Which was your favorite setting from TSR/WotC?

You forgot Ghostwalk, one of the coolest and most underrated settings ever. Due to your oversight, I was forced to vote for planescape.

I didn't include this because it seems to have been treated more as a "D&D expansion" than a campaign setting.

For example, I don't think WotC will produce modules and supplements for it.

Really liked Greyhawk, though I rarely got to use/play in the setting. Wasn't that crazy about the blow-up due to Greyhawk Wars, but I enjoyed the setting. Glad Vecna showed up again.

I liked Mystara for the OD&D/"Red Box" style D&D, but I wasn't keen on it for AD&D.

I liked the way that FR was before 2nd ed. and a lot of the tie-in novels/trilogies/series were introduced. Just a basic setting with good flavor. The Time of Troubles, spellfire, wild magic, Chosen of deities, & lots of other stuff just flat-out killed the setting for me.

Dragonlance seemed to epic-bound to me--there was always a comparison to the books, in my mind. Hated the way players typically roleplayed kender, not to mention the Raistlin wanna-bes.

Mystara/Known World

I've noticed that some folks prefer Mystara to be referred to as the Known World.

Is this because the 2E revision of the setting didn't do a good job?

I loved Basic D&D. I never owned the Gazetteers but I owned some of the modules and the Known World looked like a fun setting. I never bought the AD&D 2E Mystara, though. I got the impression that TSR was trying to target younger audiences with it so I thought the material would be very "simplistic". Plus they seemed to include a narrator CD in every product which made me a little hesitant. Were the CDs useful?

P.S. The D&D Rules Cyclopedia refers to the Known World as Mystara, *I think*.
