Yeah, I was interested back when it was first Kickstarted. Now I don't even watch the update videos anymore. I'm glad I reduced my pledge to just digital honestly. I'll probably never play it unless my buddy runs it.
I also have that cloth map in my revised boxed set. One day I'll get it framed or something lol. Although I also got the 4e version as a vinyl map that I haven't decided what to do with yet.
Because that's what contributed to its success as a campaign setting and established its fanbase.
Dark Sun fans would vastly prefer a "Lord of the Rings" version of Dark Sun over a "Rings of Power" one. However, the latter seems far more likely seeing who's in charge of D&D these days.
