I think that, as a D&D setting, it just has everything coming together out exceedinly well - nobility is divine blood and translates into real powers, the elves have very good reasons to keep the land 'natural' and pristine, the fallen dark god's blood is still a curse upon the earth and his nightmares border on reality, churches get power from faithful and monarchs from subjects, politics are heavily ingrained in the setting... I don't like that its cultures are based too strongly on real-world cultures, but I can live with that.Another favotire is Midnight - an excellent setting. I don't really like the rules, though, or the overly-oppressive gameplay expected. I was pleasantly surprised with the depth of the Diamond Throne setting, some interesting play on history and races there. I also like the concept behind Oathbound. I like Blue Roses's setting, Aldis, even though everyone else seems to hate it.The traditional fantasy settigns (FR, Greyhawk, Mystara) do little to me, they are just too bland (although Greyhawk I consider far better than FR, which is too much of a patch-job) - but they work well as a generic backdrop. I liked planescape's attempt at bringing some philosophical depth to the setting, but detested the rest of it. I likewise detested Spelljammer, even more. I find Dark Sun tried too hard to be different, although it has some good ideas. I find Eberron to smack too much of modernity for me. I likewise don't like other modern or sci-fi settings, like Star Wars or ones joining fantasy and modernity like Dragonstar.Of non-d20, I very much like ars magica's setting, Mythic Europe, especially in its current (fifth edition) incarnation. But a big part of that is probably just because I like ars magica. I also like Nobilis' setting, a very interesting idea I'd like to explore some day.</blockquote>
