D&D General Best D&D Setting?

[jdrakeh]

I'm looking to run a D&D-alike in the new year and want to run it in one of the settings on the poll. Which do you think would be my best choice?

Well, since the forum software failed to register the poll options I entered. here's the list as suggested by another poster:

Aerth (DCC #35 box set)
Forgotten Realms (AD&D 1e box set)
Greyhawk (AD&D 1e folio)
Kingdoms of Kalamar (AD&D 2e box set)
Kingdoms of Kalamar (D&D 3x hardcover + Atlas)

I...think you forgot to add the poll

Ugh. I added it. The forum software just didn't post it. Let me try to edit it in. [Edit: I guess that's not possible. FML.]

Option 3.

Pick one that matches your campaign. High magic - Forgotten Realms. Normal magic - Greyhawk. Survival is hard - Dark Sun. Pirates - go with something like Freeport. Space based - Spelljammer or borrow the Starfinder setting from Paizo.

Karameikos (Mystara)

The best D&D setting is Eberron. Run it.

If you know the lore and like generic sandbox its Forgotten Realms.

However Forge of the Artificer+Eberron book can be used for a magi tech pulp noir type game in Sharn. Its a bit more complicated however and may not be to your taste.

Yeah, it really depends on what you're trying to do. This is like asking what's the best food.
