Hmm. Dark-Sun is definitely a fantasy world. Its really a premedieval
warlord or city-state type structure. Its NOt (or shouldn't be DSO I was)
overstocked with magic as magic is rare, a recent development and feared.
The primary technology actually is psionic. Its also a resource poor
world, very little free metal available at all.
But ultimately its still la fantasy world with
mages/clerics/figherts/theives and such.
I would love to do a Ravenloft product eventually, which although it has
fantasy trappings is really Gothic Horror (true Gothic, not WoD). That
would require quire some very different approaches to the material.

On the the other hand, Clock Work orenge is a classic even though you need
to learn a new langauge. I think you also hd to learn soem new parts of
speach to read Brabve new world, didn't you? granted neoither as as
popualr as a fricking TSR novel today... **SIGH**
