With apologies to MuscledDestroyer, I present a new poll. Vote for your favorite and why.
Please choose only one. I screwed up.

I again went with Mystara. Normally FR would be my choice but I prefer FR back around the time of the first box set. I'd love to read Ed Greenwood's pre-publication material.

Still DragonLance, love the books, named my daughter Tanis, Kender and Thanoi rule!  Guess it comes down to having enough fluff memorized.  FR is really cool too, though I loathed my time spent playing in Ravenloft and Dark Sun.

Was torn....wanted to vote Dark Sun and Planescape, but went with Red Steel. I loved running it and my players still wanna play it and have me working on a 3e conversion.

Voted Planescape.
If I had multiple choices (well, technically I had...), I would have added FR, Greyhawk, Mystara and Ravenloft (and maybe Hollow world, though I only have 2 modules, but it looks cool. I'd have to read more about it to be sure).

I actually changed my vote I haven't played a whole lot in any commercial setting, mostly homebrew. However I've started playing in FR recently and i really like it. My single other experiences were Greyhawk and Raventloft.

Yeah, this is true with a lot of settings. I like Greyhawk for it's real-world history, and a few ohers for their novelty, but FR just has so much I could game in it for yars and still not visit all of it, or even a fraction of the history. I like it even more now that they are really going at it, with deep history lately. Like the Last Mythal series, and the Dragon rage series. Plus, major current events like the spider queens silence and the death of the blackstaff...

Hmm... looks like I'm the only vote for Conan and Lankhmar thus far.  Yeah I kinda had to vote for two, both of those settings are near and dear to my black heart.

Forgotten Realms was my choice, though nostalgia almost made me pick the Basic D&D setting as I was also pretty fond of playing an Elf, Dwarf or Halfling as a character class.

Homebrew. Any homebrew. It doesn't matter which. A given DM will always run his own world better than one that somebody ( or a mysterious committee of somebodys) else invented. But if I had to run a published setting, I'd pick greyhawk. The less canon the the better.

I prefer my home brews.

I voted greyhawk, as have gamed the most there. Plkus enough empty map areas for me to inserrt what I like.

I liked lankmar, conan, darksun, planescape a lot too.

Then would be ravenloft, dragonlance, spell jammer, al qadim, FR (never really held much for me).

I went with Planescape, though I've played mostly in Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms games - Planescape is my favorite. I'd like to see it supported in the new edition.

I don't really have a favorite campaign setting. I think that the flavor of campaign setting I would really like has not been made yet. Or, I am not familiar with all of the settings enough to recognize if there is one like what I would prefer. Therefore, I didn't vote.

I like Lankhmar a lot, I have more than one 2E book of it. But it's no FR for size...

Tough choice, I do love Greyhawk, but I really had to vote for Ravenloft. I'm an old gothic horror fan and I've loved the setting ever since it came out and have nearly every book on it.

I don't even know half of the settings.  D'oh!  Most of what I've played were home brews and a few of the newer modules.  The only one I don't like is Eberron.  No Dinos and Robots for me.

I would have picked Ravenloft back in the 2nd/3rd edition but with Eberron now out with tons of 3.5 stuff and my players really enjoying Eberron more then Ravenloft. My Vote goes to Eberron new campaign stuff is cool.

I'm new to DDM. But have played D&D for 13 years!
