I would like to post a poll to determine the exact split of Paizo's customers when it comes to their preferred campaign setting. But first I want to make sure that every setting deserving is mentioned. I have a good handle on the big ones but I am looking for the smaller less common settings that are seeing use. Post here and let me know if you are using a less common setting.
Also, how does one go about starting a poll on the Paizo boards. Is such a thing possible.
Please note that I am not looking to bash any particular setting, but I am curious to know where everyone is holding their adventures.

Ok, I played FR for years and switched over to Eberron when that setting appeared.
So, ONE for Eberron!
But, as I am halfway through Ptolus, I have to say, this will be the setting I am going to use after my present campaign.

And I have no idea how to start a poll here!
Not sure how to start a poll either, however, settings that come to mind for me that have d20 material are:
Forgotten Realms, so large it cloud be broken into differnt areas such as Shining South, Sword Coast, Etc...
Greyhawk
Dragonlance
Eberron
Oriental Adventures, including Kara-Tur, Mahasarpa and Legend of the Five Rings (d20)
Al-Qadim (no real offical 3.5E new info except for a small bit in Dragon Magazine)
I'm sure there are several other smaller, or off shoot settings, but as far as offical 3.5E settings produced by WotC I'm not sure. Settings like, Ptolus, Ravenloft, etc are d20 settings, but are they WotC property, and can Paizo produce material for these settings?

Hi,
maybe for such a poll, evryone replying "quote"s the last message...
For example, let's make a list (not exhaustive) of worlds / settings.
I guess everybody should be able to vote for 1 to 3 settings (I DM Greyhawk and play FR) :
Nobody mentioned Maztica, the lesser known cousin of Kara-Tur and Al-Quadim (which means "The Ancient" in Arabic now when I come to think about it...)
Maztica is based on Mesoamerica, chiefly the Aztecs and the Mayas.
And Birthright, which, in my opinion, is silly, but still...
Personally all my campagins are fantasy versions of 15th-18th century earth, with the first being set in Scotland, the second in the Great Reich (not the third, god forbid!) and this one is based on the New World.
My favorite setting is Dark Sun, but I never DMed in it.

_ The Styes: 1

I add 1 to Greyhawk, 1 to Dark Sun, and 1 to The Styes, because that's some bad mojo right there, killa.
But I think this poll is jacked up somehows, because there's no WAY Greyhawk is that popular in comparison to Eberron or FR.

Greyhawk is my favorite, and given a FR,EB, or GH product I'll go GH first. That said, I'm one of those disrespected consumer boys who likes to own it all. I support any and all D&D game worlds, even if I don't currently run campaigns within them. I support gaming, gamers, and the right for people to dance naked atop blimps. That's just me.

Maybe Eberron and FR's fans are working and not wandering around this site, checking nice new threads...
Since I live in France, I am home (it's 11 pm), wandering around this site...
Go back to work, you FR and Eberron supporters... don't vote, PLEASE, DON'T VOTE (my hypnotize spell doesn't have a very high DC...).

I have added one for Forgotten Realms and Eberron (I've DM'ed in both.) And I added the Council of Wyrms update I've just started for a small group. (Draconomicon helps out with this.)

Don't forget to use the "reply" function, it's easier to count the votes...
I added Martin Michaud and Ogre_Bane's vote (+2 Eberron, +1 FR).

I loved DragonLance and played that exclusively until the whole War with Chaos BS, so that's one vote for that. I've since transferred my allegiance to the Realms, so I added a vote for that as well.

it seems like you wrote slower than other Paizo's buddies..., so I corrected it (Averil + Hurmferd)

I currently run a campaign in the Forgotten Realms (+1) and frequently take sidetreks into Raveloft (+1). I can't wait for Expedition to Castle Ravenloft!

I run GH, and play in a FR campaign and a soon to be started Ptolus campaign, so I added +1 GH, +1 FR, +1 Ptolus. My fellow DM's won't post here usually, so I did it for them.
Can I do a point buy? I want to add 2 to my Greyhawk so I'll subtract 4 from my Eberron. I'm a fighter, so I don't really need a very high Eberron.

Added 1 to Greyhawk, 1 to Al-Qadim, and 1 to Iron Kingdoms. But those are really settings I write for; my home games are usually homebrew with elements of those three.
Tell me more about these monkeys. Any relationship to the ones in Dragon a while back?

I added one each to FR and Homebrew.
As an aside, this is a great poll, and I appreciate its value. Someday, however, it might be fun to find out who plays Call of Cthulhu, Traveller, and a dozen other games that step outside of the swords-&-sorcery context, whose heritage also goes back in time.
Greyhawk in the lead. Guess that Wizards will release the Greyhawk setting just before 4th edition as the other sales start to plunge or they are waiting until 4th Edition to release it at all. Just a stupid marketing decision IMO.
