I think it's just a badly drawn magic scroll?

Dogs of war gets my money!

Mine is still in the shrinkwrap :P tormenting me from my bookshelf.

Yeah you won't get that from WotC these days.

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.

The 2e and 4e maps are both fantastic. Just use either of those. Judging by the UA, the defiling rules are a huge miss.

My guess is they won't do Dark Sun. But if they do, they'll use 4e but water it down to the point where it's just Forgotten Realms in the desert.

Everyone except James Wyatt.

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.

Sooooo, you can defile but if you do you lose your character? What kind of a choice is that? 3.5e had the best defiling mechanic for dark sun (it was in Dragon magazine). You defile plant life and gain defiler points which ended up being a corruption mechanic. The more you take, the more your...

The preservation subclass was for druids for some reason, and you're right, it didn't actually preserve anything, it was just a buffing subclass. If anything, it gave off a more "guarded lands" type of subclass. At the very least it needs to be renamed to avoid confusion with actual preservers...

It's not WotC's problem either. But they sure do seem to want to make it their problem.

It's only a problem if someone at your table thinks it is. This comes across as very "I have a problem with this in my game so I think it should be removed from the setting entirely."

James Wyatt has some good credits to his name, the rest, not so much.

If by "ignore" you mean didn't have enough room to include all of that stuff then, yeah, ok. And the timeline in the book takes place just after Kalak's death (the year of Priest's Defiance), so of course it didn't have the prism pentad, as those events hadn't happened yet. All of those other...

I don't want it at all.

4e Dark Sun didn't ignore nearly half of the canon from earlier editions. If anything, it took almost all of the old canon as is, then added a bunch of 4e stuff on top so people could still play tieflings and warlocks. That's why it was praised by Dark Sun fans. I can guarantee that is not what...

Yikes.

Good question. I suspect lot of the outrage is manufactured by WotC/Hasbro.
