[QUOTE="AdmundfortGeographer, post: 2113213, member: 4682"] Myself, I try not to have an opinion on settings unless I have owned material for it. I'm not saying that everyone should have this standard, but it is mine. :) I was once a big FR fan right from the start. I bought everything. But up until a certain point it felt like it got out of control and I began to dislike it. It was never my least favorite, but it was once my favorite... long ago... Of the TSR/WotC published settings, that honor goes to [i]Planescape[/i]. I bought the first three boxed sets but the jargon and slang just chased me away. Maybe that's my failing, but it was so pervasive it wasn't worth my effort to ignore it. It took me three boxes because I was giving it the benefit of my doubts hoping it would improve. If it was just limited to bits of actual spoken "excerpts" I might have been able to stand it, but it was everywhere. *shrug* I wanted to like it, but it made it too difficult. A close second would be [i]Jakandor[/i]. I don't know what more to say. Of all the other WotC settings, [i]Mystara[/i] (+[i]Hollow World[/i]/[i]Savage Coast[/i]/[i]Blackmoor[/i]), [i]Ravenloft[/i], [i]Birthright[/i], [i]Al-Qadim[/i], [i]Greyhawk[/i], [i]Dark Sun[/i], [i]Spelljammer[/i], [i]Dragonlance[/i] (+[i]Taladas[/i]), [never owned [i]Chainmail[/i] so I have no opinion on the default setting that came with this mini's game] etc. I have good things (some really good like [i]Mystara[/i], some just a little bit like [i]Dragonlance[/i]) to remember about them which prevent me from putting it as my least favorite. That said... My least favorite setting, [b]regardess[/b] of publisher, probably falls to either [i]Dungeon World[/i] or [i]Sundered Reaches[/i]. A toss-up. Regards, Eric Anondson [/QUOTE]
