D&D General Best D&D Setting?

[overgeeked]

Those are cuisines, not individual foods.

What is the best single food?

Al pastor tacos on freshly made corn tortillas. The actual freshly done masa from nixtamalized corn, not from masa harina. Topped with onion, cilantro, pineapple, a squeeze of lime, and some salsa.

The second runner up, but close behind, would be carnitas tacos. Same as before only swap the meat and drop the pineapple.

I would go carne asada over carnitas, but yeah, those are probably both in my top five of all foods for sure.

A fried pork "veal" (thinly sliced pork tenderloin pan fried in bread crumbs) sandwich with homemade mustard relish and a dash of Tobasco.

Thin breaded cutlets are a staple of world cuisine for a reason. Good call.

The question is best food item, not general cuisine.

Not Mexican, not tacos, but tacos al pastor.

What's your take? What's the best food?

My own. But since I'm guessing you want official.... It's got to be probably Forgotten Realms from a generic standpoint.

I like Exandria, though my version is heavily modified. It’s the natural heir to Greyhawk and the Forgotten Realms. Kind of a polyglot D&D setting but with a more cohesive narrative. Plus it has really excellent source books.

I second this and here is why. Most players know the settings. They have read the books, especially if they are older players, which I assume they are because you are running 1st edition. This is like a classic setting, but one they may not know much about.

That said, if you are running 5e, and your players know Critical Role, then I would avoid it and choose Forgotten Realms. It has something for everyone and is great for the DM that wants to change up the scenery quite often.

Ravenloft (any domain is good for a great campaign)
Birthright
Dark Sun
Planescape

[see]

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)

So, I don't know all of those, but . . . I'd take 1e FR over Folio Greyhawk.

Almost everything I dislike about FR was added after the Old Gray Box. While with Folio Greyhawk, it's just so brief, in 32 pages.

Yeah, my preference is for lightly sketched, myself. I really like Praemal, the world where Ptolus is set. I've gotten years of campaign play out of maybe a dozen pages in the big book, most of it not taking place in Ptolus itself until recently.

Along those lines, I'm also partial the the campaign setting surrounding Manifest, as described in the 3E book Ghostwalk.
