[QUOTE="mkill, post: 5211041, member: 55985"] I feel pretty sorry for the designers here. They're doing the community a service by actively engaging fans in a forum, and what they get is nitpicking and people blowing some minor details way out of proportion. Stop that Statler and Waldorf act, or at least be more funny while doing it. Let's face it, the whole feywild issue is maybe half a page in a 150 page book. The entire description is probably shorter than the blog post we saw. If it's such an anathema for you, just blank the whole page with whiteout or rip it out and eat it (and kudos that you already know you hate it even though you haven't seen the thing yet). But accept that a rewrite of a setting for a new edition and by new writers will include their vision of the setting, and [I]that's a good thing[/I]. It means that the setting will be breathing new life, after laying dormant for 15 years. And also accept that there is a whole new bunch of players out there, all of which will be new to the setting, and they won't share your preset image of what "true" Athas is. But if you DM Dark Sun (and this time, non-ironic kudos to you) you will be in charge and you can install your own true Athas, in the same way that the designers put their own true Athas in the book.
