It was probably Greyhawk, and I wouldn't be opposed to playing in it again, as-is, should I want to play D&D again.

Hrm. I think the implied setting in the Tunnels & Trolls Solo Dungeons probably qualifies? I think the humor might set it apart. I don't think I'd play T&T again. 🤷

The first face to face setting that I played was my buddy's homebrew setting (Enzopea). Special? Probably not? It's similar to most fantasy settings from the 80s.

I am playing in that setting again soon-ish. He's converting the system to D&D 5.5e. He's added Aasimar, Dragonborn, Tiefling, and Halfling (Hobbit) species to the original species. Other than that, it feels the same. I'm mostly concerned about the Superhero Fantasy aspects of 5e. Enzopea has always been High Fantasy, but 5e (IMO) is a different power level altogether.

If a game supports grid movement the rules will come with ranges in grid units (hexes, inches,squares...)
There will be grid places designed for the setting. and the setting will have a bunch of excuses for pcs to be in such places.

Running it theater of the mind, while still possible, will end up with a lot of unusable info and material.
I see it as an unsupported playstyle

A question suggested by [user=SeaofStars][/user]

What was the first campaign setting you played in? Beyond being the first, was there anything special to it? Would you play in that setting again? Is there anything you think would need to be changed?




Do you have a question you want asked as QOTD? Post here!
