emerald.bbboy.net/merginboard-viewthread?forum=3&thread=8  For my money: Ravenloft all the way. No need for any plots or inspiration. Just undead walking around trying to kill you. Go kill them. But the thing that makes it good is the plots amongst the cool bad guys there. Straed and company were fun to beat up time and time again.

Planescape for the great possibilities and beings. All is posible through the portals of your mind. The whole multi-verse is located in my brain. Really though sometimes on the fly I explane the DnD multi-verse to random people to see thier reactions as explain the nine layers of hell and its rulers. Many eyebrows have been raised as I describe the many veried types of devil and deamons and the blood wars. Ravenloft is also cool but limited in scope and creativity. Rob and great written modules made it cooler than the Idea as a whole. Alas D n d is dying as the kids of today are slaves to the imaginations of others. I still don't know if I have every had a quasi-original thought but I keep trying. tangent....tangent....ramble.....death....

Planescape was cool and it emcompassed so much.
It is especially cool for experienced players who have seen everything else. However they made everything so bizarre that it became virtually undescribable. You really need some point of refernce to undertsand a concept. So for me many of their concepts were beyond any real understading. Plus making the outter planes an adventuring setting for all levels cheapened the planes as a whole. Like nobody below 15th level shoudl survive for more then a few seconds in hell. But still Planescape was fat.

I think DnD is losing to online Everquest type stuff. I heard they were doing something with DnD like that on XBox or something, but I started and stopped video games with Genesis, so I know nothing. Those type of quick interactive games are great, since you can fight anyone anytime, unlike typical storyboarded games, but they lack that creativity that you can only get with personalized gaming. Not to mention the entire social aspect. Who can forget BBQ and sitting downwind afterwards?
I drafted kids into DnD in college by watching them play video games and joke about what they could not do in the game (kidnap Donkey Kong's kid and randsom him back, whatever) and telling them they could do all that and more inside the realm of DnD. It worked.
I remember Rob explaining Planescape to me in high school and I think all I could do was raise my eyebrows and shake my head. It made no sense at the time. I kept getting stuck on the notion of the different box sets as different planes instead of part of the material plane (Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, etc.).
