sigil is a whole (let alone City of Brass) would be better in a different category, as "non-terrestrial."

Also, Neverwinter isn't a "metropolis" - or at least not nearly on the same scale.
