It's Dark Sun

[Kez Darksun]

Was hoping to hear about a ToEE mega adventure after they released the revised Hommlet. Glad its Darksun for the next setting.

Love the cover for it.

Hooray! It's not Dragonlance!

Hamster and rangers everywhere, rejoice!

Still, an original setting would've been better. Oh well, maybe next year...

Dark Sun: "We're going back to the original box set" as far as timeline goes."

Now that is an interesting choice. It's going to be a rebooted setting... it seems.

I'm still wary of how WotC is going to handle revising Dark Sun. Will there be gods and primordials? Will it use the new cosmology?

And I'm assuming all the races and classes will be included. That will make 4e DS very different from 2e DS.

Excellent news!

This might make me a 4e fan if they stay true to the setting. Still, it's too early to be sure of anything at the moment.

And that cover is sweet!!!

"We're going back to the original box set" as far as timeline goes."

So they've done a 'Realms-shattering-event' for FR, basically retconned 4e changes for Eberron, and it looks like Dark Sun is getting a reboot back to its original setting (with 4e tweaks, presumably). Three very different models on how to handle things.

Oooooh, yes!

Original campaign, not necessarily 4e tropes. I think I might reach nerdvana (or it could be my persistant fever, of course, but I'm a little bit light headed).
