D&D 5E Dark Sun, is it the new setting for Acquisitions Incorperated?

[darjr]

At the end of the PAX Unplugged Acquisitions Incorporated ENDED their long campaign with a very emotional scene.
Then for their "One More Thing" the show teased a Series II D&D campaign starting next year with a kickstarter.

Lots of neat things were displayed in the comedic bit introducing Jim Darkmagic and the kickstarter for Series II but the one thing that was shown prominently, if quickly, twice was the below Darksun book "Mind Lords of the Last Sea"

Could this kickstarter be a way to have Darksun produced but not on the main WotC schedule?

See the twitch vod starting at the teaser below.

Surprise?!?

That book. Surfing Druids Darksun.

Technically Athas is almost totally isolated from the rest of D&D multiverse. Even if this was possile, it would be too dangerous for a trade company to risk sending their own agents.

And the troubles about psionic powers haven't ended when somebody says the mystic/psion should be a class. And with the 5Ed now we have to explain about that lineages and classes should be allowed in Athas.

Maybe it is not a visit to the original Athas but some rip-off or other world imitating that hyrborean-punk look.

They did a Dark Sun series a few years back using 4E. Maybe they’re revisiting that.

Interlude: Dark Sun

The 'interlude' campaign series occurs in Athas, under the campaign setting of 'Dark Sun'. Unlike the previous three seasons, this was not produced in direct collaboration with Wizards of the Coast until the PAX Prime show which can be found under Acquisitions Incorporated: Season Four. Chris...

this seems an odd way to take it but I do not watch games so it will mean little to me.

Jim Darkmagic belongs in a world with cannibal halflings.

I'd love a Dark Sun setting book, but please, not through the lenses of Acq. Inc.

Well...Stranger Things have happened.

Well...Stranger Things have happened.

I know its a ''me problem'' but I just cant with Acq Inc.

I love humor, I can deal with a lot of gonzo and random hijinks, but the type of humor of Acq. Inc seems too juvenile to my taste.
