D&D General Official Campaign Setting Roll Call

[The Glen]

Played so long I've ran in most campaign settings, but Mystara is my default. Primarily the Known World and Serpent Peninsula, but have run in the Hollow World, Blackmoor and Savage Coast.

I recall playing Dark Sun once back in 2e days. I remember the DM getting excited giving me a bone sword after my stone sword broke and me thinking, "this sucks."

I've never played it, so pardon this if it's wrong, but isn't part of the draw to Dark Sun that it sucks? The world sucks. Nothing is good there. That seems to me to be part of why people like playing there. (Also Ravenloft to an extent)

I know it’s part of FR, but Al-Qadim was so big, it kind of feels like it should it’s own line. But then, I was/am a big fan of that setting.

I remember that the setting is build on suffering and life is hard. Casters can suck the life out of plants to boost their spells and such. There is no metal in large amounts and halflings are cannibals, so that makes it harder to get along. If you cannot get along with cute, little, halflings- who can you trust

Didn't the gods lose the war against the primordials?

(Also, anyone else notice that settings like making halflings evil/worse than evil? Eberron has the halfling mafia in Sharn, Dark Sun has cannibal halflings, and Dragonlance has the kender, which seem universally hated)

I started playing D&D during 3.5, so those games were in Grayhawk by default, until Eberron came out, at which point that became my group’s go-to. Then 4e came out and I played several Nentir Vale games before eventually DMing it myself. When Dark Sun came out for 4e I was really excited to try it, and eventually got the chance to in college. A huge blizzard ended up knocking out a lot of folks’ power and getting classes cancelled for two weeks, but the on-campus housing where I was living at the time had its own generator, so we had two weeks of playing D&D every day, alternating between playing Dark Sun, DMed by a friend of mine and 4e Forgotten Realms, DMed by me. Then the 5e playtest happened and I ran Keep on the Borderlands and Isle of Dread (not sure what setting those are each considered.) And with 5e, I’ve run various Sword Coast stuff, Ravenloft by way of Curse of Strahd, and my own setting which is kind of a heavily modified take on Nentir Vale.

 

[Bitbrain]

I've done a campaign in Greyhawk, a few in Ravenloft, played once in Dragonlance, a few trips to Spelljammer, numerous planar jaunts, Mystara in the very beginning, and countless campaigns in Forgotten Realms .Dark Sun I ran and played in back in 2e. I actually found my character sheet from when I was a player (and yes, my handwriting was and is terrible):

Of the ones I haven't played, I would love to run a Birthright campaign one day, and as I read through Theros I'm really digging the Greco-Roman Gods-heavy vibe.

At least your handwriting is recognizable as such.

I’ve been told on numerous occasions that my handwriting looks more like (and this a direct quote from my best friend) “an ink pen puked all over the page. It’s unreadable unless you write like a computer in all caps”.

 

[Thanriyon]

Played in a 30 year campaign in Greyhawk.
DM'd Planescape, SpellJammer, and a FR campaign set in Mulhorand.
More recently, with AL i've been playing and DM'g FR Sword Coast.

 

[Lanefan]

I ran Keep on the Borderlands and Isle of Dread (not sure what setting those are each considered.)

I'm fairly sure KotB is Greyhawk. I'm ironclad sure Isle of Dread is pre-Mystara Mystara.
