I often look over other GMs ideas at these sites, but when it comes to the game, the world is my own (well, collectively it belongs to the group). I could no more use one of the on-line campaigns than I could use one of the published campaigns. I just have a basic need to create my own worlds :)

In the campaign I took over running one of the PC's got the whole dwarven pantheon for his cleric off a website. I have since run with it and it has worked out fine so far making the nonhuman deities a little more alien to the PCs as they are not so familiar as the Greyhawk pantheon set which is also used in the campaign.
 

I've been playing by post in a homebrew called "The Wold" I found online a couple of years ago.

It's been a great community. The founder started his homebrew with friends back in the 80s and they took it online in the late 90s as friends moved away so they could keep playing together. They recruit once in a while and now have between 80-100 players divided among 13 (I think) campaigns all set in various lands throughout the Wold. They're very meticulous, too, about making sure that all the activity works together and is accounted for in the Wold's history.

If you check it out, look for game 10 -- The Bloodpack. I play there as the ranger Anuk Greyhand.

less than 5% of people do use setting found on the Internet (although some of them are actually quite good, especially if you went to combine several of them into a unique one).

Only because I didn't know any decent ones existed, much less as many as you linked to in your first post. :eek:
 

Very good generic fantasy setting with lots of maps in CC2, history, pantheons, etc. is
the Breminor setting (www.breminor.com). It was very active around the release of 3E and then kind of tapered off. But there is a lot of information and detail available.
 

Homebrew, more or less. I tend to stick to something fairly generic. I'm not DM'ing ATM, so it's not relevant.

I've looked at some online homebrews, but haven't found anything I particularly care for. I have an idea for what I want, and it's kind of *out there*. :)

That's not to say that if I don't find a really imaginative, unique site I wouldn't consider using it.
