General statement: worlds with interesting and internally "rules of reality." Worlds that tell me WHY things are different.
For example, in the inspiring thread, many people referred to disliking a mix of tech and magic. I once thought of myself in that camp too. But it soon occured to me that it wasn't the mere concept of doing so that bothered me. It's the nonchalance and "anything goes" attitude of settings that did it (like RIFTS and Shadowrun) that turned me off. Then I saw settings that put some consideration into how and where tech and magic can mix, and I am actually finding it a lot of fun to play in one such world (Second World Sourcebook to be exact.)
