I’ve love the Arabian Nights stories, films, TV series, and cartoons since I was a kid. There’s a few problematic bits with the setting, but none that can’t be easily fixed. Doing something with a bit wider net would be nice. Go North Africa from Morocco through Egypt and through Mesopotamia, Iran, Iraq, etc and you agoid the essentializing and Orientalism of the original. Dark Sun. As problematic as some elements are, it’s easily one of my top five settings. Apocalyptic ecological disaster caused by the misuse of magic. Evil has all but won. Harsh survival. Immortal sorcerer-kings. Psionics everywhere. Bronze age. Conan. Mad Max. Barsoom. It almost has it all. Mystara / Known World / Hollow World. This is the top of my list. The setting is the most gonzo, crazy D&D setting. It’s so over-the-top TSR and WotC have stripped it for parts for decades now. Let’s see if I can find that post...ah, yes.“A second, invisible moon with samurai cat people living on it. An ancient crashed spaceship. A buried nuclear reactor. An ancient Blackmoor device exploded, tilting the world. The Hollow World. The spell of preserving. Kalaktatla, the Amber Serpent...aka Ka the Preserver...an Immortal T-Rex who preserves ancient civilizations by moving them to the hollow world, including faux Romans and faux Aztecs. Flying continents. Flying cities. Crashed flying cities. Flying ships. Flying gnomes. A city of Immortals on the moon. Vast galactic empires. Time travel. Aliens. Genetic manipulation. Alternate dimensions. Thar. All the unique races and monsters. Immortals. Slowly dying magic. Shadow elves. The denial of the Hin. Bargle. Threshold. The Isle of Dread. The modules. I could almost swoon just thinking about it all.”Ravenloft. Well...never mind. Carry on, then. Spelljammer. Gimme Pirates of the Caribbean in space already. British hippo gun fetishists and giant space hamsters. Neogi and mind flayers. I’d prefer they not mix it with Planescape, but that almost seems inevitable at this point.</blockquote>
