I specifically want some things not to be discussed on the setting, so that players can have a sense of discovery  when they find out about them during an adventure (Drow in Golarion are a good example of this).* Plots and places. I want to be able to run as many different kinds of adventures as I can. When I read about a CS, I don't want cool stories; I want the possibility of creating cool stories. WW's oWoD is the perfect counter-example of this: they were too busy creating their plots and conspiracies that they forgot to leave space for the PCs in them.* Ability to change. If my high-level PCs deal with an important NPC or mess with the setting politics, I don't want that intra-game history to be undone by later supplements or novels. That means I prefer static settings to dynamic ones.* Newbie-friendly. I don't want to spend a whole session explaining the details and quirks of a setting to my players so that they'll be able to play in it. I love Eberron, but it sees a lot less play in our table than I'd like because some players always get lost in the details about dragonmarks, specific items of magic technology, and so on.</blockquote>
