The details differ, but you still have fighters in heavy armor, clerics that heal, and wizards that cast fireballs. I could take something like Horror on the Hill and run pretty much as-is in any edition - I might have to do some conversion to match the system, but the adventure itself would work fine.But Dark Sun and Eberron both deviate from that D&D baseline. Dark Sun does so significantly more, by both adding and removing things from the baseline, whereas Eberron mostly adds. For example, giving Horror a quick once-over, I see that hobgoblins play a significant part in the adventure. Dark Sun doesn't have hobgoblins, so that would be an issue.My issue is that I don't think Eberron would feel properly like Eberron if its psionics didn't allow for kalashtar soulknife assassins with weirdly shaped soulblades. But soulknives don't really match what I think of as Dark Sun. Neither do rains of crystal shards ripping people apart, or silver-colored constructs formed from astral matter. I mean, I could probably get over it, but it'd feel weird.</blockquote>
