Which D20 setting is your favourite?

I am not really a great lover of the D20 system but I came across a Witchfire Trilogy adventure by Privateer Press in my local RPG shop, I liked the cover, artwork and it sounded a cool setting. Ever since then I have been totally hooked on the Iron Kingdoms setting, with its mix of steam power, gunpowder, swords and sorcery.
I admit that not everyone is keen on "Steampunk" settings but this is not a "Steampunk" setting, the Iron Kingdoms is a fantasy setting with a little something extra. Yes it has gunpowder weapons and magical steam powered robots, but you also get Elves, Dwarves and everything else you would expect from a fantasy setting.
The current range consists of excellent Witchfire Trilogy Adventures, The Monsternomican and Lock & Load sourcebooks and the recently released Iron Kingdoms Character Guide which at 400 pages is keeping me busy with lots of new Iron Kingdoms information.
Well that is the setting that started me down the D20 path, I think its the best but if you have a great setting that you play for D20, tell us all about it and maybe we can all find something new.

Iron Kingdoms looks like very interesting one, and I heard that Ravenloft: Masque of the Red Death will have a d20 version, hope they will use all the potential that is in the world itself, without forcing a lot of limits on it.

planescape is still the coolest u can get, officaly there is no planescape d20, they published a new 'manual of the planes' and a the new 'planars handbook' besides those there is no real new stuff for it, they left most of the cosmology unchanged (some details changed 'the white mists of the astral plane' *eeeek* it is the silver void, damn morons) they streamlined some of the other enviorments (planartrades (gravity, time, magic, morphic))

PLANESCAPE RULES !!!

Re: Which D20 setting is your favourite?

It is all the planes + 1 city with portals to every plane combined, and the politics of that city You can see it in Planescape Torment.

Planescape made the planes themselves a campaign setting as opposed to a high-level stomping ground. It centered around Sigil, the City of Doors which theoretically had portals to just about anywhere. Besides the huge scope of the setting, since the outer planes are built on belief, belief can have a more direct effect than in other settings. It also involves powerful factions trying to impose thier views on the multiverse. I'd agree with the Elf, the Planescape: Torment computer game is an excellent introduction to the setting, and can be purchased inexpensively from a number of places.

This is the information age, there have to be several retailers online hungry enough for your money to ship there

If nothing else, ebay always has many copies for sale, most going $10 or less.
