For me, the problem was that it neither tried to capture the original feel of SJ, nor tried to fix any of the problems it had. Rather, it simply tried to pick up the "core concepts" and use them without everything else in the campaign...given that what we wanted was the campaign itself, it's a small wonder that so many people were left cold by it.I want to believe this is going to be good...I really do. The fact that it's getting a lot more than just a little mini-game section in Poly seems like a good indicator to me. What worries me is that Dave Noonan already seems to be leaning away from just converting the campaign from 2E to 3.5E (which, as you said, is what people want). Just consider is Dark Sun article in Dragon #315. It starts out by saying "What follows is an interpretation of the defiler magic [...] If you're already playing a Dark Sun game, this new system might represent too radical a change for an ongoing game."I see a bad sun rising...</blockquote>
