Coincidentally, I've been thinking about the 'Crystal Spheres' spheres 
myself recently. I'm not overly convinced by the 'High Level 
Character's Retirement Sphere' concept of Herospace, and I've been 
considering an alternative version with the same nine suns and nine 
planets (and one moon), but with each sun and associated planet having 
links to the equivalent plane on the Great Wheel (not gates as such, 
more that it is easier to open gates or make other links to the 
associated plane). With an 'origin myth' that the original inhabitants 
of each world were chosen petitioners from the associated plane.
This could tie into a 'planejammer' crossover that has been mooted as 
well.

I've also considered a slight change/padding out of Faeriespace using 
various assorted Fae supplements (Tall Tales of the wee Folk, 
Changling: The Dreaming, etc.) As a side note, IIRC, there is a 
reference to a 'Land of Faerie' in Realms mythology, so there might be 
a possibility of a tie-in there.

Definitely think multi-system support on BtM is a good idea.

With reference to your comments about Krynnspace - do you have any 
ideas about what to do about the 'missing' planet Shinare (which was 
mentioned in Tales of the Lance)?
