[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 4827367, member: 2804"] I like Mystara for several reasons. Primarily because it was the D&D setting I grew up with in the 80's. I never played Greyhawk, and I didn't get into the Realms until later. Mystara will always have a fond place in my heart. I love the concept of the Immortals, the Hollow World, and just the way the world's different nations and continents are set up. I also love hex maps and really miss them in gaming products. The new incarnation of the Realms just don't really grab me, although I do love the new FR Player's Guide and the 4e rules, its just something about the presentation of the Campaign Guide. The 3e FRCG is still one of the best campaign setting books ever and the 4e version falls short. However, the opposite is true with Eberron. I never really was interested in Eberron in 3e, but now I find myself really interested in the setting and am looking forward to the new books. The 4e rules seem to fit the setting perfectly. I'm not interested in Dragonlance at all. It seems like a setting designed around a story told for specific characters, and I'm just not interested in it because I don't see how my PCs fit into that story. Everything cool in the setting seems like it revolves around the Weis/Hickman characters. Dark Sun sort of has a similar problem. It is good as long as you ignore everything that occurs in the Prism Pentad. But I definitely find myself interested in a 4e version of Dark Sun. [/QUOTE]
