Its familiar and more accessible to most players more than other settings. Otherwise, I've taken more towards running modern games set on Earth. I can say that in all the years I've been playing, and another DM has run their homebrew campaign setting, I never found them very fun. It always seemed that they were always trying to tell their story, and we were just along for the ride, and nothing ever struck me as being all that unique. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm this great DM or that I could create my own setting better than someone else, trust me I'm not, and that's exactly why I don't bother. At this point, campaign settings don't even interest me anymore regardless of if it's a homebrew, WotC or 3PP. I just prefer a good adventure now. Every time I see a Kickstarter or a 3PP releasing a new setting, I think to myself that sounds pretty cool, until I regain my senses after 10 seconds and realize why waste my money when I know I'll never read let alone play it. I wish WotC had given the Nentir Vale the due it deserved; I really liked the "Points of Light" concept.  I liked that it was pretty stripped down but I always thought that some short supplements detailing areas that weren't adventures would have been nice to see.</blockquote>
