This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

My favourite remains Planescape, AKA That Setting Where Alignment Actually Means Something.
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.

I'm not sure what to pick.

I like my own settings which are superficially similar to Greyhawk, Al Qadim, and Planescape.

But there are some regions of Greyhawk, (like my home region of Geoff) that I'm not too fond of.

I love Al Qadim, but I've never seen a decent 3e version of it.

There are plenty of extraplanar sidequests we do, but it isnt obsessing about alignment, faction, or any place called Sigil.

I guess I prefer my own settings.

Dark Sun all the way.  But the original Dark Sun, as described in the box set, not the blasphemous post-novels watered-down Dark Sun.

Original Dark Sun and Planescape. To be honest, all of the 2nd ed settings have a  place in my heart, even if I wasn't able to play them all.

A lack of moderation doesn\'t mean saying every asshole thing that pops into your head.

Of the choices given, Greyhawk.

Kalamar and The Wilderlands would be my first choices though.

Mystara with Hollow world tossed in. Though Greyhawk can be found on old world map of Mystara as well.

I gotta go with Mystara.

You left out Mystara. I mean shit, I can understand leaving out the Wilderlands because it was never an "official" D&D setting in any incarnation, but how the fuck does "spell jammer" make the list but fucking MYSTARA doesn't???

Spell Jammer is pretty damn cool, IMO.

there were only 10 options, these were the 9 I figured would be the most popular.

Dark Sun (original, natch). It actually made me play D&D again.

Planescape was also wonderful, but the English 'slang' always grated on me. 'Berk' and 'Sod' just made me cringe.
