Favorite Third-Party Settings

[Remathilis]

I like Rokugan, Kalamar, and the Aerth (DCC 35).

Scarred Lands is nice too, put me down for that as well.

Oathbound - High powered High Fantasy High Options D&D

Scarred Lands - Post divine apocalypse with lots of Chaos D&D

Twilight of Atlantis - Good little background setting of Greek and Egyptian Myth D&D

Nyambe - Africa D&D

Valus - Gritty D&D

I have but have not really looked at Neiyar (jungle), Diamond Throne (AU giant ruled lands), Wheel of Time (eponymous and by WotC), Argonauts (Greek myth adaptation of D&D stuff), Testament (Biblical D&D), Dog Soul publishing settings (Earth Myth settings), and Echoes of Heaven (Divine war)

Loving me some Kalamar. Especially breaded and deep fried, ohhh yeah.

And the campaign setting put out by Kenzer & Co.'s pretty damn sweet too.

The Black Company by Green Ronin. New free-form-ish magic system, and a really awesome method of streamlining mass combat. Simple, easy to follow, allows PCs to influence mass combats without making them overpowered...it blew my mind and I don't even play 3.5e.

And another...

AND, I will add a good word for Testament from Green Ronin. One of the best game related books I have had the pleasure to read and pilfer.

 

[Green Goblin]

Another really good one:

Dark Legacies from Red Spire Press. Link:Red Spire Press.
Grim and gritty, very, very nice artwork and the kind of tweaked d20-system that i like.

Seems not to have such a big following, what I really don't understand. Did I mention the Artwork? The whole story is awsome and...

• Warlords of the Accordlands
• Scarred Lands

[Edit: Re-read the OP's post and removed Wilderlands. Wilderlands isn't really "different" -- it's fairly generic fantasy, being a re-issue of the old Judge's Guild AD&D piecemeal setting of the same name.]

Dragonstar
Dawnforge
Iron Kingdom
Arcana Evolved

While not a game setting the Mythic Races book has some nice ideas...

Yay! More SL love! Thanks guys!

It was the first D&D 3x setting that I heavily bought into. I think that I purchased every book up to the Divine & Defeated within a day of its release. After that, when the editing seemed to drop off, so did my purchases, but I still love the setting.
