Depends on the setting.
>>45522448
>>45522461
No, there can only be one objectively superior setting.
>>45522609
Kek, it's funny because you're pretending to be retarded, but that's actually a retarded thing to do in its own right. :^)
A multiverse setting in which all possible settings exist.
>No contact of any kind is possible between universe.
>Nearly no universes even know there is a multiverse.

There. A setting that contains all settings that may or may not interract.
>>45522752
Depends on the players.
>>45522429
Your own
>>45522752
>few
>nearly no
But that's still an infinite number.
And there's also an infinite number of shitty settings in here, which means your setting probably breaks even at best.

My setting. High Fantasy 400 years after most magic got sucked away, now filled with dieselpunk/atompunk stylings, 1950's level technology, warring Great Houses, and endless cosmic horrors trying to open the door to reality...
>>45522609
but that's the answer, the best setting is the one the players enjoy, that's the objective answer
>>45523122
>that shitty God-tier
Wow. That is some fierce bad taste there. That covers 40k and every generic-as-fuck "fantasy" setting out there like Forgotten Realms.
>>45523122
>Tolkien-esque fantasy

>Separate categories
I don't understand.
Is this some sort of new PRC propaganda technique?
>>45523171
No, because they might be enjoying something shit.
You're objectively a hipster relativist. Tip harder, fedoralord.
>>45523223
High fantasy doesn't necessarily have orcs, elves, halflings and dwarves.
That anon is someone who thinks a fantasy setting can only be god-tier if it does. Be sure to point and laugh.
>>45523236
>game
>having fun
seems like you missed the... objective.
>>45523257
>High fantasy doesn't necessarily have orcs, elves, halflings and dwarves.
So Tolkien-esque just means having elves and dwarves etc?
Because I'd argue here's a bit more to Tolkien than that.
>>45523334
There is, he's a retard who thinks D&D counts as Tokien-esque because they have derivative races, ignore him.
>>45523301
>>45523460
Gygax literally did not understand half-elves when he ripped tolkien off. He was very confused on the issue. Where are the half-dwarfs hmm? What's with the half-orcs? The fact that they just rolled with it after all these years still make me smirk.
My setting is objectively the best.
For being a DnD setting, Eberron is actually pretty cool and fits in a bunch of genres, from standard fantasy to pulp to war to Shadowrun (dragonmarked houses = corps).
>>45524748
>the campaign setting's world is the head of a god resting on the tits of his waifu
>>45524929
>>45525162
>still would
>>45524434
Saying like there's no other good D&D settings...
They have some great worlds, and some shitty ones. Likewise they have great supplements and adventures for both, and shit ones for both.
>>45525239
But... how?
>>45522752
>a setting in which all possible settings exist
That's stupid, my setting includes your setting as one of its settings (but also includes each individual setting/combination of each in to appeal to all tastes).

Set up camp on each of the Twin Peaks
And then I jack off onto the face from its highest point
>>45526294
It has to be hundreds od feet or more from the breasts to the face; that would be quite the sniper shot.
>>45525162
Well, guess I'm going to have to fuck a mountain.
>>45525395
Well, the thing is that DnD has had a lot of setting that were actually bad fits for DnD.
Birthright, Ravenloft and Planescape are all settings that would have been better off having entirely their own system.
>>45522429
>>45523097
Yeah but it also includes settings where traveling between them is impossible so it's fine.
>>45522429
I'm partial to some Unknown Armies style modern fantasy myself. But if it were to be a single setting, it would have to be a universal one. I think Dungeons: the Dragoning is a good example of one, because in addition to housing an unlimited number of worlds and content within it, the highest level remains one at which adventure happens; although you can become king of a universe or whatever, it's not better than doing space opera stuff.
>>45527454
Why Planescape? It seems to fit D&D fine, to the extent that anything does.

Man, what a terrible thread. To actually answer your question OP, it's post-apocalyptic. That's the superior setting for make-believe games. Everybody can go home now.

If we're talking about future apocalypse, I totally agree. Cool lasers and shit, but with the smaller focus that allows for fantasy-style quests and individual heroics without having to contend with mass communication, planetary police forces, interstellar culture and so forth.
If we're talking about modern day apocalypse, I find it confining and rather boring.
But Anons....
Does the setting that is a multiverse containing all settings... contain itself? Are there not an infinite number of multiverse-destroying things everywhere? Is the multiverse contained? Aaaaaaaaaaagh!
>>45525644
Spelunking of course.
>>45522609
Depends on the objectivity.
>>45523871
>Where are the half-dwarfs hmm?
Moradin won't allow it.
Corellon is more liberal about that sort of stuff
>>45530860
>Hardest metal known to man.
That's obviously diamond.
>>45531872
It's katana followed closely by gundanium. Double diamond is third though.
>>45527144
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
>>45522609
>>45523171
There will be one setting that objectively will be enjoyed the most on average, if introduced to every group. So in that sense, this setting would objectively be the 'best' as the players are an unknown in this scenario and we're looking for the setting they're most likely going to enjoy.
>>45522752
Add skulls and a coat of black paint, and you just described 40k. Which is why it's awesome.

>>45522429
Setting, you said. Not system. As in, which line of adventure modules is best, not which rules set is best.
Forgotten Realms. Plenty of variety without going too far into snowflake-ism.
>>45531302
Different board, different board culture. If it pains you, remember that nobody is forcing you to come here.
>>45532265
Maybe it's King Diamond.

Even middle ages fantasy apocalypses can be fun. My gm once ran agame set in 1300's europe with the caveat that ayy lmaos invaded 200 years prior.
So it was a bastard mix of high and low technology, half terraformed landscapes and no real government anywhere.

OP said "superior setting", not "most boring, generic garbage-bin fantasy setting possible".
>>45535383
At some point, pretending to not get the joke just makes you look foolish.
>>45533473
Damn, that sounds pretty cool.
>>45523171
>but that's the answer, the best setting is the one the players enjoy, that's the objective answer
actually this is not 100% true, they may be liking something because the few amount of stuff they know.

the time travel setting would fuck with it.
>>45523122
Science fantasy is absolute shit, it's the worst parts of both high fantasy and science fiction.

Your memes are useless here.
The other day someone made a thread about the Wilderlands of High Fantasy and I'm sold.
Want high fantasy? Low magic? Gonzo? Aliens? Guns? It can all fit in there, or not, your choice, without changing a single word of the published setting.
Obviously this is still D&D-esque fantasy, but you could totally advance the timeline for your Shadowrun or Apocalypse World campaign.
>>45527144
I enjoy kill Six Billion Demons, but I can't imagine running a setting like it. It'd sound like someone trying to tell you about their boring dream.
>So anyway there's, like, a bunch of monster people everywhere and there's like the this Buddha-looking guy, but his head looks like a geode or something? Anyway here's a bunch of Wayne Barlowe and Thomas Mohrbacher paintings I downloaded off the internet. Just imagine everything looks like this, I guess.

>Grace Harvey is a second-year PhD Student in English (College of Arts).
>Her thesis, provisionally entitled ‘The Politics of Friendship in the 1790s Radical Novel’, is principally concerned with the literary representation of the politics of friendship, that is politics in friendship, and friendship in politics.
>More specifically, her research seeks to query how the word friend is often interchanged or substituted for other relationships including teacher, patron, brother, colleague, husband, father, and so forth. Triangulating the novels of William Godwin, Thomas Holcroft, Charlotte Smith and Robert Bage with their political treatise and personal documents, her research draws significantly on hitherto unacknowledged examples of life-writing to establish how these novelists understand friendship against the backdrop of 1790s radical politics.

What is wrong with her ? Can't she properly put it on, or should she use her claws ?
Anyway, depend on your personnality as a GM and as a Player.
I'd rather play in a fantasy setting, also play in it, even if a STALKER one can get my dick hard.
