I'll even go one further and say that Dark Sun 4e angers me with all of its attention. It's getting an "Eye on" this month in Dungeon magazine.
Huh. Dark Sun hasn't received any such attention until . . . coming up.

I've even groused that it is being treated less than flatteringly right now with the WotC Dark Sun forum stuck in the "Other Worlds" miscellaneous collection rather than being called out like the Ebrron and FR forums, and how the Dark Sun Blog doesn't blog about Dark Sun for months at a time and when it there is a post Dark Sun gets a partial reference. I know it's not officially out yet, but if you actively look around for info it kind of seems an afterthought at the moment. My kvetching to WotC did get them to at least place a link to Chris Tulach's RPGA announcement on the official Dark Sun page. :D

Maybe the attention is only now being ramped up, but it has been a figurative desert of news about 4e Dark Sun since announcement.

There is also a living campaign launching. Adventures, I think, are to debut at GenCon. I heard a rumor about several places across the country doing marathon 72 hour playtests. I'm sure it wasn't the only playtesting.

Are you talking about the second season of D&D Encounters, or is this some other living campaign in Dark Sun that you're talking about? Something like LFR, but in Dark Sun? If so, that's awesome!

None of the global admins know of any upcoming living campaign, or at least they arent saying they do. The most recent word still is that the RPGA does not have the resources available to support a 2nd living campaign.
 




I am very much stoked about Dark Sun 4e. I played it back when it was 1st released, and while I thought it was novel, I just couldn't come up with enough ideas for it. Maybe it's just that I've had so much experience since then, but reading up on the info that has been released so far has given me all kinds of things I can use.

I love the unusual settings. Now, all we need is a Spelljammer 4e, and I will be a very happy camper.
