Campaign Settings We Hate

[Tequila Sunrise]

Tell me about the settings you hate, or have a love/hate relationship with. Or, if you just have to be nice, tell me about the settings you like.

EDIT: Okay, I admit, I fail at being a geek. I forgot two (three? four?) settings, and misspelled the very first. (Though gray makes more sense than grey, phonetically speaking, so I stand by that spelling in general. ) Oh, and my poll options are horribly imprecise and insufficient.

So, carry on!

The choices are too extreme - I don't like Greyhawk, but I don't hate Greyhawk.
I don't like Forgotten Realms, but I don't hate Forgotten Realms.

It is not neutral - I don't like them, and would not want to run or play games set in them. But I don't hate them either.

The Auld Grump, there's 'bout a mile of windin' road between 'don't like' and 'hate'.

The choices are too extreme.

Agreed. There are a number of settings that I either don't care about, or that I'm not crazy about but don't hate.

In fact, I can't think of too many settings that I hate. I can usually plunder ideas from even the ones I'm least fond of.

 

[Haltherrion]

Mostly ambivalent about TSR settings except for Dark Sun, which I really don't like. The others I would happily play in but I'd find another group before playing Dark Sun again.

I found it somewhat casually put togther. ("Let's turn stereotypes on their head. Hey what can we do with hobbits, I know lets make them cannibals!"). And the aesthetics really do not appeal. (I just love equipping my heroic warrior with stone weapons, woohoo!)

 

[IronWolf]

I have liked Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance. Pretty ambivalent about the others - except for Spelljammer. I could just never wrap my head around that one and voted that one as hate it.

 

[Tequila Sunrise]

It's a tongue-in-cheek poll, so 'don't like' = hate and 'like' = love. It's about overreaction, and me imagining why so many people could 'hate' one setting or another.

What, no Eberron?

 

[The Ghost]

What, no Eberron?

I thought it was generally accepted that everyone hates Eberron.

Edit: For the record, the only setting that I never really liked was Spelljammer. Although, I do like Giffs - go figure.

 

[IronWolf]

I thought it was generally accepted that everyone hates Eberron.

Eberron was one of the campaign settings that I did not like initially - primarily because I don't grok warforged. Eventually though our group played an Eberron game and I began to at least appreciate the campaign setting. Still not a big warforged fan, but Eberron has grown on me.
