Looking for a good 4E campaign setting. Help, please.

So... no one's mentioned War of the Burning Sky yet?

Unless you're using the AP, WotBS's campaign setting is a bit weak. Very narrow.

Kenzer put out a 4E version of Kalamar not long after 4E first came out. The world is a good outline that leaves it up to the DM to "fill in the blanks" on the details. It's also mostly flavor/fluff with little crunch in it, so it is pretty playable in any edition of D&D, or any fantasy setting for that matter. I've used Kalamar in 2E, 3.0 and 3.5 so far and have had some of my more successful campaigns as a player & DM there.

You can probably find the Kalamar Atlas on eBay for a good price - it's a beautiful map of the world in hardcover. The 3E campaign setting books also come with poster-sized maps as well. (You can probably buy the 3E book & the Atlas if you wanted)

Thanks for everyone's responses.

I've boiled it down to 2 settings:

1) 4E Forgotten Realms (ie. post-Spellplague, 1479DR)

OR

2) 4E Taladas - after the events in the Taladas Chronicles trilogy

I haven't read through any more than the first module but assuming the modules are similar and detail areas and NPC's as thoroughly as the first one does, and given the Player's Guide and DM's guide, and all the supporting material here on ENW, then I would have to beg to differ.

Dragonlance was born on less.

You seemed to have ruled it out, but the defualt setting (Points of Light/Nentir Vale) is a simple, easy to use, out of the box setting.

4E Realms by design does not have the baggage of the old realms (unless you consider its creation of be such), and you get the swordmage and drow in the players guide.
