Press is going back to the very foundation of DL to get the tone right, yet are working on moving the setting forward.  It's a very nice blend.Note that I am biased.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />With other settings, it is hard to say.  Again, it depends on the setting.I know that most fans I hear talk about the 3e mock-up of Dark Sun in Dragon and Dungeon recently didn't care for the conversion, prefering instead the Athas.org version.  The difference here is that the Dragon version is PHB-centric while the Athas.org version is setting-centric.Spelljammer saw print in Polyhedron, which also had mixed fan reactions.  This conversion missed out on some classic elements of Spelljammer.  At the same time, I felt it was a good starting point, and could be integrated into the larger whole.As for other settings...I've heard mixed reviews, again depending on the setting.  Some seem to live up to the original spirit, others seem to be a situation where the name recognition is being taken advantage of.</blockquote>
