Comprehensive Lists of All D&D Settings

The world of the Scarred Lands setting is called Scarn.

It should be noted that Eberron drow are "different" than standard D&D drow (they and Forgotten Realms have a reduced LA drow).
While I'm not entirely certain about Eberron, I'm 90% sure that this is wrong. The FR material I have gives drow a LA of +2, and I have not yet heard that the Eberron drow have an LA of +1.

Lesser Drow from Players Guide to Faerun pg 191.

Lesser versions of powerful races apply negative levels and a system that is not in the core books, nor does it match the system portrayed in Savage Species or the Savage Progression articles on the WotC site. Regardless, it is a decided variant of the core rules.


Eberron drow do not worship the spider goddess, they worship the scorpian.

They are not a subteranean race, but live in jungles.

I have heard, but not confirmed, that there is a +1 LA Eberrron drow presented in a published adventure.

My point was that all of these changes (and those in most of the settings listed) are indeed "legal", but the OP wanted to define "D&D" setttings as only those that follow the core rules - that is they can be dropped onto the core rules with only cities, lands, and the like being described by the setting rules.

Although some add-ons are allowable (like AP) - but that seems to be an arbitrary condidtion.
 

OK, I think I can convince myself I am mentally healthy for having only 23 of the settings in your list.

Is Green Ronin/Game Mechanics City Quarter books in the list?

Are you sure you want to do cities?

Your missing a lot. Just from Necromancer Games your missing City State of the Invincible Overlord. Plus several of their modules are cities, even several cities. Lost City of Barakus is detailed enough to be its own setting.

I suggest you don't do cities. Stop now.
 

I just noticed that Manifest/Ghostwalk isn't on the list. I'd suspect that it counts as a limited setting, though, for the rules changes.

[sblock]I know about the lesser drow variant in the Players' Guide, but that isn't the assumed default for FR - that's still the drow from the MM/FRCS.
As for Eberron, that's simply a different culture of drow, which I don't think is too important to mention, given that every core race has a different culture than normal on Eberron.
The +1 LA drow might be the Umbragen that appeared in a Dragon magazine, but I don't have a number handy. Those would be closer to a sub-sub-race, however, rather than being the default drow for the setting. Other than the umbragen, I haven't heard about any other drow variants (excluding stuff like the scorrow).[/sblock]

Nit: it's "Toril", not "Torril".
Nit: And even that is only a short form for "Abeir-Toril".

But according to your explanation you should include "Faerûn" instead of Abeir-Toril, because many continents of Toril are not described at all.
