[QUOTE="Hex08, post: 8956312, member: 7029595"] Even though I started playing D&D in the early 1980's I have never heard of some of the settings mentioned by the OP. Also, I haven't played D&D since 3.x ended so I don't really have any skin in this game but of those I recognize I'll share my thoughts. Al-Qadim: Arabian Adventures - I really enjoyed the setting. In one of my favorite campaigns the group I DM'd for travelled from Faerun to Al-Qadim but I never ran a campaign there exclusively. One of their characters died while there and created a Shi'ar who travelled back to Faerun with the group. I recognize it may need some reworking for a modern audience. Council of Wyrms was a neat read but I never used it. One of my former DMs let a player be a dragon as a PC using its rules and I was not a fan. Gamma World as a D&D setting? I don't understand why you would do that and not have it a standalone game. Ghostwalk - I owned it but never got around to reading it but it seemed like a cool setting. Greyhaawk is #1!!!!! Kara-Tur - I owned "Oriental Adventures" and nothing else. Other than creating a group of enemies who travelled far to bedevil the heroes in my campaign I never used it or bought any of the Kara-Tur supplements. Magic The Gathering - While it has neat settings it just seems like a pure cash grab and I would have no interest. Maztica - I think I owned this but never used it. It could be a fun setting though. Mystara - Other than some adventures that took place in it I don't think I owned any source material. It doesn't seem to offer anything not offered by other settings with more already existing material. Birthright, Blackmoor and Taladas are settings I am aware of but never owned or read so I have no opinions on them. Jakandor, Nentir Vale and Pelinore are settings I have never even heard of. I'm not sure how many settings 5E currently has since I don't play it but I think limiting the number of settings is probably best. If people want others let new ones be developed by WotC or third party publishers. [/QUOTE]
