[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7468159, member: 6670153"] With all the talk of Settings lately I've been looking for settings from D&D's past, and in doing so it dawned on me that we really need to break them down into categories to really understand what we are talking about. The full setting for D&D Settings of D&D are Planescape, Spelljammer, Ravenloft, The Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Greyhawk, Darksun, Birthright, Mystara/Known World, Eberron (3e), Nentir Vale/Nerath (4e) and now Ravnika in 5e. Minisettings are settings are basically small settings, that are more areas intended to be dropped into other worlds, and/or are too small to support a full Campaign Guide of a reasonable size. Examples of thus are Ghost walk, Thunder Rift, the Planeshift articles, Gloomwrought (The city of Gloomwrought got absorbed by both FR and NV) and so on. Subsettings are like Al Qadim, Maztica, Arcane Age, and Kara Tur in the Forgotten Realms, Blackmoor for Mystara (or was it Greyhawk), areas that are big enough to be full Settings in their own right, but are techniquely apart of another setting. Exsettings are settings that used to be official parts of the D&D universe, like Kingdoms of Kalamar, Lankhar, and Rokadan, but we're owned by other companies which went their own way. These the D&D universe should try and forget even existed, for legal reasons. I just thought I'd bring some order to the discussion because Thunder Rift and Ghostwalk shouldn't really be considered in the same category as FR, DL, DS, PS, SJ, RL, Eb, NV, KW, GH, BR, Rav.
