[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9203725, member: 2209"] I really liked the first boxed set and the world it set up. I was quite disappointed the Prism Pentad took the promise of the setting and had novel protagonists take away the toppling of a number of Sorcerer Kings from the PCs, it seemed a natural mega adventure concept that would have been fun to run. I got a lot of use out of Dragon Kings, but more as a general 2e sourcebook, my longtime wizard character loved protection from time and improved haste. The big PC sourcebook you have not listed is [URL='https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/17199/the-will-and-the-way-2e?affiliate_id=17596']The Will and the Way[/URL] for Dark Sun specific psionics expansion. The psionics handbook stuff was enough for my limited Dark Sun purposes but everybody gets psionics in Dark Sun so having more variety is nice if you are fairly familiar with the base Complete Psionics material. There are also PC sourcebooks for [URL='https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/17195/dss3-elves-of-athas-2e?affiliate_id=17596']Dark Sun Elves[/URL] and [URL='https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/17202/thri-kreen-of-athas-2e?affiliate_id=17596']Thri Kreen[/URL] which are a bit more niche as well as the [URL='https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/17191/cgr2-the-complete-gladiator-s-handbook-2e?affiliate_id=17596']Complete Gladiators Handbook[/URL] which focuses more on arenas than PC options. On the DM side I am big fan of the Dark Sun Monstrous Compendium appendices [URL='https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/17180/mc12-monstrous-compendium-dark-sun-appendix-terrors-of-the-desert-2e?affiliate_id=17596']Terrors of the Desert[/URL] and [URL='https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/17201/dark-sun-monstrous-compendium-appendix-ii-terrors-beyond-tyr-2e?affiliate_id=17596']Terrors Beyond Tyr[/URL]. The monster palette goes a big way to saying powerful psionic desert post apocalypse Dark Sun specific D&D. I am not familiar with the modules so I cannot recommend or steer you away from any as resources. [/QUOTE]
