That much is clear.I can see only two plausible reasons for this:(1) WotC has plans for Dark Sun, and someone at WotC decided that the presentation of Athaspace in the Spelljammer set doesn’t match the vision they have for the updated setting.(2) Someone at WotC decided Dark Sun is too problematic to resurrect, even in this limited form.These seem roughly equally likely to me.A year ago I would have cared a lot which one of these turned out to be true. But the total misfire that is 5e Spelljammer (my take: what’s there isn’t all that bad, but everything important is missing; it’s the definition of a half-baked product) makes me trepidatious when I think about future books from WotC. Spelljammer might not be the worst official 5e book, but if not, it’s awfully close—and it definitely feels like the laziest one.</blockquote>
