Think of it like a recipe for pie. The recipe is time honored, the oven cooks evenly, the cook is really good at pie-making. The apples are perfectly ripe, the dough is the exact right texture, the spices are perfectly blended. And the pie pan is covered in cracked teflon which can leak PFCs into the food, build up in your body, increase the risk of cancers and other serious illnesses.I was saying there are plenty of campaign setting ideas out there that explore similar genres and themes that don't include things you clearly don't feel should exist in published product, like slavery. Many such ideas have been posited by you and others. Why don't you play one of those and leave Dark Sun back in the past if WotC considers it socially non-viable today? Why this insistence that an established setting be changed?
And you want us to ignore that because you you insist that the teflon is perfectly fine for us to cook food in. Hey, you group up eating the food baked in that pie pan, and you're fine, right? And if I don't like it, I should get cheesecake instead. And hey, I like cheesecake. But I want that apple pie, which means that I also want to get a new pie pan so I can make an apple pie that won't sicken me.
Dark Sun has a lot of very interesting concepts in it. It would be a terrible shame, and a great disservice for the entire gaming community, for it to be lost just because some people would rather let it die out completely than fix a few things.
