D&D General Does Earth (or at least a fantasy version of it) have a crystal sphere and exist in the D&D Cosmology?

If you want it to.

The very first "Immortals" adventure in the BECMI line has your characters traveling to New York City

I never saw those. That's interesting

Which of course would allow us to logically prove that the Gods do not exist!

logically proving a negative would be quite the rewrite of logic.

I had it, but never ran it: The Immortal Storm (drivethruRPG link)

AThas

Athas 2nd edition was not connected to the Ethereal Plane. It was in some way out of phase and totally unreachable from the greater DND cosmology and gods. Why was never explained. It may just be that's where it was created or it may have been moved there by the great civilization of halflings to escape the multiverse craziness before thier civilization crashed.

I suspect they were playing with some way to segment fantasy and scifi settings when they worked that out. Maybe I'm giving them too much credit.

Not totally unreachable, as it happens.

The Dark Sun Crystal Sphere was surrounded by "The Black" an extension of the Negative Energy Plane. The idea is all the death on Athas was drawing them into the NEP, but they stopped just in time....but are still partly stuck.

A Darksun Ravenloft domain - Kalidnay - appeared in the Forbidden Lore box set I believe.

In the D&D Cosmology, countless worlds, along with their solar systems, are encased in crystal spheres that bob in the Astral Sea. You can travel between the worlds in a spelljammer ship. All the worlds share the same Prime Material Plane.

I was wondering if our Earth, or at least a fantasy version of it, has been officially recognised as existing in a crystal sphere in D&D’s Prime Material Plane.

The problem with that is that at the moment, I think they've dropped the crystal sphere thing. So, technically, no, at the point it doesn't exist as you describe it.

Earth, or some version of it, has appeared, been visit-able, or been referenced in several products and publications over the years. I don't think the earlier planar products with the crystal sphere cosmology specifically detailed it, though.

All the different settings all also have the same language of 'Common', which just happens to be the same language you might find anyone on our Earth using.

Wasn't this explained as that Common originated from Sigil?

Did any real-world pantheons - Egyptian pantheon, Greek pantheon, Norse pantheon, etc. - feature in 5E’s Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse?

IIRC, nope, the book doesn't mention any real world god. Real world pantheons are listed in the Appendix B of the 2014 PHB, however.

The truth is that our world is the fictional setting where adventurers gather in a tavern in the real world to play a futuristic game. I think they call it Accounts & Ledgers.
