[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 7899760, member: 52734"] The other threads discussing the new Wildemon5e book have me wondering - what “official” campaigns have you played in, been influenced and/or run for D&D. My big ones have been Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Dark Sun, and Spelljammer - for actually running games. Greyhawk has been the biggest influence as it was the first campaign set I had access to (discounting Mystara from the Expert book). I used both Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms to design my own campaign world (Amberos). I ran a short-lived Dark Sun game, but I’ve been deeply interested in that world for years. As for Spelljammer, I was enthralled with and straight-away used it when I got it and have kept it as the primary means of travel to the outer planes in place of Astral travel. I’ve played I6 - Ravenloft many times, but never used the Domains of Dread setting, though I certainly like to read through the campaign book/boxed set (pre-Conjuction). I have had at one time or another all the various other campaign worlds and may have used an element or two from them, but never the world as a whole. Kara-Tur was especially disappointing (as was Maztica) as those sourcebooks came across as very dry reading that was a little too close to their historical counterparts. Al-Qadim had similar issues, but I did participate in a campaign that started in Zakahara, using one of the adventure box sets. Its looking like the next campaign I do will be set in Eberron, so I have been reading up on it. It’s funny, as back in 3E I was quite opposed to the steampunk style of the world, but I’ve grown to like it. [/QUOTE]
