World of Kulan DM
Forked from: Dragonlance 4e in 2010?
...to avoid a threadjack. Yes, it was my thread to start but still.
If the best case scenario happens and WotC keeps Athas isolated from the new cosmology, then I'll be happy. Even if they make it possible for a DM to "choose" to keep Athas isolated, I'll be happy.
However, my "gut feeling" tells me that Dark Sun isn't going to remain isolated in a 4e version of the campaign setting. I have this horrible thought of the campaign world getting invaded by Dragonborn and Tieflings and gnomes and orcs appearing out of nowhere. [Blech.] (Hell, I'd rather see warforged in a revised Dark Sun than tieflings.)

Yes, but I severely doubt that WotC will isolate Athas from the PoL cosmology, especially if it ends up tied directly to the Elemental Chaos.Mouseferatu said:I keep seeing this, but...
Part of Athas' schtick was that it was isolated from other planes. The only planar connections, IIRC, were elemental. And for those purposes, the Elemental Chaos works just as well as four separate elemental planes.
So really, why does it matter what cosmology may exist beyond Athas, if Athas can't reach it and isn't affected by it?
