This is the first in what has turned out to be a series of Collector's Guides. In each guide, I try to list all of the products and official content released for a particular setting. The idea to develop this first one, for Dark Sun, stemmed from seeing Bohemian Ear Spoon's picture of his 4e Dark Sun collection in the Pinnacle of your Collection thread. I starting pondering the question of exactly how much Dark Sun material has been produced over the years. One thing led to another, and soon I had a list. (And the answer to the question was "lots"…)

And regarding comics, IDW's Dungeons & Dragons #0 (August 2010) includes a short Dark Sun comic which is basically the prequel for next year's series.
That is an awesome list, however, what in all that is holy is this: Dark Sun minis box (DM Rewards, February 2010)
Can I get a picture before I start tearing the world apart looking for one?
Also I have heard there was a cloth Athas map at Gen Con 2010.
Also, there was some other adventure in 2009 that Kindrock, Morg, and the reast of the Free RPG Day 2010 pregen characters originated, but I cant seem to find out where.
Very nicely done! Also, I know they're not "official" in the strictest sense, but don't forget the four Spellfire boosters released online (Inquisition, Millenium, Chaos, and Conquest) over on Spellfire.net.

Oooh, yes. I'll add that.

Hmmm... I have no idea about that. Was it a convention adventure perhaps?
What of Dread Realms (or something like that) of Ravenloft which explains what happened to Kalidnay. (2nd edition)
Kalidnay was first mentioned (in the context of Ravenloft) in the Forbidden Lore boxed set, and then again in the hardcover book Domains of Dread.
That said, I don't think cross-campaign material really counts on a list of Dark Sun products. After all, Planescape's Planewalker's Handbook mentions Athas among a list of Prime Material worlds, but I wouldn't include that book here just because of that.

Personally, I feel that both Ravenloft products deserve mention on the list because the write-up on Kalidnay and its Sorcerer King is substantial enough that it may be useful for someone interested in Dark Sun lore (even if the gender of Kalid-Ma and his/her high priest is inconsistent). The 2E accessory, Book of Artifacts, is also relevant because it has four Dark Sun-related items: the Obsidian Man of Urik, the Psychometron of Nerad, Silencer of Bodach, and the Rod of Teeth.

I generally like to err on the side of inclusiveness, so I've added the BoA and the two Ravenloft products to the "2nd Edition miscellaneous" section. I already had the MCA4 there, which also only has a little bit of Dark Sun content, so that seems like the most consistent thing to do.
