What is your favorite non-traditional setting?

Planescape all the way...

I know a lot of people like eberron, and I might like it too if I ever got the chance to read into it a bit. I personally like the dragonmech setting.
What are some other non-traditional, or high-fantasy, settings that you guys enjoy or would recommend?

I don't know that Eberron is very non-traditional really. I mean, it's pretty much D&D with the D&D-ness turned up a notch.

I'd vote probably for Dark Sun and Iron Kingdoms. Both of those r0xx0rz by b0xx0rz and kn0xxorz off my s0xx0rz.

I dunno. I don't see many 'traditional' worlds that have magic trains and living construct creatures, among other things.

I'm giving my votes to:
Eberron (It's not traditional damnit )
Iron Kingdoms
Dark Sun

In addition to Dark Legacies (of course) my old school favorites are Dark Sun and Planescape. The folks oveer at athas.org are doing some really good work updating Dark Sun to 3.5.

Al-Qadim is my favorite non-trad setting. So much good stuff in it from the obvious environmental change (desert/jungle vs temperate forests) to the religious orders, but you had to have a group of players that really bought into the setting. Iron Kingdoms is great, I just wish they hadn't taken so long getting our the campaign books. Eberron got me excited enough to actually make the switch to the 3.5 rule set, which says a lot.

For 2E: Planescape

For 3E: Oathbound

I see this a lot; people who liked the old Planescape like Oathbound.

Dark Sun, Planescape, Mutants and Masterminds.

Dark Sun has always been a favorite. The Wild West is my new Darksun.

Planescape, most definatly the most original setting ever. although i wish they had been a bit more adult in their treatment of classic philosophies. not that i mind, but when your literture teacher/parent cringes while reading the description of the factions... yeah that can suck

2nd is Ebberron

Planescape, without a doubt. I ran a Greyhawk-Planescape game for years and years. I like Dark Sun too, but I find it's just a bit too... monochromatic for long campaigns.

A'koss.
