Your least favourite setting

We've had lots of the "what is the best setting" threads. We probably have had "what is your least favourite?" threads. However if we have I've missed them. So here we are (possibly again). What is your least favorite setting and why?

For me it's Dawnforge. I can see why WoTC turned this setting down. I mean I get the idea behind the setting, however the characters just get gross as the game progresses. The party I'm playing in are still in the lower level and I have to say that we're pretty gross (power wise), I can imagine that when we reach higher levels we will be nie-unstoppable. We used the standar character creation process, it's not like we were stated out the wazoo to begin with. I know I'm going to get "it's the DM" responses, and this its true to a respect...I guess as a player I hate power gaming and I feel like I'm power gaming with DF.

Planescape.

First and foremost because it essentially killed my favorite D&D setting, Spelljammer.

However, I also dislike planar adventuring in general, I dislike the whole "neutral ground" feel of the city of Sigil, I loath the Lady of Pain ("100% pure unstatted deus ex machina, so the PCs can never, ever pull one of those silly take-over-the-planar-city games no matter how outrageously you allow them to munch out!"), I dislike planepunk art as much as dungeonpunk, and the dialect felt like a poor excuse for Shadowrun, chummer.
 




I bought the Warcraft D20 Rpg and I must say, I just don't get it. I have read the bok from cover to cover three times, and I am still unsure of how to start a successful adventure within the universe. I've never played any of the PC games in the world, and I'm not sure if there are any novels. If there are novels, I wouldn't mind buying the first anthology of them, if just to get a feel of the history of the setting.
 


Dragonlance. It just too bland with nothing to really make me feel like I really want to play there. SOme of the races and monsters are cool, though, and I use them in my own games...just none of the setting.

My #1 least favorite setting Spelljammer. The whole concept puts my teeth on edge.
And Maztica wins an awards for trying very hard to get a feel for Central American cultures and then failing miserably.
