[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 6589377, member: 5100"] 1) Generally speaking, no. I have a 30 year custom setting. It has its own cosmology and is generally separate from published settings. I've run a couple "one-off" home brew games. Those are assumed to be wholly separate, too. When I run a published setting, anymore, it's Eberron, which has its own cosmology. 2) I generally view Spelljammer as some sort of bender-induced practical joke that isn't actually funny, so it doesn't get consideration in my game. I know a lot of folks love Planescape, but it's pretty much what turned me from casual acceptance of the Great Wheel concept to purging it from my home brew. It's nowhere near as objectionable as Spelljammer; it's just something that doesn't interest me in the least. 3) Our group has a concept of "quest rings" for pick-up games. Some power has created rings that, when donned, transport the wearer to a "quest" (a.k.a. an adventure/module). It's up to the wearer to figure out whether he can trust his new party and what he's supposed to be doing. These rings exist on all major prime material worlds, though, and the quests can take place on any major prime world. Mainly, this just lets us get down to business when the old college group gets together for a weekend or if someone has an itch to run something. It shortcuts the need to explain how all the PCs got together, why you have a Paladin and an Assassin together, etc. If the DM wants, he can include an in-game note giving the PCs a bit of background on what's going on -- or he can leave it as a complete mystery. PCs used with the rings are only pulled from ongoing campaigns if the DM agrees that it's not harmful to that campaign to do so. Otherwise, we just pull retired favorites out of mothballs. [/QUOTE]
