What is your LEAST favorite setting?

[Wolfen Priest]

Ok, we have the poll on your favorite setting, but now I want to know which one you dislike the most, and why.

Please don't vote 'other' unless you strongly feel you must.

Gotta be Dragonlance. Bitter memories of the most railroaded modules in the history of the *D&D game and Kender, and continual confusion by DL fanboys that Orbs of Dragonkind and Death Knights originated in Krynn combine to make it the most disdained setting ever for me.

What psion said. I can't stand the books, can't stand the setting.

Btw, this thread is probably going to go up in flames within a page or so. It's hard to say 'I don't like something' w/o also saying 'if you like it, you suck'.

rokugan

dont like an oriental setting that is more based on bad hong kong movies than anything else.

Forgotten Realms -
It's at the mercy of too many crappy authors, including Greenwood. Why are horrid novels that are written at a 10th grade level made part of the cannon? It's too high powered, everyone of note is seemingly a chosen of some god, a lover of some god, etc. The movers and shakers can never be the PC's.

Planescape comes close.. but FR takes the cake.

Well yeah, that's a given, but I just thought that in the long run it would be interesting to compare these data with that of the other poll. I'm willing to venture that 'we' like the same settings 'we' hate.

Spelljammer...D&D in Space?...Completly stupid..

 

[Wolfen Priest]

I gotta say it...

Ya know I checked Forgotten Realms as a kind of knee-jerk vote... but I think on reflection I would probably be less excited to play in a Dark Sun campaign than any of the others.

I thought the basic premise of the setting was good enough, but a lot of the ideas were were just way too 'out there' (i.e., transforming into a 'good' or a 'bad' dragon if you were a wizard, IIRC).

The worst part for me was the munchkinity of it all. First time we ever saw 10th level spells, I believe. I'm sure it would have put FR to shame, if it had ever become as popular.

I have to wonder which Hong Kong movie has anything whatsoever to do with Rokugan, or vise versa.

Feng Shui was fun though.
