I'd even run variations on Xak Tsaroth, Thorbardin and the High Clerist Tower in Greyhawk and other homebrew settings. But when DL moved on I really fell out of love with it. I can't put my finger on any one real reason why, I just felt it became a bit of a mess with the new gaming system, the new metaplot direction, didn't like Dragons of Summer Flame and the setting itself somehow just wasn't grabbing me anymore. And I think the latter was due in part to new settings that were coming out like Planescape and Dark Sun and all the great classic Greyhawk adventures kept pulling campaigns back to that setting to use as a "home base".As for the FR, I like that they're gearing it towards new players and the fluff so far doesn't offend me so if I had to choose I would pick the Realms over DL. That said, I've never felt any burning desire to move over there. I find their villains to be lackluster, few adventures to be memorable, the PCs feel they are more like cogs in a much, much larger machine and even though they've FF the setting in order to distance itself from the mountains of published Realms material before it... I'm still hesitant to touch it because I know so little of it's background!</blockquote>
