The thread is debating whether the world should be described at all.

I'd be interested in hearing from folks that run DF without any real world described at all. I mean, my group, I just make it up and we game along and write it down. So we're creating a world through play. but, that's generally how I like to play games. Even when I ran D&D, I liked Greyhawk so much because the world wasn't over described like Forgotten Realms.
