How many settings do you own (vs how many you actually use)?

Re: Boycott Eberron

I'll tell you which one I won't be buying, Eberron.

Why?

Just a personal protest due to 3.5 messing up my entire collection of d20 books that I spent a lot of cash on.

I suggest the rest of you who feel like me let your voices be heard at the cash register as well.

Buy Arcana Unearthed to play in the world of the Diamond Throne instead since Monte Cook spoke up publicly against the 3.5 fiasco. He seems to truly understand how us gamers who invested a lot of time and money into 3.0 feel about it.

Huh? What does Eberron have to do with 3.5? It's not as if they changed to 3.5 just so they could use Eberron. I fail to see how the two are connected. In which case, you're directing your anger at someone who has NOTHING to do with what you're angry about for no reason. If you want to protest 3.5, how about boycotting the 3.5 books, themselves, rather than trying to hurt a fellow gamer who won a 1-in-a-110,000 chance to publish his own setting?

As for "us gamers", speaking as a gamer, I'm THRILLED with 3.5. If you're not, then that's your right. But personally I love the new books, and most of the changes.

and what about those of us who think that AU just isnt that great? Its totally useless for anything but diamond throne, and doesnt work with a whole stack of books i've bought already. At least 3.5 is still easily compatible.

Not so sure it only works with Diamond Throne - at least not any more than D&D only works with Greyhawk. Personally, I think AU will work a lot better than plain D&D with my vaguely Spielburg-inspired setting (which is still in the stage of "Hey, wouldn't a vaguely Spielburg-inspired setting be neat?").

 

[Epametheus]

Forgotten Realms, Wheel of Time, and Call of Cthulhu. None of them are actually in use, at the moment.

 

[Nightfall]

I also have Relics & Rituals and Creature Catalog for Shattered Lands, but none of the actual setting stuff.

What is with you people!? I mean come on it's not like it's that hard? I mean would you FR people liked it if I called Eliminster Muster El? Or Greyhawk people if I called Zagyg Zangy? I'm just asking for a little respect. (Note to all I'm kidding.)

 

[Barendd Nobeard]

So many settings, so little time....

Not to hijack but:

That any good? I've never seen it on the shelves.

It's great. I'm running an online game (called ...Poor Bastards ) that's sort of hit a slump and needs a shot in the arm. If you (or Tsyr or Brother Shatterstone) wants to join in, let me know.

Now, to get this back on topic. Given the broad meanings of "setting" already used, I own:

Greyhawk (LGG)
Forgotten Realms (all 3rd ed. books)
Oriental Adventures (just main book)
Kingdoms of Kalamar (just main book + Atlas)
Ravenloft (just main book + V.R.'s Arsenal vol. 1)
Star Wars d20 (just main book + "Living Force" book)
Call of Cthulhu d20 (every item published--all 4 of them!)
Deadlands d20
d20 Modern (main book + Ultramodern Firearms)
Weird Wars (every book in the line---7 total)
The End d20 (every book (3) and pdf (1) in the d20 line)
Scarred Lands (CC I, CC II, R+R, & Ghelspad Gazetteer)

What do I use? The End for my online game, Forgotten Realms for my Savage Species/City of the Spider Queen game, LGG for Living Greyhawk and home games, and, uh, that's about it, except for one-shots (Chicago Gamedays, GenCon, etc), where I might play Call of Cthulhu or d20 Modern--if Synnibar isn't available.

What? I don't see anything misspelled or anything like that in my post...

 

[Nightfall]

Shattered Lands. They are Scarred Lands. It's like me calling Thay They

 

[Agamon]

Greyhawk
Forgotten Realms
Kingdoms of Kalamar
Everquest
Urban Arcana (d20 Modern)
Freedom City (Mutants and Masterminds)

I play in Living Greyhawk, and I'm considering starting a Living Kingdoms of Kalamar game.

Haven't really used EQ or UrbArc. I'm playing one, and running one, MnM game, but neither use FC, a kick butt setting, btw.

 

[HellHound]

Don't know how many I own... quite likely most of them.

But what I run:

Oathbound (Bastion Press - level 18 campaign)
Arcanis (Paradigm Concepts - level 4 campaign)
Rokugan / DragonStar crossover (level 6 campaign)
