SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Which is your favorite D&D setting?

My DM's current homebrew, but as far as published settings go, Greyhawk and Dragonlance (the original version, not the Fifth Age stuff).

Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk, mostly because of Drizzt and Gord the Rogue.
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

Mystara supported by Planescape and Spelljammer.

My second favorite is Forgotten Realms, though I stopped buying new stuff after the Avatar Trilogy and the beginning of the Reign of the Metaplots.  So I'm talking FR circa 1992.  FR had the major advantage of featuring Kara-Tur, Al-Quadimand Maztica, which made it a really diverse and developed world.

Greyhawk has always left me a bit cold, as the world seems particularly flavorless.  Birthright came along when I was pretty much burned out on new worlds so I never gave it chance.  Ravenloft was too wonky, and should have been a standard world rather than a demiplanes.  Making gypsies unplayable was also a major turn-off.  Dark Sun is fun, but too much work since nothing generic works with it.

I play a modified Forgotten Realms setting.

I am right there with you.  The only reason why I didn't rate FR as my favorite is because of the 4e FR changes.

Eberron is my favorite in-House setting for the weirdness and versatility.

Midnight is my favorite third-party setting because of it's dark, Tolkien-esque atmosphere.

The Wilderlands is the one I'd most happily play in or run from among the usual suspects; Lankhmar is a strong second pick.
