My setting. Your setting.

>>50417840
Mine

There is no objective best setting, only people's favourites.

yOUR SETTINGS ARE SHIT.

I'm pretty fond of Uresia, but I'm pretty sure that's a question without a right answer, OP.

>>50417840
The setting that is yet to be written.

EVE Online has a pretty good setting

>>50417840
The setting which best enables the story you're trying to tell

depends on the setting

>>50417840
Sword of Truth.

RIFTS Earth is pretty fun, even if the system shows its age. Post-apoc tech and magic with dimensional refugees and horrors from beyond.

>good setting

The Rifts setting is incoherent garbage. A lot of fun to play, but literally open any book and you get shit like, "The Coalition, which owns a small part of the old USA, but somehow has a hyper-advanced arcology that covers the entirety of Chicago and fleets of advanced intercontinental bombers that are larger than the current US military."

None of it works if you apply a minute of thought to it, you just need to look past it all and think about how much megadamage you do.

Licensed settings? For D&D?

Eberron. It's unique, original, lets you play your race/class combo however you want, has a rich lore you can use or ignore as you please, and all the books and games are non-canonical, and the timeline doesn't progress beyond what the DM does with it. Magic has become industrialized to some degree, so it actually makes sense, unlike Generic Fantasy Land #43 Side A.

I prefer high fantasy for rule of cool and lots of fun.
Also goblins, orcs, demons, knights and all other fun stuff.

>>50417840
The setting that you enjoy most.

>>50417840
For me it's probably one of The Elder Scrolls, Malazan Book of the Fallen, and Ivalice.

But I can't really decide on one.

When it comes to "official" fantasy worlds and world-building, I honestly have to say that the only ones I ever cared outside of Tolkien's world were Elder Scrolls, Dune and to a limited degree, the world of original Homeworld, the game.
Otherwise, I find most game and traditional game related world-building pretty dreary for the most part.

Oh no you don't. I've been on this Ruse Cruise before.

I was going to say Tolkien's Middle-earth, but I don't really play many games set in it besides the LOTRSBG.

So probably 40K for playing games in, but Middle-earth for reading.

Somebody please explain the stories of Icewind Dale 1 & 2.
Or where can I find them? The wikis are shit and not detailed enough.
Is there something like the Imperial Library's description of old TES stories?

Talislanta is one of neatest small-niche settings out there.

Based on the weird fantasy works of Clark Ashton Smith, Jack Vance and others, it has some really neat exotic cultures and magic styles.
