Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dragonblade" data-source="post: 1371668" data-attributes="member: 2804">Troy Denning created the setting but he also destroyed it.The Prism Pentad was the death knell for Dark Sun. Everything that you knew about the setting from the original boxed set was thrown right out the window. Half the sorceror-king's died along with the world's only dragon.NPC's should never have that kind of drastic change on the setting. Never. Its bad design and even worse marketing.I also blame Bill Slavicsek for releasing the abomination that was the "Revised" Dark Sun campaign setting. Talk about nerfing the entire feel of the setting.It was so radically different, with the halfling bio-technology, the Thri-kreen savannas, etc. And don't even get me started on how outraged I was when I saw what they did to the Strength table.I don't know what their goal was, but it sure as hell wasn't Dark Sun anymore.Athas.org's take is ok, but they just didn't recapture the feel of the setting for me. I'm hoping that Dragon's version will be much closer to the feel of the original boxed set.</blockquote>
