I've been playing the Dungeons & Dragons table-top role-playing game since I was about 8 years old (that's when my dad brought home a bunch of the books that he'd found at a yard sale). I have also played many of the D&D computer games, such as the classic Pools of Radiance game. My favorite campaign setting was Planescape, but Forgotten Realms was a very close second. Myth Drannor always intrigued me and I was as giddy as a schoolgirl when they came out with a boxed set that detailed that most-famous of ruins!

Other campaign settings
Another one of my favorite campaign settings is the Planescape Campaign Setting, which I enjoy utilizing when my Toril-native adventurers stumble unwittingly through magical portals.

I've also played around with the Ravenloft setting, from time to time, and prior to Forgotten Realms I was a huge fan of the Dragonlance Campaign Setting.

It's hard to beat the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, though, for offering a variety of themes all in one setting. Depending on the continent, you could be fighting dinosaurs, riding flying carpets across the desert sands, or experiencing high fantasy along the Sword Coast. This ability to switch up the theme without having to re-roll characters or have my players learn a whole new set of common lore is what I love about the world of Toril.
