I am rather partial to ancient ruins set in a thick forest. It may be due to the Conan and other Sword & Sorcery tales I read. Then there is Pax Tharkas from Dragonlance. There's just something cool about exploring ancient ruins, lost to modern civilization. There's always something vaguely familiar, even if only on an instinctive level, and yet so much of the unknown. You can run into just about anything in this kind of setting without having to think too hard about why it's there. And the treasures! Ancient treasures are the best.
I need to write some ancient ruins adventures now.
This is pretty much exactly the way I feel. There's just nothing like a good ruined city.
