[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5590981, member: 82106"] Personally I have no interest in either DL or GH though. I mean I ran some stuff in GH way back in the early 80's when it first came out. Nothing WRONG with it, but honestly it just isn't that different from FR in overall tone. They are both generic kitchen sink settings. (Yes, I know there are people that will kick and scream about that characterization, but effectively anything that will not be out of place in FR won't be out of place in GH either, they differ slightly in canon but who cares?). DL just never pushed any of my buttons. It also feels rather tapped out. I won't quite say it is in the same category with FR/GH, but it is still rather generic. Really, I think what I'd like to see more than anything else would be one of the more culture-specific settings like Kara-Tur, Maztica, Al Qadim, etc. Yes, they eventually BECAME tied to various larger settings, but none of them started out that way and none of them is really all that tied to FR etc. (and in fact I think all three of the ones I mentioned have been migrated from one setting to another at least once in its lifetime).
