Popular d20 Fantasy Campaigns -- UPDATED -- What's missing now?

Fast Learner

First Post
I'm putting together a poll about d20 campaign settingst but it's not a poll about best or worst, I promise! Instead it's a poll about how DMs and players perceive the settings, from things like whether the setting is high or low magic to whether it would be considered high fantasy or dark fantasy.

In order to do so I'm putting together a list of d20 Fantasy Campaign Settings. I'm lookng for what I'm missing or what I may have misattributed. My criteria are that they be fantasy (Dragonstar, for example, is out, even though it's still partly fantasy because it's so heavily sci-fi), that they are largely compatible with D&D (so Everquest is out because it's really almost completely different in terms of mechanics), and that they're reasonably popular (people's homebrews aren't what I'm looking for). They don't have to have setting books, per se, as long as the setting is clear (Freeport is a good example).

So... what am I missing and what have I misunderstood?

If you count Freeport, you gotta count Bluffside.

Second World is a fantasy/modern crossover.
Dragonstar is a fantasy/space opera crossover.
You're missing Diomin

Since you said it's a quasi-poll, I like Dragonlance.

It's high-fantasy with a dark twist. It's melodramatic and that's fantasy at its best! DL has still the fundamentals of fantasy; it's like LOTR but in a modern D&D suit.
It has very strong lmiterature but it's primary designed as a game world.

Looking forward to it.

I sort of consider Necromancer Games to have their own world...but that's just me. :) Otherwise nice comprehensive list you have there.
 

Ok, I'll add Bluffside. Is "Swashbuckling Adventures" another name for 7th Sea?

Does Necromancer Games effective "world" have a name?

Not really. But they do have their own gods, and cities. But far as I know there are no plans to have the world mapped out or have a sourcebook detailing it.
 



FFE has a couple settings

Green Races - it's like a weird version of each, apparently (I only have a couple of the modules for it, not the main book). Elarra, I think the world is called.

Dungeon World

The only information we have is from Monte's Story Hour and the few tidbits in a few of his products. I'm not sure I would consider it enough info to make valid judgements on it.
