To be fair, they may have gone that direction if it was more popular.I'm old enough to remember when everyone thought that a single book with lineages meant that every race was a lineage.

I wouldn't stake anything on people being the new terminology, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised if race gets the boot. It has IRL associations that aren't at all helpful when talking about fictive nonhumans.I'm old enough to remember when everyone thought that a single book with lineages meant that every race was a lineage.
You could start a campaign there...easy, getting there from another plane or sphere was just as hard as leaving. You had to go through the Grey and there was only a slight percentage you'd end up there and not some random plane iirc.Opposite. Getting to Athas was not particularly complicated, leaving was the hard part.
Astral Elven Empire, Neogi, Illithid, the Arcane, Space Clowns, and Scro/Goblin Hegemony Reborn Just to name a few. Whoops forgot about clockwork horrors, mechanical space locusts...my love of biology agrees with you.
given we have heard very little about dark sun I would not be on it next year.
I wonder who the antagonist factions will be?
I don't remember them actually being major players. Was that in one of the supplements? I don't remember them being a big deal in the original box.There are a lot of people here who don't remember/realize that the thri-kreen were major players in 2e Spelljammer, something entirely seperate from their role as major players in 2e Dark Sun.
I do specifically remember Athas being in a "closed" crystal sphere, so I believe it was difficult to find, enter or leave.Opposite. Getting to Athas was not particularly complicated, leaving was the hard part.
I prefer Level Up's heritage myself. Have been consciously trying to use that term in my writing, in fact.I wouldn't stake anything on people being the new terminology, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised if race gets the boot.

You know, Exploring Eberron's Symbiotiont items would be GREAT to represent a number of the bio-organic modifications done to a person along with that as well.I think it's easy enough to group Rastipedes and Xixchil into the Kreen. And for PCs who's origin is that were altered by the Xixchil, use the Simic Hybrids stats from Ravnica.
