Favourite D&D campaign World??

Gith · 19-05-2006, 01:22 PM

My first poll so here goes.
As there has been a lot of FR bashing of late, I thought it might be interesting to find out what those who frequent the forum is there favourite Official D&D Campaign World of all time.
Also I thought it might be fun if you posted what you liked or disliked about various campaign worlds you have played.
I think I have included most if not all of them from over the years. I'm sure you will tell me if I have missed one.

Ravenloft
Mystara
Forgotten Realms
Al Qadim
SpellJammer
Planescape
Greyhawk
Eberron
Dragonlance
Dark Sun

Sorry Hawk, I think alot of ppl would choose there own gm's campaign world! But i was interested in seeing what worlds the ppl on the boards liked.

As many who have read my posts in other threads know I am a big Forgotten Realms fan...

What I like about the Realms is the massive scope it has, and the depth of source material available, source material that can be used to inspire grand campaigns. I could rant about how good it is all day.. But don't worry I won't

I can't really think of a bad thing about the place really...

Yeh out of the choices you gave I choose FR as its the most fun of the set realms theres is. plus i do enjoy my drizzt books ! lol

Definately Forgotten Realms, after that Dragonlance.

I voted Greyhawk

FR is good, but not because world in itself is so good but because there is som much background material available for it, so much has been created for that setting that it is unmatched.

But Greyhawk is still better

Greyhawk here. Still relatively untouched in terms of exposure to online games and would have been a perfect location for DDO. But Eberron is new and WOTC are trying to sell their new products and the old so understandable why.

Greyhawk though still fits my idea of a world that encapsulates the enviroment D&D is made for.

Well i played for 10 years on FR and it's like first love hehe
But since i discovered Eberron i must admit that i prefer Eberron for loads of reasons the main one is : my players don't know the story of eberron when they know all about FR (thx the books :/ even if they are good)
Here in Eberron i can create what i want they don't have the idea if it's possible or not...How many times in FR i heard a : impossible this city is like that and nothing else !!

Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance! My first D&D Novels i readed was the Dragonlance Saga! And then comes R.A. Salvatore!

The rest is history!

It still has to be the best for me just because of a great summer spent having the sessions outside in mates garden with the best role play group i every played with.
