Campaign Setting

[Papa-DRB]

There is a thread in the Pathfinder Forum asking if you would be using the Golarion campaign setting, and it got me thinking. I use it, but that is because it is the default setting that the Pathfinder Adventure Paths take place, and my guys tend to be the kick-in-the-door, kill-the-monster, take-its-stuff group.

So I was wondering, for your campaign setting...

1. I created my homebrew 1/5/10/20 years ago and we love it.
2. I use a published setting (Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Golarion, Dark Sun, Planescape, etc).
3. Whatever the current module / AP is written for (that is my vote!)
4. Something else, please explain.

I put Other in that while I tend to Homebrew, it isn't something we stick with. I make each setting tailored that campaign's story and themes, so once that game is done so is the setting. That also being said if a campaign fit with a setting that is out, or part of a setting, say Sigil for instance we will use that.

2. I use a published setting (Forgotten Realms).
I've been running in the FR since the Grey Box, through 2E to 3.5 and now with the 4e move, I have moved my campaign from the Gray Vale to the Moonshae Isles.

Other. I GM SWSE more often than anything else, and I usually run games either in time periods where there's not much canon (like a few centuries after the KotOR games, prior to the Old Republic MMO being announced for that timeframe) or infinities games. But it's still the Star Wars universe. I did the same thing with an Eberron PBP game once; I set things in a low-magic, relatively high tech, 'Eberron a thousand years after an apocolyptic event' setting.

I run my games on a heavily tweaked Mystara. So while I chose "Published" it is not the official Mystara the hardcore fans would recognize.

I use Eberron. I merrily tweak anything I like, and flout canon with wild abandon, but the campaign is Eberron at its core.

I use a published setting. I ran a Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign and the AP was Age of Worms. Before that, I used FR and mods customized for that.

Right now, I'm writing my own AP for my 2nd KoK campaign, but my next campaign setting will be Golarion. Whether I use published mods or write my own is kind of up in the air right now.

Happy Gaming!

Homebrew for me. I find that I just enjoy running a campaign more if I get to create everything from the ground up. I've tried to run published settings, but I just quickly get bored with them for some odd reason.

On your homebrew, do you change them or continue to develop the one you have?

Published.

I've done Greyhawk, Ravenloft, Oathbound, and a shared GM one which is Ptolus/Freeport/Postapocalyptic Greyhawk on its way to turning into Eberron.
