How is that really different from not liking a DM's own personal setting?I would say the advantage for players is that, in what I would consider the ideal situation, they contribute a great deal to the setting: either through direct collaboration on the world as peers of the DM, or by letting the DM know what they want out of the world so that she can make sure it's in there.</blockquote>
