[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8804799, member: 7023887"] Most of the people that are upset at the possibility of orcs being playable/present in Dragonlance have said things along that line. There is a huge difference between a "Kitchen Sink" setting in D&D and the theoretical setting that includes literally every possible fantasy/D&D concept ever. Could you take Ansalon and drop it into the Sea of Swords and have a Dragonlance campaign there? Maybe. Dragonlance's pantheon and history are quite different from Toril's, but it's technically possible if you change both settings enough. However, there is a major difference between a setting that can incorporate all player options (Eberron, for example) and a setting that contains all possible stories in D&D. Eberron is another "Kitchen Sink" setting. As Keith Baker has said several times, "If it exists in D&D, it can exist in Eberron". However, Eberron is still quite different from Dragonlance. It would be practically impossible to run the War of the Lance in Eberron because the Gods aren't proven to exist, chromatic dragons aren't more likely to be evil than metallic dragons, the setting's technology level is overall higher, morality isn't based on religion or race, and dozens of other factors that would make it basically impossible to run War of the Lance in Eberron. Both the Forgotten Realms and Eberron are Kitchen Sink settings, but they're still very different and incompatible. Even if opening up the character options that you can play in Dragonlance somehow turns it into a "Kitchen Sink" setting (which I don't think it does), multiple Kitchen Sink settings can coexist without invalidating each other or requiring combination.
