A couple of the most famous and unique forests are in Barsaive in
Earthdawn. The Blood Wood is the result of elves altering the nature of the forest and themselves, bringing pain to all who dwelt within the Wyrm Wood to make them unpalatable to the Horrors after their wooden kaers failed. The Blood Wood has creatures, plants, and elves pierced by thorns and blood and sap everywhere. The Poison Forest is a unique forest where the cycle of life and death have ended in decay for all that dwell within the forest with creatures trapped between the states of life and death.
One of the more interesting forests lately is the Great Forest in
Saga of the Goblin Horde in
Savage Worlds. The home of the forest humans, it has an interesting mechanic brought about by Forest cards. The Forest cards are small encounters that accentuate the daily dangers of walking through the Great Forest. These twelve cards add hazards and enemies to the journey within the forest while not taking up too much game time. Since Saga is free I recommend checking it out and investigating its Ambush and Forest card mechanics at the very least.
