Mine is a tie. My first and nearest to my heart was "The Known World" later called Mystara. But I quickly adopted Greyhawk. So when I ran games it was Mystara, but playing it was Greyhawk. Around 1986 or so my then DM and I decided to merge our worlds. We called "Oerth 3", not very original I know.
Many years later I discovered this map by Chatdemon based on an idea by James Mishler. It was exactly what I was trying to do. Plus this map was so much better than mine.
So my favorite game world of all time is Mystoerth!
Neat idea, I'd never heard of a Oerth/Mystara blend before!
ReplyDeleteI remember reading about this mash-up when I first discovered your blog a couple years ago and went through a bunch of your older posts. Sounds like a really cool idea.
ReplyDeleteI put just straight-up Mystara. It always seemed more exotic and magical to me than Greyhawk. This might sound weird but Greyhawk always seemed a bit "standard" to me. I think it has to do with Gary's wargaming background, so when you read the country write-ups in the old Greyhawk boxed set, instead of getting cool ideas to inspire you to adventure in that particular country, you get "the Kettites field a strong force of pikes and crossbows along with with horse archers and medium lancers."
