Which settings are worth looting?

[DMH]

For a sci-fi setting, I am using a lot from Dawning Star and Broncosaurus Rex.

I have been keeping an eye out for which settings I can use prestige races (from Oathbound) in and found a couple. I think they would fit better than heroic paths for Midnight and the dream effects in Hunt: Rise of Evil.

Since everything can be in Oathbound, it takes something really special to get my attention and the magical signatures in Morningstar did that. Since there is so much magic on Thraxsis and the Forge, the ability for concentrations of magical beings to affect their surroundings works for both. BTW signatures are not bubbles that follow beings, but rather long term changes to the land itself.

My Gamma World settings are influenced by Dark Sun. They are not deserts (ever), but the animal and plant life in the first box set and MCs are too useful to pass up.

In my current game I have used material from Eberron, Iron Kingdoms and Oathbound. Not sure if this is actually looting from Oathbound as much as it is foreshadowing, as the PCs will eventually wind up in that setting.

I'm stealing right now from the Oathbound setting for my homebrew game, ESPECIALLY the mass combat system from the Arena Domain book. Incredibly simple for highend play.

Where are Midnight, Planescape, and Iron Kingdoms?

I've looted Eberron, Iron Kingdoms, FR, and Arcana Unearthed. I'm looking forward to Spirosblaak, as it seems like something that will have some elements that I can use.

You might want to take a look at The Kyngdoms. Of course, as you can find the whole setting online, you might just find its worth taking it all and running a campaign there

I've also just added the One-Eyed Goblin - an inn set in the City of Karnish (but which can, of course, be used in your own setting!).

*likes the fact people STILL do loot from the Scarred Lands.*

Here's hoping for more SL fun in the future...

p.s., you left Greyhawk off your poll- is this cuz it's the 'default' setting? If not, make that first on my list.

Well, that and there hasn't been much in the way of REAL 3e/d20 Greyhawk material beyond the Gazeteer and a few nods in "core" supplements.

 

[Psion]

Argh! I can't believe you left Planescape off the poll.

Other pre-3e D&D setting (specify)

I didn't list any pre-3e setting by name. As much as Planescape gets plundered for my game...

Forgotten Realms is the top, even D&D itself steals from FR.

Turnabout is fair play, considering how much non-FR stuff FR has greedily lapped up.
