I really enjoy the majority of other settings. I never got much chance to play in, say Dark Sun, but would kill for a good 5E adventure that pulled me into the setting, at this point in my life. Ditto good for most of the others, too, even the ones I didn't really love (Planescape). Maybe I'd end up sticking with our returning to one of them, or maybe not. I'd still get a kick out of the tour. One of the biggest joys of D&D, IMO, is the different worlds promoting this is an end in itself.On the other hand, I was unimpressed by the original gray FR boxed set. The best a Realms product (that I've looked at) has been is mediocre -- with the exception of the 3E FRCS, which was possibly the best setting book ever created, unfortunately wasted on a dung heap of a setting. The lore is mediocre.  The best of the fiction published would embarrass any self-respecting fifth-grader (not that any gaming fiction is great, but the Realms has so much of it that it matters to the lore). I'm genuinely amazed the setting made it beyond the first printing of the gray box. I honestly just want the setting to go away.</blockquote>
