@Hriston I just undid your addition of Keep on the Borderlands -- it's an adventure, not a campaign setting. It wasn't set in any campaign setting when it was released, but was later assigned to Mystara (which is listed).

Dragon Fist isn't canon or at least now it isn't copyright by WotC, and Rokugan was more as "guest artist" in 3rd Ed Oriental Adventures.

I guess this brings up the question of what qualifies as a setting. To me, the fact that the keep and its environs isn’t set in any larger setting as published makes it, at least, its own mini-setting. I figured it would be controversial, though, and FWIW, KotB was also retroactively set in Greyhawk in Return to the Keep on the Borderlands.

It was a campaign setting... just because they don't have a copyright now, doesn't mean it shouldn't be on the list.

Was warcraft a WotC setting? I thought it was made by a 3rd party unless warcraft isn't the warcraft/world of warcraft RPG I'm thinking of.

I thought Jakandor was part of the Forgotten Realms. What world is it on?

Also, I don’t think either of the suggested settings for KotB (either Mystara or Greyhawk) are all that consistent with the (implied?) setting of the published adventure: the Realm in the West and the Lands of Chaos in the East, with the Borderlands between. I’m not too familiar with Mystara, but the placement in Greyhawk certainly doesn’t match what’s described in the adventure. Gary Gygax suggested the Pomarj as a good location within Greyhawk, however, but, as published, it’s really its own thing, kind of an Ur-setting for D&D.

Maybe settings WotC no longer has to rights to use should be in seperate part of the list.

Warcraft, Rokagan, ect... really while having books using D&D rules aren't apart of the D&D multiverse, as it is the MtG ones are a grey area, for for now I'd keep them eith the traditional D&D settings and Wildemount.

Do we want to include potential third party settings here as well?
