What is the best Savage Worlds setting and why?

The Day After Ragnarok hands down for me. You have a setting in which World War II ends with an (almost literal) Earth-shattering bang as Nazis unleash the horrors of the end-times of Norse myth upon the world.

The result resembles a pulp men's adventure take on Rifts by way of Hellboy and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. You get to rub shoulders with characters both historical and fictional (and better still, fictional versions of historical characters) as you fight off Soviet-aligned frost giants, degenerate dwarves, apocalyptic cultists, monstruous serpents, Nazi ODESSA operatives, Soviet ape-men and Imperial Japanese agents, to name but a few.

The book's also got random generators for post-apocalyptic towns and adventure hooks, as well as 5-item lists such as "5 Places You Might Find A Castle Ruled By A Madman" or "5 Places You Might Run Into Air Pirates."

I've run a pretty successful game of DAR with my crew and a couple of them often pester me to return to Earth after the Serpentfall and one of these days I might just do that.

Achtung! Cthulhu has stats for Savage Worlds in it: allied forces + mythos vs. nazis + mythos = awesome.

I also like the setting of Accursed for its Universal and Hammer vibe.

Cthulhu Vice, available for free at http://www.relsden.com
Miami Vice meets the Mythos, for free.  Ran a 3 part session for my group and it was hilarious and fun and exciting.
The author has a number of free Savage Worlds settings there, as well.

Space 1889 Red Sands

Because it is Space 1889

That's all the reason needed.

I agree fully with this statement

Ha, the SW settings are usually a bit off. This Space 1889 is really bunkers. I like the originality in most of their settings.

My favorites are (crap I can't choose):

• Deadlands (Noir)
• Solomon Kane
• Hellfrost (Land of Fire)
• The Day After Ragnarok

Of course Cthulhu. Cthulhu is always cool. There are a shitload of games right now. Achtung, Brittanica, Trail of etc. Are they all good?
Or this worth another topic?

Bunkers? Sorry not familiar with the term.

Although I find the Deadlands setting (and it's kin: Reloaded, Noir, etc.) interesting, I can't get into it very much. I prefer SW for pulpy stuff, such as Daring Tales of Adventure.

I really do want to run Hellfrost/Hellfrost: Land of Fire sometime soon, however, just to see what it is like.

Slipstream is genius. It's inspiration is Flash Gordon but the specific setting better suited for gaming and the plot point campaign makes for a good sandboxy campaign.

Necessary Evil has a killer premise and a lot of good ideas but the I wasn't entirely happy with the execution, in particular the way Dr Destruction is meant to boss the characters around.

Typo. Bonkers.

Oh makes more sense:)

I really like Marchland by Hearthstone Games: http://www.hearthstonegames.com/

Its a great urban fantasy game (focussing on fae, ghosts and mages), which is a genre generally covered only by systems that are too complex for my tastes (nWoD, Dresden Files etc).

There is no best when it comes to these threads.  Every obscure setting will get a mention, looking to be popular.
