Message: <blockquote data-quote="Squire James" data-source="post: 2105347" data-attributes="member: 548">Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms both drew great benefit and great problems from so many novels set in their respective worlds.  On one hand, the novels themselves can be fluff, and DM's can mine all sorts of good stuff from them.  On the other hand, sometimes the novels yielded a whole bunch of bad stuff that really should have stayed in the ground.If you think you're a good judge of what is "good fluff" and what is "bad fluff", there are so settings that beat the Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance for sheer volume of meterial.  Planescape's popularity stem, IMO, from the fact it has almost as much stuff as these two, but does not share the stigma of being overburdened by novels (the biggest stupidity was in thier modules rather than their novels, and modules don't necessarily "happen").  I like the setting quite a bit myself, and normally merge much of its material into my campaign when the levels get high.</blockquote>
