[QUOTE="Laurefindel, post: 7902290, member: 67296"] I played a few games in various settings that were so short that I can't say I have experienced, but the main ones are the following Greyhawk: My first character and campaign ever when I was 15, so it holds a special place for me. That was my first and last game in that world however; GH lost to "The North" box set when I started DMing, so FR it was. Honorable mentions The Black Eye and Lone Wolf books (and later on, Birthright) which I never played but plundered for my homebrewed settings. Forgotten Realms was my setting-of-choice for a long time, and still is to this day (although Eberron is growing on me). Unlike what seems to be everyone here, I love the Realms, love its plasticity, love many elements that others find boring. There are a lot of very neat things in FR's setting that many players overlook or take for granted. Too bad TSR/WotC feel they need to blow-it-up every time there is an edition change (except for 2e AD&D to 3.0. That transition was nice and smooth). Planescape. Why? Mostly because of Tony DiTerlizzi, and the pretension of that setting being for "advance players". I loved to design game for planescape, create NPCs, allow more surreal elements without feeling like ruining the medieval-fantasy genre. Eberron. It took me a while to appreciate the magic-technological revolution feel, but I love it now. [/QUOTE]
