System Neutral Settings

I was wondering if anyone could suggest any system-neutral settings with an eye toward sandbox content. Thanks!

Typically, a setting is created specifically for a particular system as it needs to include stat blocks for NPCs, monsters, items, as well as mechanics for resolving any of the special features for the setting.  A setting that is system neutral would simply be a collection of maps, tokens, and other art assets. It would also include story-driven content but wouldn't include mechanics like difficulties for skill challenges.  I'm not aware of anything like that and would think this would be something you just put together yourself. For example, if you wanted to play Star Wars using 5e D&D, you collect the maps and tokens that you need and then create the mechanics to fit the preferred system. You could then use any Star Wars story as inspiration for your adventures. 

Thanks!

Actually, I think system agnostic settings would be awesome.  People are always converting settings from one system to another. That conversion could be a lot easier without the baggage of an "official" system.  If someone did the the world building and provided the stuff for adventures, I'd probably snatch that stuff up (assuming the setting interested me).  All the character sheets need are a name, a token, and a bio. The Bio could include basic info on what are the characters strengths and weakness (just speak in normal terms) and I as the GM would be able to assign what I feel the appropriate values are to stats, etc. The great thing about Roll20 is all the character sheets have the same name field for the character and the Bio & Info field aren't even part of the character sheet, so it could all be set up automatically. I purchased the D&D Monster Manual for my Savage Worlds games, because it has great artwork and tokens, and when dragged onto the table top, I just use the Bio & Info tab to figure out how to state the monster for Savage Worlds. I've done the same thing for certain D&D modules...I purchase them not for the stats, necessarily, but for all the other prep work that goes into designing an adventure and setting it up. For traps and the such, just indicate how difficult the challenge is to overcome (easy, average, difficult, very difficult)...

It is sounding like any kind of setting content at all would be good. Even if the setting came with sheets for a specific setting, as long as you had the maps, bios, location info, token art, etc..., you could convert it to whatever you wanted.  I'm actually working on a post apoc town that has all of that. It is for the Open Legend system, but one could easily do as you mentioned and convert it to whichever system they wanted. It would be cool to have the same for other genres as well. I am curious though. Are there settings available on Roll20? Or is that just something that was never done yet?

I think the closest I've found would be some campaign books...I think Kobold Press has some, etc. Otherwise, I've not found full-blown settings, yet. Edit: When your post apocalyptic town is done, share a link...I love post apocalyptic stuff and often find ways to incorporate it into my various games. :)
