Kinda disappointed by the article (Waterdeep, but no Myth Drannor, or Icewind Dale, or Thay? No Underdark?!!?!), so in protest I'm gonna post the OG D&D world - Greyhawk - the origin of Vecna and the late, great Gary Gygax's personal campaign setting.

MODERATORS
Ngl kinda bad article imo. I would have chosen very differently. I agree just putting 'the far realm' is also kinda low effort.
I think focusing on just the material plane and the world's within would have been more than enough to choose from. Maybe just one world.
Listing entire outer planes is cheating. That's like listing Toril.
very pleased to see Sharn at #1. Eberron is by far my favorite D&D setting and imo still criminally underlooked
WoTC certainly loves to keep to Forgotten Realms for whatever reason
Easier marketing - "it's like lord of the rings etc"
It's not even though. Tolkein was very deliberate about what he included in his world, whereas Forgotten Realms is just "we need to make up some shit so that everything can go here"
I'm not talking about marketing to the likes of you and I I'm taking about mass marketing.
