I don't know, I can certainly see Planescape upsetting Forgotten Realms. Planescape is pretty popular on these boards! (Didn't Planescape win [MENTION=1]Morrus[/MENTION]' poll a few months ago?)

Yeah, I think you folks are right - that Planescape will edge the Realms and then face Greyhawk in the finals. While the Realms might be more popular overall among all D&D players, this site is somewhat of an "elite niche." This also explains why Ravenloft is whipping Dragonlance.
Sorry for not including Aereth. There were a couple others I could have put in, but Aereth probably deserved a slot above some of those I did include. I also considered Freeport, Morningstar, and the Diamond Throne. I suppose that if I were to do it again I would have taken out the byes and slotted in four more setings.
As for the Hollow World, I considered it but thought that it should be part of Mystara - similar to Maztica. Why include Al-Qadim and Kara-Tur, then? Because they were originally conceived of separately from the Realms, whereas the Hollow World was designed as part of Mystara, just as Maztica was designed as part of the Realms.
[MENTION=1210]the Jester[/MENTION], maybe I'll do the next few rounds with longer periods of time - 5 days for Round 3 and a week each for the Semifinals and Finals.

Cheering Birthright on here, too!I would just love to see Birthright (perhaps the best setting that nobody's ever played) knock over Golarion!
P.S. And we actually played BR, a bit. It suffered (for us, at the time) from being based on 2e D&D, but really its main weakness was lack of really good advice and mechanisms to integrate the "domain level" play with "adventure level" play. A bit more of that and it could have been stellar, IMV.

As someone who's played both, it's kind of hard to choose.I would just love to see Birthright (perhaps the best setting that nobody's ever played) knock over Golarion!
But, I could convince my group to play in a dozen campaigns on Golarion before I could convince them to do one in Birthright. So I had to go with the one that does more than look good on a shelf.
Which isn't going to stop me from adding bits of Birthright into my Golarion
Cheers!
