XYCat: Buffyverse where nobody of the protagonists is ever allowed to finally graduate from high school
Well - Xander is IIRC the only one of the young scoobies that doesn't go to college (from season 4 on). The high school being burned down at the end of season 3 (of 7!) is kind of a symbol, don't you think?
Count me in, I'll enter with "The Land" from the Thomas Covenant series. What I really enjoy about this world are the many different races, with rich histories and interesting lore to go with them. There's the honour-bound Bloodguard, evil demondim spawn, rock-eating cavewights, fireproof Giants, intelligent horses and so many more races and peoples, each with their own unique histories that span across many ages. Lord Foul the Despiser and his Ravers are some pretty badass bad guys as well! :)
Ok i'm in.

I'd have to say my favorite world is the HEAVILY modded Skyrim world that really shines above the base release. Kudos to that whole mod community!

in addition as stated earlier by iphgix... .."which is awesome because when I am playing the games, every single young girl is
a. Hot
b. ready and willing for me. "

plus C. I have a necklace that can pretty much score me even the married ones.

I guess I'm also assuming/insisting that I'd actually be this Dragonborn guy, cause really, the whole world is his (or mine, you get the drift)

I also really loved the whole Forgotten Realms world by TSR for AD&D paper & pencil back in the day and I still horde all my old stuff, like a good gaming nerd might. The Volo's guides and City supplements really fleshed that world out. Fine work by ED Greenwood.
Ohhh, looks like Thespian* realllly wants the game, but feels guilty because he won something recently *whistle*

Well I'm in for THESPIAN*, and not whomever he decides to be in for later ;D Muwahahaa~

Now, favorite fictional world. That's tough. There are a lot of things I love about Anne McCaffrey's Pern series, but I would NEVER want to live in that society.

How about... Kevin Hearne's The Iron Druid Chronicles. That would be THIS world, THIS society, but druids are real, every god from every culture is real, witches, vampires, werewolves... all hidden right here and/or in their respective planes of existence.

Wait... That's kind of frightening. That's not going to work! lol~ I'll be back if I can think of something! :D

I'm in!

I have to say my favorite fictional world is The Federation from Star Trek: TNG! It's a place where the earth has unprecedented peace and everyone has food and shelter. People are free to pursue their own dreams!
Thanks, Tooms, for giving away what seems to be a very underrated RPG. I just watched a couple of minutes of YouTube reviewteria and am already convinced this should be a fun experience. Appreciate you brought that title to my attention! Flung it down into the wishlist dungeon.

Please consider me in for this.

The Malazan Empire out of Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen. Beautifully realized (no wonder, Erikson is as much an anthropologist as a writer), it offers a diverse range of interesting, often scary places - scary, if you imagine one would have to wander these. I have read seven of the ten books, a real recommendation.

New Port City (Niihama) from the Ghost in the Shell series. Likely the story depth makes me love the universe here too. The 1995 film is why I'm fond of Cyberpunk as a genre. I'm familiar to some extent with Asian environments, a particular blend of modern and traditional surroundings, cold high tech and spiritual spillover. Watching GitS makes me nostalgic in that sense, aware of how and what I personally miss about these environments.
Please count me in for Two Worlds. My favorite fictional game world is Rapture from BioShock 1 because of the way its ideals went so horribly wrong and the ways that the game conveys that. Thank you for making this giveaway. +1

More than 20 posts and no one mentioned 'A Song of Ice and Fire'? Love this forum!

Thank you, Tooms. I'm not in.

So, it's hard to choice only one favourite.

The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny. Infinite worlds, which are just shadows of the one true world. It's magnificent. And very interesting story about a prince of the Universe.

Noon Universe created by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. Great series, which evolved from optimistic heroic predictions to serious 'social' and 'psychological' (I'm not sure this terms are correct in English) science fiction. Perfect world of future, which we will never see.

The Great Crystal series by Wladislaw Krapiwin. Universe is the crystal, and every its face is the world. There are many independent novels, but every story takes place inside the Crystal. And perhaps Crystal is thinking.

Nirn from The Elder Scrolls series. Big interesting magical world with a rich history kept in many books, legends, mythos, stories etc. And Sheogorath with his own Oblivion plan, of course!

Already mentioned world from the Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski. History and politics, Dark Ages and Time of Contempt, the Elder Speech, and really living characters. I don't like the Saga since novel 'Chrzest ognia' (main characters and story are getting really strange), but world and its 'lore' is masterpiece.

J. R. R. Tolkien's Arda, I think, needs no introduction.

This list might be bigger, but it will be too much flood. :)

And I think Antaloor is nice world too. :)

RWarehall: An early favorite was "The Land" from the Thomas Covenant books. Probably because it was the most adult stories I had read to that point as a teen.
Definitely entering for RWarehall, that's one of my favorite universes as well, though I must say I prefer very much the first trilogy to the second one. ;)

You're evil, genki. Truly evil... I don't know if I should thank you or be pissed off. :D

Well, gonna chose the first option: thank you! ;)

I bet. :D
Fictional World? Of course Forgotten Realms!!!. Aber Toril is so large, diverse and flixeable that everyone can fins something to love and hate in it!!!.

I am in for the giveaway btw. Thx in advance
It is very hard to decide. I love the Forgotten Realms especially because of the old Bioware games, I love the Star Wars universe because let's face it it's cool to imagine being a Jedi. And I could go on for long :). The latest fictional universe that captured me is the Malazan world. It's a dark and unwelcoming place, yet it also has great heroes, greater evils, and often unexpected twists. Not in but thanks for your generosity.
Some interesting worlds you all have suggested so far, a lot of them familiar, but not all. I'll have to check them out!
Thank you Tooms. I'm in.

My favourite world is Forgotten Realms. Such a vast world and so many games in it!
