What is your favorite non-traditional setting?

Another vote for Iron Kingdoms. The next campaign I run is going to contain a heavy dose of Iron Kingdoms, although much darker and grittier of course.

Anything else ends up feeling like mutants and masterminds or final fantasy.

And that's a bad thing? If a non-traditional fantasy setting feel like it's not D&D, it's done its job IMO.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Spelljammer, Dragonstar, Rifts, Stargate, Demonwars and The Diamond Throne (AU/AE).

 

[Turanil]

For me it's Dark Sun, Al Qadim, and Oriental Adventures.

 

[ThirdWizard]

Planescape, Planescape, and Planescape.

 

[Roudi]

Blood & Relics.

Take the modern world. Then imagine that everything in The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail is true. And then some. You might get close to imagining what Blood & Relics is like.

Occult Mystery / Suspense gaming with religious overtones. I love it.

For 2E: Planescape

For 3E: Oathbound

Planescape is very cool. So is Dark Sun if done properly (guess that really goes for all settings). But my favorite would be Dark Legacies from Red Spire Press. It has a fantastic atmosphere and some cool rules additions that are easily implemented instead of making the current rules unplayable.

Planescape
Second World
Mindshadows
Oathbound

Blood & Relics.

That's a great book, I give a big thumbs up.

Planescape is my favorite 2nd ed. setting.

Al-Qadim is pretty cool, and the change of pace in Savage Coast (little infrastructure, wide-open spaces, guns) would be interesting.
