==Campaign Settings== ===First-Party=== *[[Greyhawk]] - The default setting for the edition. Despite this, books rarely mentioned it beyond the deities and it only got a grand total of '''one''' book dedicated to the setting, the 32 page (plus a map and the covers) ''Gazetteer''. [[RPGA]] ran multiple campaigns in it however. *[[Forgotten Realms]] - Basically the same as normal D&D, but with a huge basement called the Underdark, which gave us a never-ending stream of [[Drizzt|Drow edgelords that everyone hated]]. *[[Eberron]] - called "dungeonpunk", and winner of the "make a new setting for D&D" contest. Its whole thing is taking the existence of magic to its logical conclusion: people would industrialize that shit. Naturally, this is where [[warforged]] come from. ===Official Licensed Third-Party Campaign Settings=== *[[Dragonlance]] - Basically the same as normal D&D, but with [[Kender|Kenders]] and Tinker gnomes, arguably the worst player races ever. It also had like 6 or 7 different sub-races of elves for god knows what reason. Most of the Third Edition Dragonlance stuff was licensed to third parties who had more experience with D&D than anyone who remained at WotC did; Margaret Weiss and Sovereign Press were actually ex-TSR employees who had worked on the game's first and second editions. This would be like if Blizzard had licensed Runic Games (AKA Flagship Studios, AKA Blizzard North, AKA Condor) to develop Reaper of Souls. *[[Ravenloft]] - Originally a single dungeon and then a campaign setting throughout the game's first two editions, Ravenloft got licensed to White Wolf for Third Edition. White Wolf promptly went ahead and designed a whole new fucking game bolted on top of the 3.0e rules set, and published it under their new "Sword & Sorcery" label. *[[Kingdoms of Kalamar]] - Originally created by Kenzerco as a campaign setting that was "game-agnostic" on paper, but in reality was designed exclusively to be used with D&D. WotC officially licensed this setting as a D&D product when they realized that they had no legal way to cock-block Kenzerco and figured that they might as well make money off of it. Feel free to pretend that this one doesn't exist since its rules additions are notoriously bad. ===Frequently Mistaken for 3rd Edition Settings=== *[[Ghostwalk]] - literally only a single book, describing a passageway to the world of the dead that could be integrated into any of the existing campaign settings, or be part of its own that was never developed. *[[Rokugan]] - Where the game "[[Legend of the Five Rings]]" takes place. This was going to be a D&D Third Edition setting too, but some legal bullshit happened and Rokugan ended up being spun off into its own separate L5R game based on Third Edition rules. Before that happened, however, Oriental Adventures got a 3.0e update which incorporated a lot of Rokugan/L5R stuff and was meant to pave the way for Rokugan being a D&D setting. *[[Dark Sun]]/[[Athas]] - Never got an official 3e update. However, WotC acknowledged the existence of an unofficial fan-made update, which tricked a few really stupid people into thinking it was a 3e setting. *[[Planescape]] - Never got an official 3e update, though bits and pieces of it were mentioned in the Greyhawk books, which tricked a few really stupid people into thinking it was a 3e setting. *[[Spelljammer]] - Yes, the Neogi did appear as a playable race in [[Lords of Madness]], but that doesn't count as updating all of Spelljammer for 3e. *[[Masque of the Red Death]](Gothic Earth) - You'll never find a 3e Gothic Earth book unless it's part of the Ravenloft setting.
