Which D&D Campaign World did you enjoy most?

[DrunkonDuty]

My faves are: Greyhawk. You always remember your first fondly. Also it has about the level of detail I like. Er, that is the box set back in the 80's before Living Campaigns. A few hints here and there, just enough to get the creative juices flowing. I didn't even mind the Greyhawk Wars. Well, I ignored most of it but as a general idea it was good. I've put a bit of my own spin on it. Took out a lot of the whackier ideas and have borrowed a campaign suggestion from Canonfire in which the Theocracy of the Pale becomes the new big player in the Eastern Flanaess.

Kara-Tur back before it got annexed by the Forgotten Realms and was it's own box set. Again, it had the right level of detail. And a very good city setting in Nakamura.

Have long wanted to try out Dark Sun, and may yet. I think Eberron is interesting but if going to play a Pulp game I'll do it in something resembling the real world.

cheers.

Out of the published settings--Dark Sun by a country mile. It's the only published setting I have ever run a game in.

There ought to be a poll in this thread.

For D&D, homebrews aside, I really enjoyed Eberron when I ran/played in 3.5.

Recently I've been reading up on Hârn, which seems interesting. If i ever get around to running a Burning Wheel game I'll set it there.

I'm also a really big fan of Shadowrun in its prior incarnations, though I don't know if that qualifies as a campaign world.

For published settings, Eberron is my favorite. I particularly like reading Kieth Baker's various takes on the world, and how he planned to use the elements that are in the setting.

If I can ever figure out where to get the time from, I'd run a goblinoid campaign set in Darguun.

I'd play.

Favorite published official setting? Al-Qadim. I realize you could argue that technically it was placed in the "world" of Forgotten Realms, but I don't think it gains anything from being bound to Forgotten Realms cosmology. A superior product on its own, to be sure.

I enjoyed Mystara the most, way back when I only knew it as the Known World. Ties in with the immense coolness of discovering D&D.

Planescape comes second.

EDIT: these are my favourite D&D worlds. If other games were in the running, it would be different (Old World for WFRP and the Cthulhu Mythos for CoC).

Dark Sun for me, with a special mention for Harn.

Eberron. I looked through the 3.5 book before I even played DnD at a Chapters and found it fascinating. I like the pulp/noir mashup, the new races, it's a cool world.

Favorite published setting in which I've played: Greyhawk (it was bastardized and such, but I've only been a player in Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Spelljammer and homebrews, and the Greyhawk games beat out the FR and Spelljammer ones)

Favorite published setting in which I've run: Greyhawk (it was a close call between Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms, as those are the only two settings in which I've had what I would deem "successful" campaigns, aside from homebrews)

Favorite published setting: Eberron (I've never run or played in Eberron, nor do I own any Eberron materials, but what I've read about it and from some Dungeon adventures set in that setting, it is the one that hits on many of the concepts that I love...Planescape and Spelljammer are second and third)
