If we're voting for settings, I'm in favor of Eberron, with Forgotten Realms as second.
Having downloaded and read the Dragonmech campaign setting book, I have to say while it looks like a cool idea, the execution wasn't good. The changes are pretty weak mechanically, and while I haven't done numerical comparisons, I simply don't see how the Dragonmech stuff is supposed to compare with WoTC material. Definitely not in favor.
It's kind of a shame, really. I really like the idea of technology surpassing magic, but the way steam powers are implemented in DM, they're no match for a halfway optimized Wizard or Cleric.
Anyway...
DM, what's your policy on setting specific classes being played in other settings? For example, the Artificer class from Eberron being played in Forgotten Realms.
Also, do you have an opinion on homebrew material, like from
Dungeons Wikia?
As for my class, I prefer magic support classes, especially the Artificer. Wizard and Cleric are also fun. I typically play buffing/skillmonkey roles.
