Ed Greenwood may have been content to go along with it, but obviously it bothered Margaret Weis - and it outright weakens Dark Sun as a setting to retcon its established cosmology and slap it into Spelljammer and Planescape. It's not "up for debate" that Dark Sun didn't use the Great Wheel, it's fact.Shemeska, I know you've got a lot personally invested in the whole Forgotten Realms + Planescape thing you do, but I think the majority of gamers reckon the whole idea of a crossover between the official settings is garbage.The best parts of Planescape are specific to Planescape, and I believe the setting is weakened when it's associated with the baggage of other published settings.</blockquote>
