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.

What D&D Setting Was the Least Popular?

Quote from: Gabriel2;835119I thought there was a Red Steel setting box set.  The one person I know of who remembers it talks about it like it's a full standalone setting.

Regardless, I'm admittedly very confused about the B/X and BECMI settings.  So, I don't doubt that I've got it wrong.

Late-era TSR always seemed to be anti-Mystara, in spite of the enormous amount of stuff they made for it.  Its like they were ashamed of it, even though it was probably the biggest, most detailed, and most spectacular setting they ever did over the years.

So yeah, the Red Steel and Savage Baronies sets were made in such a way that if you weren't a mystara fan you could use them standalone, which was dumb.  

Anyways, both those sets were mostly reposting the stuff that was covered of that region in Princess Ark.
