Popular Campaign Settings

[Crysmalon]

Wilderlands of High Fantasy

It's probably equal in my book with:
- IRon Kingdoms
- Planescape

I voted other and went with Middle-earth. Classic.

I voted "Other 3rd Party Setting". My favorite published D&D setting is Dave Arneson's Blackmoor. I love the fact that in Blackmoor mankind is huddled in scattered villages, on the brink of disaster. The very land is dark and eerie. There are no mighty kingdoms or vast city-states. Its small habitations are hewn out of the ever-encroaching wilderness. The world of Blackmoor is even less populated than the sparsely-populated Wilderlands. The largest city is Maus, with a population of a mere 18,800! The "city" of Blackmoor itself has a mere 5,400 inhabitants. Existence is precarious in this frontier land, with rumors of invasion and realities of magic and monsters threatening to overwhelm human civilization. A glance at the Blackmoor map will reveal that Blackmoor is a very wet, marshy land crisscrossed by many rivers and channels. D&D doesn't get any better than this. One can tell that Blackmoor is a real, living campaign. It wasn't designed and slapped together in a few months. This world has been chugging along for well over 30 years.

Mystra will always have a warm place in my heart.
had some great games in Galantri and Norwold not to mention the orginal Isle of Dread

others
Dark Sun
Spelljammer

while Planescape & Scarred Lands still has the strongest impact on the Homebrew worlds that I use most often

 

[TerraDave]

I think I screwed up (insert noise of shocked spectators at the mere possibility).

But it worked out okay. I voted "Third-Party" because far and away my favourite campaign setting is MINE. But it's not a PUBLISHED campaign setting, is it?

No screwup. The word published did not appear in the question.

My favourite is in my sig.

It would be interesting to see a follow up poll with more choices.

And one more thing

I am very surprised at how little love Eberon is getting...

I am mildly surprised at the stong lead of the Realms, but only midly, given the huge number of paid man hours that has went into them over the last 15+ years.

Dragonlance, a fluky front runner, is also surprising with its low number of votes, but not nearly as surprising as Eberon.

I voted 'other'. It was a tough call, but if I had to pick just one it would probably be Birthright.

what do gundarks have to do with Ravenloft? they're a predatory animal from the Star Wars universe.

I was wondering about that.
