[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 4527046, member: 2012"] Okay, besides Dark Sun, I'd have to say I've gotten the most use out of the Karameikos boxed set. I've even built it into World of Kulan. That box is a whole lot of fun for any setting. The other Mystara boxed sets didn't really grab me, however. I do highly recommend the pre-2e Known World boxed sets if you can find them. From the Ashes is one of my favorite 2e boxed sets. I like that version of Greyhawk a lot. However, I still wish I hadn't gotten rid of my City of Greyhawk boxed set. That was an awesome reference. The Planescape boxes were great reads but they took up a lot of room. You really only need the first one to run a Planescape campaign, IMO. The sourcebooks for Planescae are better, especially On Hallowed Ground and any of the books related to Sigil. City of Splendors is one oft he best city settings I've ever seen.
