Rgr on that being a great setting ... I can't wait till I finish my capstone next week, I have the last 3 of those books to read (and a friend here at TYA tempts me with dropping hints on the books each time he is stationed in my classroom)

I'm also slowly working on a homebrew setting, Terra Penumbra, so that should get mention. :)
Of course my home brew is one I love, but a dice has never been rolled in it sooooo I can't count it.

Good point. I'm hoping to rectify that soon.

Yeah, if I guess we are expanding the list from fantasy (Can of worms) then I'd have to add...

I saw Harn mentioned upthread. Totally forgot about that one, but that's one of my faves as well.

Back in the early D20 days I remember an ad in Dragon for a version of Harn called Harn DE that was D20 compatible and had some digital extras on the disc. After doing searches on it I never could find it which leads me to think it never was developed. I was interested in seeing this but I guess it was not to be.

I love stealing from it, so I am sure if I ever bothered to actually use it I would move it to the top of my list.

I have been using a homebrew setting for over 30 years and see no need to abandon it

I own several published settings, though

Greyhawk and Harn are my favorites and I have stolen ideas from both settings. The Arden setting for 1st edition C&S is still one of the best I've seen though. It forms the basis of my homebrew setting. :ugeek:

I've expanded the maps from the original set (which included only the one kingdom) to cover all the neighboring realms and developed several dozen major NPCs..

D&D (or anything like it - C&C is my game of choice these days, obviously) will always be Greyhawk to me.

A close second: anything close to Greyhawk (Forgotten Realms, Known Worlds)

If we are including things a bit outside the normal parameters, I very much like the Scatterpoint setting of RUNEPUNK (Savage Worlds setting).

I also like ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND themed settings (WONDERLAND NO MORE for Savage Worlds; EX 1 & 2 for D&D).

I'd be very interested in a middle-eastern / Arabic setting at some point (suggestions welcome).
