I also keep a more mundane setting where I'm just cramming all of Exemplars of Evil and Elder Evils into the same world so I don't have to think about plot much, and I've had postapocalyptic worlds inspired by Mad Max and Blade Runner but with swords and spellbooks, a version of the Forgotten Realms where Cthulu came to town and made every magical person completely and violently insane, "origin worlds" where the PC's were the first creatures in existence, and, well, Planescape, which is just an excuse to go to any world my imagination can dream up. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I change settings often, though. Sometimes I'll re-visit an interesting one, but by and large I'll just make one campaign per world. It's not that there aren't more stories to tell there, it's just that there's so many really cool ideas for campaign settings out there that I can't see limiting myself to just one, or even to a more mundane one. If I play in a stereotypical fantasy setting, it's going to need to have a dynamite hook to interest me. I'm thinking of running an Eberron game in what will be the Mournland as the tragedy happens. I'm kind of looking forward to playing a 4e game in Dark Sun, but I'm equally paranoid that 4e will suck the fun out of it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> I like different settings. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/angel.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":angel:" title="Angel    :angel:" data-shortname=":angel:" /></blockquote>
