Let's say a non-WotC publisher wanted to make a new setting that captured what Dark Sun fans enjoyed most about the setting. If you are an existing Dark Sun fan, what do you consider the essential elements of the setting that a publisher could remix and still capture a large part of the magic of the setting for you.
My suspicion is that while there are fans of every single element, most fans actually like a smaller core set of elements, which might be remixed separately.
But I'm not an existing Dark Sun fan, just a busybody with a theory.
So, Dark Sun fans, what are the essential elements in your mind?
