Which old TSR settings are you *still* playing?

Spelljammer.

I just brought my FR group in Wildspace, to the Rock of Bral (which in my campaing orbits around Toril).

It is kind of cool, since I ran a Rock of Bral game over 10 years ago or so with 2 players. And again with one of the two players and a few others 6 years ago. Neither of them is playing in this game, but the changes they helped bring about are in evidence for the new group.

That and I additionally advanced the timeline another 12 years to bring it current.

SJ is a great setting. Needs tweaks to keep the more silly elements at bay, and I've altered the way SJ Helms work, but a great game nonetheless.

We are taking a short hiatus from it however, in order to try out Classic Deadlands for awhile.

Whoever said Maztica or the Horde is lying. Even when they were new, no one played Maztika or the Horde.

If you want a guest player for a game or two, drop me an email. I'd love to try Deadlands with a judge who understands the rules!

Interesting note: Before it went on Hiatus, the PC's in my FR campaign (The Company of the Endless Bridge) were headed east to the Hordelands, and then onward to Kara-Tur. They got as far as Impiltur, took a job from one of the PC's wealthy parents, and got stranded in the underdark sidetracked.

Are those hard to find!?

I didn't find the rules hard to understand, really (original Pinnacle Deadlands, don't know (and don't want to ) the d20 thingie). Not at all.

Great game, BTW.

Are those hard to find!?

Other than Umbran (bless him!), if I want to play a non-d20 game I often have to run it myself. I love the western genre, especially as a player, and finding folks who will let me sit in on a great game like Deadlands is like striking gold.

To get back on topic, I actually took inspiration from the Horde set (without actually owning the product.) When my campaign got boring, I had a massive horde of Mongol-esque orcs invade from the west. It was tremendously effective at shaking up the world.

Running DragonLance in 3.5 now. But to call it the "old TSR" DragonLance would be fibbing at this point. It's more of a hybrid, really of blending the old with the new.

The new Sov Press 3E DragonLance books are great. Seeing as I have 5 of the new hardcovers now, I'm finally getting to lord it over the Planescape and Greyhawk holdouts.

Frankly, if I was a Greyhawk fan, I'd be mighty annoyed that the "default" setting of 3E gets next to nothing, while the DragonLance folks are now getting a slew of Big Fat Books...

I said PS and Kara Tur, but I am sort of cheating... I have forays into Planescape, and rip of Kara Tur for my own world (and NEVER ran it as part of FR.)

Living, breathing, writing and running Dragonlance. All Krynn, all the time. It's putting my 2-year old through daycare.

Cheers,

Greyhawk! I never really left. Its been all Greyhawk since I played in a Dark Sun campaign in 1992. I tried it, and I didn't like it....

For an old timer who likes Greyhawk, its hard for me to imagine actually getting to know another setting like I do Greyhawk, and I'm just not certain what kind of a DM I'd be in a world what I don't know the answers when the PC's as the questions!

What about Taladas

The continent of Taladas in the Dragonlance setting was my favorite. I would choose Taladas over Ansalon because Ansalon has that "Middle Earth" feel, where everything has been done before.

I still play Planscape. The most original, IMO.
