[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8640174, member: 22779"] See, I look at it like this. If I wanted to run an adventure set in Sharn, it would likely be a very different adventure if I ported it into Greyhawk or Waterdeep. Eberron and the other two setting are just so different. But, I can take Ghosts of Saltmarsh (or, in fact the older modules all of those modules are based on) and move Saltmarsh to the Sword Coast without changing much more than proper nouns. Virtually nothing changes. Conversely, I can take classic Greyhawk adventures like Cult of the Reptile God or the Slavers series and plonk it down into Forgotten Realms, and, again, other than changing proper nouns, there really isn't much that needs to change. Are they different settings? Sure. No problems with that. But, they really aren't all that different when you drill down to it. Heck, look at the first three Paizo Adventure Paths - Shackled City, Age of Worms and Savage Tides. All three have conversion documents for plonking these adventures into Forgotten Realms and it really doesn't take a lot of work. Mostly just changing proper nouns. [/QUOTE]
