Apparently, they originally planned for Doomspace to be a destroyed Athasspace because all the planets originally had the names of the planets in said Crystal Sphere, even if they changed their minds about destroying the Dark Sun setting they still cheapened it by putting the previously unique creatures from the setting in Spelljammer.
Athas has been done dirty in 5e. maybe we get an offical printing for 5f?

Oh. thats sad. I never have played in either but I love the idea of Athas and the fact that they turned it into a slowing dying wildspace system is angryafying.

It's best when WOTC forgets your favorite setting. The Eye of Sauron falling on it, never ends well.

Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.

That franchise wasn't designed to be child-friendly or to allow space for new player options about classes and PC species, but if WotC needs to sell some original IP then Dark Sun is too valious to allow the fall into the oblivion.
My suggestion to fix this a new hyrborean-punk setting is created working as a spin-off. Then the Athasian tablelands and the metaplot of the novels keeping existing but they are in "a far place".
If Baldurs Gate 3 has showed to be a not child-friendly videogame, then Dark Sun could return as a videogame, maybe like a survival and totally independient about the main metaplot.
How would be if Dark Sun and Jackandor were in the same wildspace/crystal sphere, or both next?
Maybe the Athasian Tablelands, the region of Tyr keep existing as a demiplane, working as a cosmic firewall to stop planar intrusions from other strange planes. Who would want to save the region of Tyr as a demiplane? For example it could be perfect to hide things for divine beings as Vecna.
Other option could be to publish for April's Fool some crazy idea, for example a mash-up setting mixing Dragonlance and Dark Sun (do you remember the cover of "the wild elves" sourcebook?), with sales of LEGO miniatures. Later this setting could be seriously unlocked in DMGuild.

Doomspace is Athasspace
Wait, Doomspace is Dark Sun!?
I've never played Dark Sun, but I've heard of it, and I love Doomspace!!! I'll have to check this out!

I love paleontology, and I hope to become a paleontologist in the future.
Sadly, I am not a dinosaur, nor is my name really Gregory.
I am a little crazy. I eat pineapple on pizza, and I enjoy it! 🍍🍕 PM the word Avocado

True. Also, why are you quoting Tasha?

because the quote amused me as a warlock fan
