[QUOTE="Novem5er, post: 4835015, member: 57859"] No offense taken. Trust me, my Dark Sun knowledge is not extensive. I flipped through the 2e boxed set, played a few sessions, and that was about it. I'm willing to bet that my experience with Dark Sun is more common to D&D players than those who can name cities, NPCs, or cite an extensive history of the land. But your post confuses me b/c I agree with you completely! Yes, Dark Sun could be retrofitted just fine for 4e.... BUT as you pointed out, there is just TOO MUCH 4e stuff to smash it into Dark Sun easily. Thus, if they DO release Dark Sun, my opinion is that they will abandon much of the old lore, or simply write over it (as they have already proven willing to do, i.e. 4e Realms). If WotC is willing to do this, then Dark Sun would also work just fine as a drop-in area to existing campaign settings. Heck, it could be a Super Adventure like the Giants set they are releasing this year. The adventure has one meta plot: destroy the Dragon King(s) and end the curse on the land, however, there are 10-20-30 levels worth of material to create adventures around. But I think I'm done in this thread. I'm not trying to convince anyone... I'm just throwing out a possibility. With this mindset, I think Dragonlance is a more realistic release as a 2010 campaign setting. [/QUOTE]
