...but the other players said NO (usually with raised voices and clenched fists). As a player, GM, small arachnid--it doesn't matter, list away.
World of Warcraft...I know, I know, but I've always liked the setting and I can't stand MMOs. Every time I've tried, the rest of the group either hates the setting or plays online (and thus cannot go pen & paper with it).
Blackmoor
I would also love to try to play in the Warcraft setting, either as player or DM. But as DM, I am not sure what type of adventure to run, and keep thinking of being lame by going through the classic WoW storyline and just replaying the MMO, but minus the Cataclysm content, since I hated it. And with the new level cap being 100 in the upcoming expansion, just divide each MMO level by 5 to get the tabletop level of things.
My own homebrew world. I can come up with the world just fine, but coming up with an adventure arch that would be fun for others seems to be beyond me.
No one has said no, except myself due to the lack of adventure creativity.

I always wanted to run a Firefly game. Also a Aliens vs Predator game. And Blade Runner.
Actually, I took one of Philip K. Dick's other stories and used it as a oneshot for my friends. Have you read Second Variety, or seen the movie adaptation Screamers? If you have, just imagine the paranoia the players where experiencing. And it wasn't even that hard to DM.
I've always wanted to make a Timesplitters-style game where PCs are all torn from their respective timelines and thrown into a multiverse-shattering catastrophe engineered by an ancient race of near-gods to revive their almost-extinct civilization. The setting would be replete with strange anachronisms (T-rex in a space station or caveman with a laser blaster and cybernetic impants, anyone?), time travel, a completely changeable storyline with multiple endings, ect. I would love to run it, if people were interested. It would be like Chrono Cross, Chrono Trigger, the whole Timesplitters series, and more all in an epic campaign where PCs hop from as far back as when the campaign world was still cooling and the mortal races were first birthed to as far forward as the end of time itself when the stars burn out and all time melts into temporal chaos that brings about oblivion. Man, I love these types of idea! :3
If anyone is interested in the above setting I MAY be amenable to running it, so PM me if interested! ^_^
Freehold.
A planar adventure.
Something that ignores most "normal" civilization in favour of the exotic, with stuff like elves and humans being the exception rather than the rule.
Would take a fair bit of work to get going, but it would allow me to focus a lot more on the fun shenanigans that are part of planar adventures without having to bother with boring mundanity. I don't know, maybe it's just a change in context rather than a change in world.
Vritra, I could help you design it if you let me be a PC! You already know I like designing planar shenanigans my scaly friend! ^_^

Run: Post-apocalyptic after the gods have killed each other and left their final blessings/curses.
Play in: Ravnica, or one of the other MTG planes.

Petty Alchemy, I was discussing the very concept of a Ravnica campaign as one I may run in my EotS game for a future campaign.

Post-apocalyptic science fantasy setting, ie something like Adventure Time. Bonus points if it's a seemingly fantasy world full of magic and stuff but is actually set on our world after a world-wide cataclysm, so any tech items like cybernetics, plasma rifles, etc. come from these ancient ruins.

I would like to run an Eberron game that lasts more than 5 sessions. This is a cursed setting for me, as every time I get a game going, various real life situations conspire to kill it.
Legend of Zelda. I have run in this setting before, but it was when I first started GMing, and was a mediocre experience at best.
Fallout.
The Dresden Files.
And the most recent one to take my fancy is the world of the TMNT 2012 series. My Runelords group is taking a hiatus with one of our players changing jobs and another moving to a new house, so I might run a one shot. Want to use Pathfinder still, and am thinking of coming up with a random mutation table for character generation. Will probably set it in LA instead of NYC, to not conflict with continuity of the show too much, and bring in some enemies from other iterations of the series.

Cyperpunk Vampires in Space ( I tried...then 10 years later dead space came out, which is cyber-punk zombies in space)

I would love to play in one of those.

Not the real stone age...you want...no need....DINOSAURS...and bone weapons...

I'd love to play in the Thief setting. Though I'd not use PF probably something more suited like the new Dark RPG.
I snatched up the Dr. Who adventures in time and space but none of my gamers are familiar with the Who. Also, at least one actively hates the show. (He is one of those "if its too popular, he will hate it with no reason to" types)
Homebrew. I'd love to make up my own setting but my players never get into anything but published settings. I think its cause there is set canon and they can do their own digging. I ofered to make a wiki that everyone could have ability to help shape but that just ended up being too mcuh work for them. :(

I think the question was which one you would want to play in.
To run away from (and never be a player in): Eberron and Dragonlance.
I just ignore that, as it seems he has to take every opportunity when it comes to a thread with the word Setting in the thread to say just how much he hates Eberron.

I'd like a Mesoamerican setting.

Yeah pretty much, especially Gamma World. I kinda like my apocalypse to be vague, in the sense that no one knows how it really happened. In Gamma World you pretty much know what happened, whether in the newer version or the older ones. Still, it's pretty much right on the money for what I'd like to do.

How 'bout Final Fantasy or Aeon Flux? Those could be fun, no?
Well, someone did create a Final Fantasy d20, updated to Pathfinder. I downloaded their pdfs but haven't really looked them over too closely. So, Final Fantasy setting has been done and is on the web free to use. Less overall work on the DM's part, depending on how well done the person who created it did. So there's that.

Can't seem to find these. Where'd you pick them up?

I believe these are the ones: Final Fantasy d20 pdfs, and with a cursory look, I am certain they are the ones I speak of.

I think what you mean is "the approximate premise to the Might & Magic computer games"
I have always wanted to run a planescape style game especially around the city of doors. I love reading old settings and I had a great deal of fun with Ravenloft and Dark Sun but no one seems to like the idea of Planescape around here. I mean to me it seems like you can do so much with such a wide open mix, the stories almost write themselves.

Yes, well that's extremely disappointing to hear. I'd love to get in on more of that!
The Hamunaptra setting from Green Ronin
Eberron
The Hollow World from D&D Mystara (did I get that right?)
My homebrew Human only setting

Me, too. I started relatively late with D&D and would want to try out Planescape, Dark Sun and Ravenloft. Alas, Planescape loses a lot in translation to another language and no one I know is interested in playing the other two.
I also own the Dresden Files RPG PDFs, which I didn't use to play it yet.

Dark Sun
Final Fantasy VI
Planescape
That said, I run a homebrew setting, so 99% of what I want out of these I just import into somewhere in my setting and set a campaign there. Running a mostly-planar game is the only one that I have yet to manage.

I've seen this stuff before, and I love most of it. The one thing that really ticks me off with it (and this is entirely because I'm a total Final Fantasy VIII fanboy, so I understand that it's not a big deal for most people) is the misunderstanding of how the Gunblade works. They don't actually fire bullets, the trigger creates a shockwave that reverberates through the blade, causing further damage as it slices through. Anyway, not really an important thing, but it irritates me a bit.
As for settings I want to run... Hmmm. I've always liked Ravenloft, but the odds of getting anyone here to play it aren't high. D&D/Pathfinder games for us tend to stick to the core settings. For horror and so on, we go with World of Darkness or indie games like Don't Rest Your Head, but just once I'd really like to do a Ravenloft style game. Planescape as well.

I always wanted to do a Dark Soul's-esque game, at least with the themes of fallen god's, ancient land of the gods, after their age has died out. Seeing the big bad god as a shell of himself and hollow was really impactful.
