[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 4652516, member: 2205"] Yeah, I do think those are minor. Greyhawk? Are poorly colored birds of prey at all important in the setting? Forgotten Realms? C'mon, that's just a vaguely fantasy name with some heavy-handed nostalgia/romanticism undertones. Nobody even remembers the point of the title most of the time. Dark Sun--the life giving sun is "dark"? That's really stretching it. It was a desert world, and it was darker fantasy than FR. Dark Sun. Hardly rocket science based on important campaign details. I can do the same for Birthright, Planescape, Ravenloft, Spelljammer and to a lesser extent Dragonlance. I'll give you Dragonlance if you want it, but even then the point of Dragonlance was a campaign that featured dragons more in depth than prior D&D material had. I don't know that the title of the setting came first just based on that, or if the title of the setting came later after the details of the dragonlance artifact had already been established, but it could have gone either way and had the same result.
