    This is quite valid, and may make people (perhaps unconsciously) try to sabotage the voting. It might (read: probably will) do me, unless it turns me completely off.
    ...

    For voting, steampunk didn't work last I checked (Arcanum). Therefore I'm gonna vote Arabian Nights. Just remember that the original tales aren't even remotely kid friendly.

    As long as necessary. Honestly, since none of us has made a campaign setting in this manner before, we're not sure how long it will take to narrow down the choices. We'll just keep plugging away until it's done, I guess. I image that each option will have about 24 hours or so before we declare a victor, if that helps.

    I do my homework, cnsvnc, never fear. Look at the previous Vote Up A Villain. They voted fairy, I gave them a Celtic-inspired babystealer.

    Besides, I'm not sure that a hopeless plunge into self-parody should necessarily be called sabotage. I mean, doesn't ludicrous self-parody comprise the entirety of the Steampunk genre?

    That is still rather childish and against the spirit of the whole thing, in my opinion.

    High Fantasy has been done to death...so if it wins, why not vote to make it better? More unique?

    As much as I want a solid sci-fi option to show up one of these days in homebrew, it's likely not going to win, and to be honest with you this Desert Fantasy option actually intrigues me more. And it's not just because I was recently trying to come up with a post-apocalyptic campaign so I could have Desert Elves. No sir, not a bit. (And yes, I realize it's more Arabian-Nights inspired and not post-apocalyptic, but that actually sounds even cooler to me. And we still get to finally get those Elves out of their trees.)

    That, and steampunk seems overdone to me.

    western frontier in all likelihood it wont win but I'm voting based off of what I want, and the dustlands doesn't look like it is getting finished anytime soon, and that makes me sad. Although arabian nights sounds promising.

    Perhaps some other time, Luean.

    Or perhaps even this time. There's still a ways to go before this contest is called.

    Like someone else already said, voting to make it a satire/self-parody would be more unique, I think.

    Boy, the votes are quite diverse. It's good to know that so many genres have a loyal fanbase.

    Hey, way I see it, even if Victorian/Steampunk wins, we can always push it more towards "Victorian" than Steampunk. Something similar to the Victorian era, with its empires and racism and violence, would make an excellent backdrop for a fantasy game.
