[QUOTE="grimslade, post: 8722469, member: 6061"] We need to stop thinking that 'pissing off Dark Sun fans' is a threat to future sales. There are very few 'Dark Sun purist fans' in proportion to the player base. Doomspace is a sample of the process of rethinking DS for 5E. It might not be where DS winds up, but it obviously had work put into it and WotC liked the result enough that they didn't want to throw it away. I like the Dawn War component of the Primordials defeating the gods and blocking them from the system. It gives a good backstory to the Elemental priests and the lack of traditional priesthoods on Athas. I do not like the whole gods came back and destroyed the system in a fit of pique. Part of the tragedy of Dark Sun is it isn't an invasion of outsiders or punishment of the gods that destroy Athas; it is mortal hubris and greed. So Doomspace isn't Athasspace, but it seems like a fun place to adventure for Spelljammer. [/QUOTE]
