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 setting sourcebook for a RPG that never happened was the Rebma book for Amber Diceless roleplaying. The system only got one sourcebook and it wasn't great. I would have loved to see the Rebma book, apparently near-complete when the plug was pulled on the concept.

Breaks my heart.

Of 'unpublished' settings I think would work with D&D... I'm particularly fond of Aarklash... the home setting of Cadwallon and the Confrontation skirmish game. It's like Warhammer Fantasy cross-pollinated with Disney... still dark and doomed but cleaner and somehow more magical without being twee. More fairy-tale-ish. Most everything is recognizable but tweaked just enough to feel fresh.

Well, the best D&D setting that's never been published for D&D? I'll have to go with the Palladium Fantasy setting.

I was thinking the same.  I know a lot of people have a hard time wrapping their heads around "tabletop gaming" ≠ "D&D," but even so.

I admit my fingers twitch whilst contemplating Lois McMasters Bujold's Chalion setting, which has some interesting twists to supernatural powers.  If I hadn't put 37 years and many hundreds of pages into my own homebrew setting ...
This was a cool site, until it became an echo chamber for whiners screeching about how the "Evul SJWs are TAKING OVAH!!!" every time any RPG book included a non-"traditional" NPC or concept, or their MAGA peeners got in a twist. You're in luck, drama queens: the Taliban is hiring.

Star Crash for Traveller. I'm ignoring the "for D&D" definition as that makes almost any setting "unpublished."
