30 Day D&D Challenge: Day 4 Favorite Gameworld

This was tough and it covered several worlds.  I really like Planescape and had a long fling with Dragonlance.  I've devoted much time to the Forgotten Realms and wished I'd spent more time in Dark Sun.  But my favorite DnD world is...

Ravenloft.  Hand down.  I think I've purchased every version of the setting and have a deep fondness for it.  I won't lie, back in the heyday of ADnD 2E, I really wished for playable monsters and when White Wolf took it over during the 3.X era, part of me secretly hoped they would to a treatment of it using the World of Darkness rules.  But I still love Ravenloft and Strahd Von Zarovich and most games I run have, at minimum, a hint of horror.

Hopefully, we'll see some version of it for DnD Next, but no matter what, the mists of Ravenloft move through my games.

Ashes Without Number

Even though my interest in the OSR has waned a bit I still really appreciate the work that Kevin Crawford has down with Stars Without Number...
