[QUOTE="delericho, post: 7697240, member: 22424"] It's tricky - planar travel can take you from one to another, suggesting that they're parallel Prime Material Planes, while Spelljammer also provides a transit suggesting they're the same one. IIRC, the bit about the Crystal Sphere is in "The Complete Spacefarer's Handbook". The bit about the gods is in the main boxed set, while the bit about planar travel is, I think, in the "Dragon Kings" hardback. All 2nd Ed - I haven't read the 4e stuff. (More generally, I think the reason DS is so remote is a direct reaction against the interlinking of settings from Spelljammer, Ravenloft, and Planescape - I don't think the DS designers were entirely keen on that being done. FWIW, I agree with them, and actually prefer the 'linking' settings as their own distinct entities. Obviously, YMMV. :) ) As for Ravenloft, the issue isn't getting domains [i]in[/i] to the setting, it's people getting [i]out[/i] that's the issue. :) [/QUOTE]
