Day 21 – Favorite RPG setting

The obvious choice would be my homebrewed world, but since you have no point of reference you would have to just take my world for how awesome it is! But that’s cheating; let me break it down by genre…

For fantasy, and this should be no surprise to regular readers, it’s the D&D Known World, better known as Mystara. From the map in the D&D Expert set to the Gazetteer series, it’s still my favorite D&D setting!

Sci-fi, really sci-fantasy, I just love the world of Fading Suns. Even if I’ve never played it, it just captures my fancy. I have the Victory Point books, the D20 books, but I think Stars Without Number might handle it really well!

My favorite horror setting, Masque of the Red Death, originally for AD&D 2nd edition Ravenloft, later adapted to D&D 3rd edition. A close seconds is Cthulhu by Gaslight. My favorite steampunk (before there was such a thing) is Space 1889. You can see a pattern here, lots of love for the Victoria era.

Favorite supers setting Legion of Superheroes, and there have sadly been too few sourcebooks for this series, only three that I know of, for the old Mayfair’s DC game. I own two of the three and sadly never got the adventure. Look at the cover below…
