Dear /tg/,
Me and my friends all really wanted to try classic RPGing but didnt know any DMs so with lack of a better alternative got into it.
Now six months later we have almost finished the starter adventure game(there is only an encounter with a young dragon left)
I am having a lot of fun DMing and my friends love playing so we want to start playing in a bigger campaign setting.
Any good suggestions?
>D&D v3.5
>current player lvl 3-4
>setting: classic low fantasy
>type: sandbox/multi paths
>players wishlist: a world containing big lively city

preferably a open source kind of setting in wich I am able to intergrate our first adventures and change some things around
OP, all settings are "open source", nobody cares what things you change in your own campaigns.
When it comes to D&D campaign settings, I am partial to ones with a strong unifying theme.
Ravenloft is a good one.
Ghostwalk has one book, but I love it.
Forgotten Realms is easily the largest and most supported setting, if you're into that.
Masque of the Red Death is a 19th-century gothic horror variant.
All settings have at least one big lively city.

Forgotten Realms is on top of my list, with Greyhawk and Planescape.
I find my players are more into gods dragons and knights rather then ghost and ghouls. Can i find this in Forgotten realms?
And/or can i easily use only parts of the world/stories?

Yes, of course.

You use as much as you want to use, and no more. There are no D&D ninjas coming to your hose forcing you to use more than you want.

If you're looking for your standard high fantasy world with elves, wizards and dragons then nothing beat Forgotten Realms.
The Realms are huge. There are hundreds of books out there. It's easily the most popular and iconic D&D setting that's been featured extensively in books and video games. There's a good chance at least some of your player's will have heard of Baldur's Gate, Waterdeep and Neverwinter.
You can use as much or as little of the Realms as you like. Personally, I recommend having your players start in a particular region like Cormyr or the Dalelands and setting the first few adventures in that region. There's no way you can learn the realms in and out before your session so just focus on one area to begin with.
