Planescape.  Heres why:  3e makes is really easy to toss out the "New Cosmology" (which is really the old one but everything is debatable when you start talking about the planes.)The place is big.  There is lots of room.  There is a supplement for everything.  It may not be the best version of the information (I mean sheesh look at the map of darkhold...)Big plots happen everywhere and all the time, more than the really powerful NPCs can handle.  The history is rich but in a way that lets you slip in your own stories when you want to.  Its amazingly versitile.  I have never found a setting that has so much variation that you can put almost any published module or monster in it with little or no modification:Iron Kingdoms?  There is Lantan and the smiths of Gond.   Keep on the Borderlands?  There is the Borderkingdoms.  Banewarrens?  Stick it in the east.  Freeport?  The pirate Isles and the sea south of Chult.  Abysthor?  Tell me you cant replace Thyr and Muir with Tyr and Helm?  Hollowfaust?  Try the Smoking mountains of Unther. Burok Torn?  Pick a mountain range in the southeast...If somthin don fit, put iton the planes!  Plenty of room in dem der outlands!Conversely the worst Campaign setting is a tossup.Its either-Dragonlance just cause the interesting part is very stuffy for a campaign world and whats bigger than saving the world.  Talk about outshining the PCs!  Sheesh!  Great story though...  -or-Middle 2E Forgotten Realms (faerun only) right after the time of troubles.  God, talk about a bad marketing decision...  Even Ed Greenwood agrees...Aaron.</blockquote>
