The Best & Worst of 3rd Edition: WotC Settings (Realms, Ebberon...) (Winners Anc.)

[Masquerade]

Although I don't care much for the Forgotten Realms in general (nothing personal, Realms fans), Magic of Faerun is one of my favorite books from 3e. The quality of the art and volume of material presented made this a definite "I liked."

TerraDave,
would you include a:

my hat of d02 knows no limits

option on the polls please for me. i should know i bought everything that came out until i couldn't take it anymore.
for me, as more and more crap was released a became less and less happy.

Being able to vote "did NOT LIKE" on everything wasn't good enough?

I will consider it for the next round.

I own nearly all of the Eberron books and a great deal of the FR ones. And Dragonlance, but I only got that because our DM was running there and I had to have it...

Anyways, the ECS really rocked my world. And Sharn: City of Towers was possibly my happiest Eberron (and possibly D&D) purchase to date. Not only did it include things like religious and secular holidays and festivals, dozens of plot hooks, cultural quirks, and more locations for adventure in one city than I've seen in some whole countries, it also included the Eberron soundtrack CD. Fabulous.

It looks like this poll has gotten most of the votes it will get. So I am calling it.

The winner is the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting.

The top ten follow. The first number is number of votes for like. The second the % of voters who liked that product of those that had an opinion on it.

Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 144| 0.8
Living Greyhawk Gazetteer 105| 0.7894737
Eberron Campaign Setting 140| 0.7777778

Silver Marches 66| 0.6470588
Five Nations 69| 0.6216216
Secrets of Sarlona 56| 0.6086957

And the looser is specialty DM screens and charecters sheets. For books, Mysteries of the Moonseas is the worst. The first number is number of votes for not-like. The second the % of voters who disliked that product of those that had an opinion on it.
