Phaedorás, the Age of Legends
by Raelifin
Setting Thread
Discussion
An ancient world of monsters and bloodshed, Phaedorás is a bronze-age, alien world. Instead of humans, beast-men called omaku struggle against one another in the shadows of the wilds. System-independant, Phaedorás is a breath of fresh air from d20 systems, and features a detailed, massive, ethocentric design. All animals, monsters, races, myths, plants, languages, magics, fashions and civilizations are totally unique to the world. So come visit Phaedorás, and leave the mundane behind!

ADMC - Anno Domini 1100
by MAK
Setting wiki

The First Crusade has given Christian lords a tenuous foothold on the Holy Land and survivors spread the news of unbelievable splendors and riches of the East. Strange, ancient magic has been uncovered and traveling previously unthinkable distances has become commonplace. The feudal rulers scheme against each other even more furiously as before, so the time is right for building one's fortune.

Starting as a setting for only slightly house ruled D&D, ADMC has evolved over 5 years to a d20-system of its own.

Asilikos: World in Ruins
Knight of Ravens

Asilikos: World in Ruins
Asilikos is a world wracked by an apocalypse that will neither reach its conclusion nor resolve itself into quiescence. Ruined by a war of cosmic proportions that has left most life and divinity dead or changed, it hangs on by the merest thread due to the stubborn wills of its inhabitants and the unforeseen consequences that averted total disaster. What you knew before is gone; what is ahead, none may say.

Savage Earth
Keith Curtis

The Savage Earth is a setting of fabulous lost technology living alongside high magic and barbaric splendor. It is our own planet in the distant future. Some great catastrophe has tipped the planet on its side, throwing the world into ecological chaos from which only now is civilization re-appearing. It is a post-apocalyptic fantasy deriving inspiration from such works as Thundarr the Barbarian, Kamandi-the Last Boy on Earth, and the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs. The site is richly illustrated and detailed.

Battles of the Star Angels and Space Devils
David Petrie

Display Thread
A tactical game set in a far distant future where humans are threatened by an alien race to become soul cattle. Players pilot giant bio-robots and starships in scenarios, and across an ever expanding theater of interstellar war. But blood and oil are not their only concerns.
Dissident factions of humans have aligned with the aliens in secret, planting the seeds for political intrigue and espionage to uncover the diabolical plots to destroy the humans race as it is known.
Currently in the R&D stage of development, as mechanics are not complete, nor is there more than a few simple blurbs of flavour text. Help requested.

 Setting Thread
 Discussion Thread  

This is a cruel world, where Humankind has been driven from its homelands by a terrible war, and forced into conflicts for territory in an alien continent peopled by ancient races.
Reth Jaleract is a violent world, inspired by the dark fantasy and sword & sorcery genres. Battle and cruelty abound in almost every corner of the land. Life is cheap, and there is ample opportunity for mighty heroes to arise.... if they can survive long enough.

Ice Horn Seas
MiniMan

Ice Horn Seas is Recruiting. Theere are multiple GMs and the game takes place in Porthia, a homebrew world. New players should use the url node in OpenRPG (below) to get infomration on start level and game times, allowed books and more.  It is regurally updated.

Games are at random times and the GM's use a pool of 15-30 players. Whoever shows to a game may play (up to 6-10 players in a session). I try to announce games about a week ahead of time by posting them on the game calendar and I try to vary game items so everyone can get a game. I'll run with as few as 2-3 players and as many as 10 players.

I would like to see people try to take the new classes and races, so take your time making a character. Look for something cool to play.  Because Icehorn uses a player pool it's always recruiting players and GMs. I am happy to teach the game as well.

Afterworld
Alexius Carthwall, Cartographer by Trade

Link to Wiki Site  (Just created so I am still in the process of uploading several more pages of information)

A Discussion page will be coming soon, however, in the meantime, comments on the Wiki Discussion Page are wonderful :).

Brief Overview:
Being one of the few who still remain alive, I remember the time when the sun wasn't covered by the dust and ash that keeps the world perpetually in a state of shadowy existence. I remember the enormous cities and towering spires before their defenses were destroyed by the magic eaters and their buildings turned to rubble by invading forces. I remember a time when common folk did not have to fear the shadows that stalked the night and would tear the flesh from your bones in an instant. I remember a world before Afterworld, a world where people dreamed of attaining higher things, a world where people didn't hide inside their small towns for fear of their lives and slowly wither away.

 Afterworld is a world in which the former glories of an age of magic have been demolished by an onslaught of otherworldly creatures. Now much of the world lays in ruins and what few points of light in the darkness still glow, cling together to fend off the overwhelming shadows.

[Pair o' Dice Lost]

Here's another one for you.

The Living World of Glaesra
Pair o' Dice Lost
Setting and Discussion
Glaesra is a world where babbling brooks actually babble to you, forests don't stay in the same place very long, you might live next door to a creature of stone, and every city-state has one goal--stop the aberrations who are invading from Outside, and who want to kill everything from the biggest ocean to the smallest blade of grass.  Magic of many sorts is ubiquitous, granted by the almighty gods (who aren't really all that mighty) as they defend the planes, by fearsome primordials (who aren't so fearsome once you get to know them) as they walk the Material, and by the mysterious demiurges (okay, those really are mysterious) to anyone brave enough to find their ancient tomes of arcane secrets.

Xearic

       http://thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?55665

   Xearic is a traditional fantasy setting using 4th edition D&D rules. It may be traditional, but it has a detailed history and geography, and many races, all of which are described in great detail. Xearic also has some twists and rules that were sometimes tweaked and sometimes changed completely. Xearic itself is one huge supercontinent, spanning from the north pole to the south pole, and growing wider near the center. A great sea splits it in half. Races battle for survival in this harsh place, while civilization struggles to hold on in some places, warlords create great thriving empires in other places.

         Tersnia is an original new campaign setting, taking place on a world covered in a vast carpet of jungle, occasionaly interupted by a lava feild, a small lake or sea, or a mountain range. Here, the race of humans live enclosed in their walled and protected cities, hiding from the harsh and unforgiving world. Yukums, a race of bipedal gorilla like mammals, live primally in tribes out in the wilderness. Two races of reptiles struggle for survivial, one living as hunters and rangers in their treetop cities, the other living in caves, farming small reptiles and practicing magic.
