I would counter that any setting is 'vanilla' until it encounters your game table. It becomes a unique setting once your players begin to interact with the setting. SO this whole poll is moot. /pedant /asshat <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I picked Forgotten Realms. It is a setting I can feel comfortable running any style of game for D&D. The setting will clash with nothing. Horror? Ran werewolves and Cult of Malar hunting the party as they guarded refugees in the Vaast. Celtic historical? Moonshae. Modified Spelljammer? Lantan. Gritty crime syndicate shenanigans? Luskan or Calimshan or Amn. It is so full of every flavor, at this point, you just emphasize what you want. Currently, FR is less of a setting and more a collection of common place and character names. There is a great world setting there. Actually there are several great settings smushed together. But it is easy to feel lost in the Realms without focus.</blockquote>
