Dragonlance: 1st Dead (Killed by AndrewRF)
Ravenloft: 5
Dark Sun: 11
Greyhawk: 3rd Dead (killed by Eshenaleros)
Spelljammer: 4
Planescape: 7
Points of Light (it counts for this contest): 4

I'm confused, are these the 4th edition campaigns, or 3rd edition?

If they're 4th edition, hurt them all.

If they're 3rd edition:
Heal: Forgotten Realms
Hurt: Eberron

Heal: Greyhawk. We gotta keep the original D&D world.
Hurt: Forgotten Realms. Just seems like an overbloated Greyhawk where the good guys do everything, and evil people are forced into their tiny corners. Mordenkainen pwns Elminster anyways.

I tried hurting Dragonlance, but it had already been finished off. Also, I'm confused as to why Mystara and Birthright aren't on the list, as I would love to hurt those (either of them would be fine).

Mordenkainen's name is cooler, therefore he wins, who in the hell would name their child Elminster anyway?

It's also based on Väinämöinen's name. Thus making it extra cool. Or hot if it's sauna time.

You have no taste. Greyhawk rules. It kicks Forgotten Realms' ass, since Mordenkainen is way more awesome than Elminster. Eberron doesn't even hold a candle to Greyhawk, since it's not designed for epic characters.

THIS thread shows why Greyhawk is the best D&D world EVER made. EVER.

Overall, I rely almost exclusively on homebrew settings, so my opinion of the various settings is probably 'nil. Of my actual campaigns that weren't homebrew in nature, I have run one (short lived) FR campaign, one (short lived) Ravenloft campaign, and one (long lived) psuedo-Greyhawk campaign.

I borrow pretty heavily from Ravenloft, Call of Cthulu, Greyhawk, and the Realms, and I dream someday of having a group capable of tackling Dark Sun, but as it stands, Homebrew is the campaign setting for me.

I have zero experience w/ Points of Light, Spelljammer, or Planescape, so I really don't have much to say on those settings.

Eberron had some cool ideas, but fell short in my opinion. Action Points seemed tacked on for no reason. The Dragonmarked just failed to impress me. Warforged were an interesting concept, but ultimately flat (in my eyes). The fact that the art (particularly the use of color) didn't sit well w/ me was the ultimate reason that I decided against picking up the system.

If I have a favorite setting, I would say that it's the Realms... but that's a distant assertion at best. It is worth noting that the first 4e book to actually impress me was the FR Players Guide. For the first time in the history of the Realms, regional benefits were clear cut and easy to understand!!!

*Claim of Eberron not being designed for Epic*

Excuse me, but I have the Daelkyr on line #1, The Lords of Dust on line #2 and the Dreaming Dark on line #3. I'm also guessing the Undying Court and the Dragons of Argonnessen will want a word with you.

Hold on, I'm getting reports that Erandis d'Vol is finishing up her latest death-machine and that the Lord of Blades is going to the gym.

Exalted called. I'd rather not repeat what he said. IMAGE(http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/4239/thatsmileyto4.gif)

Well the one setting I despise is already dead, and the generic no point in it existing one was just killed so hurt ravenloft. I lost too many characters in ravenloft interesting idea but vampires do not make a setting.
Heal:Darksun what can I say I like canabalistic halflings, lack of metal weapons and psionics.
Hurt:Ebaron. Im just amblivient about it.
