Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mercurius" data-source="post: 5096853" data-attributes="member: 59082">Favorite RPG Setting(s): Talislanta, Shadow World, and Earthdawn. Talislanta is just brimming with creativity; Shadow World may be the greatest setting that a whole new generation of gamers has never heard of (a classic not considered to be a classic), and Earthdawn is what the 4ed "points of light" default setting should have been. Honorable mention to Shards of the Stone as the "greatest RPG setting that never was."Favorite D&D Setting(s): I can't say that one stands out above the others, and I really do like all of the big names in various ways, although don't think that any of them are "just right" but rather, "almost right." I suppose my favorites would be Planescape, the Scarred Lands, the Forgotten Realms, and Golarion.Favorite fantasy novel setting(s): Middle-earth (Tolkien), Earthsea (Le Guin), Malazan world (Erikson), Erna (C.S. Friedman).Favorite science fiction setting(s): Dune (Frank Herbert), Hyperion universe (Dan Simmons), Requiem for Homo Sapiens universe (David Zindell).Favorite fantasy setting of all time: The world of my novels-in-process. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/blush.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":blush:" title="Blush    :blush:" data-shortname=":blush:" /> Sorry, but its true--as a writer I've always thought that the way to go is to write (or create) what I would want to read (or explore). So I build my world with the idea of making it as beautiful and interesting and wondrous to me as I possibly can, but always with the sense that it is something I am discovering rather than creating.</blockquote>
