[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 2630716, member: 1165"] Another vote for Eberron :) Forgotten Realms fans say FR has gotten better and moved beyond "world destruction plots", and I think it has - but I'd rather use a setting that doesn't have FR-style baggage in the first place. (Plus, until Mystra is killed off and replaced by a neutral non-humanoid figure, I want nothing to do with the setting. Naturally this would involve the loss of Chosen status for several NPCs. Killing off Eilistraee would make me happy as well, and if Gruumsh ever gets his revenge on Corellon I will nearly as happy.) Eberron, being newer, has much less information to absorb. I find that to be a plus. A [i]big[/i] one. That gives more space for the DM. The kind of FR information I tend to like, like Halaster's actions in the Fall of Cormanthor, are quickly drowned out by later changes, like big H making some kind of deal with the [i]good aligned goddess of magic[/i]. (Sorry, it's a pet peeve.) I wish I could vote for one of WotC's D20 Modern settings. I like the rules, but I don't like any of the official settings.
