Which settings are worth looting?

[Psion]

I did mean to put Iron Kingdoms.

Leaving off Midnight was purposeful, as I figured it was too divergant to make for rich plundering material.

But that's why the "other" choices were there folks. Suck it up!

Conan and OGL ancients for the fantasy games, traveller for sci-fi

Yeah let's see..

Flying Ships through space and other worlds...

Strange appearances of races previously unknown to Toril. (Gith. Mind Flayers. Kender.)

Spells made in reaction to stuff (See Khelban's Warding Whip)

Uhm am I missing anything Psion?

The one that really had my ire was giving all the core demihuman deities to FR and demoting them to persoanal assistants in the core (though in Races of the Wild, they seem to have backed off this.)

I still think the Midnight Wildlander is the best alt.ranger I know, and the Defender is the best alt.monk. I wouldn't hesitate allowing either of those in any D&D game.

Uhm I know what you're saying Psion...but I'm a little confused.

Didn't they just copy and paste both and say "Here. These are the elven gods, the dwarven gods, and the halfling gods."

Am I wrong?

I'm not sure what the confusion is.

As in 2e, all of the old school demihuman deities became FR deities. But in 3e, all reference to demihuman deities other than the pantheon heads were dropped from the core but retained in FR, and 3e MotP only mentioned that other figures in the pantheons weren't divine, but divine personal assistants. Then Races of Stone was published with a totally different set of deities other than the pantheon head.

Been a few months since I GMed but...

Forgotten Realms

Iron Kingdoms (Monsternomicon love...)

Scarred Lands (used some of the Vangal worshippers for some Tugian encounters)

Eberron (races, magic items, spells, etc...)

Warhammer (Fate points, atmosphere, some of the chaos gods... blood for the blood god... skulls for the skull throne!)

Others but brain refusing to cooperate. (Talislanta would've been one, but seeing no ECL's on the races made me put the book away. Correct me if wrong here please. Love to give it another look over but no balance equal no purchase as my time to convert wrong mecahnics would just encourage me to use my various older Talislanta books.)

 

[Voadam]

Things I have used in my current 3.5 campaign

Ravenloft (vampire age categories)
Forgotten Realms (magic, feats, prestige classes)
Scarred Lands (ritual magic, spells)
Oathbound (monsters)
Diamond Throne (classes, feats)
Everquest d20 (monsters)
Pre 3e including planescape for monster and plane backgrounds and greyhawk for gods details

Hm, I love IK and Eberron, but I don't foresee plundering much from those worlds.

I, however, love to plunder from FR and Scarred Lands. CoC and Ravenloft get some nods as well.
