[QUOTE="Tsyr, post: 250786, member: 354"] Kalamar is an offical setting in the same way Forgotten Realms or, in the past, things like Dragonlance or Birthright were "official settings". Not the "default", which is what greyhawk is supposed to be now, but "offical" in that WotC approves of it, and it carries the DnD brand name, as opposed to being a generic D20 fantasy product. Most Harn still is. There are two or three products out or in the works though that are d20 stated, I guess... at least, they bear the words D20, but not following Harn, I don't know the specifics. There are still more ravenloft books in the works, I believe. Basicly, AEG still owns Rokugan, and still is putting out Rokugan (in d20 form)... But Rokugan is now the "official" OA setting, as opposed to Kara Tur, as it used to be. As a result, AEG has (I gather) some limited rights to use stuff from the OA book, or something. I'm not sure of the exact legal details. It's DnD crossed with starwars, basicly. Yeah, you have it pretty much correct... It's a space fantasy setting, but some of the more traditional "sci-fi" trappings are at least partial magical... cybernetics is now handled by spellware and soulmechs, "warp drive" is replaced by starcasters, etc. Much more... "realistic"... than Spelljammer ever even tried to be, but still with fantasy elements. Planescape doesn't exist as a setting anymore, officialy, but with Manual of the Planes has some vaugly planescape-esq information :) Dragonlance is in the works, being published by WotC, but wrote by Sovereign Press (Where most of the old Dragonlance crew works now, on the Sov. Stone campagin setting... worth a look if you liked Dragonlance). AEG has apparently aquired the rights to do Dark Sun, but no word on a publication as of yet. [/QUOTE]
