[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9097275, member: 6802378"] Now Dark Sun may be potentially troublemaker because it can be used for parody of the "climate emergency" by both sides, promoters and opposing. This is not fault by creators for the TSR age. DS is awesome but now it is not wellcome in the 5e because the marketing strategy is radically different. Now the philosophy by WotC is "all the crunch has to can be used in all settings". Now it is wrong if you can't include the new PC species appeared in the complete psionic handbook. Would buy a DM a setting fearing árguments with players who want to play with a "banned" class or specie in Athas? The adventures or modules shouldn't be too specific for only certain setting. What if the Athasian Tablelands were the batlefield between the cults of Vecna and Tharizdum(elder elemental eye)? Did Athasiann deities created their own astral dominions before the cleasing wars? What happened to souls of the victims of the cleasing wars? Hanna-Barbera cartoon "Pirates of the Dark Waters" is a good example of how a tribal-punk setting can be "child-friendly". Greyhawk enjoys the potential adventage it is "incomplete", and this allows space to add new elements in the future. For example the oriental continent could be the "home" of the updated martial adepts (crusader, swordsage, warblade..). * It is curious, but today Greyhawk and Mystara are "retro" or "vintage fantasy". It is like reading an old strip comic of Flash Gordon, or the little girl finding grandma's doll. [/QUOTE]
