Dark Sun Progression

[delvek]

Greetings!

I am running a 5 players Dark Sun Campaign and trying to piece together the available progression.

We just completed the miniadventure in the Campaign Setting book and last session I was transitioning the group into the free rpg adventure Blood Sand Arena. From that I planned on taking them through the publish miniadventure . I am unsure whether I want to actually do the Marauders Module based on its negative reviews and after reading I tend to agree on several points.

My question is, anyone familiar with when the next module will be released or if there are any other posted or planned miniadventures for Dark Sun?

What are other DM's doing that are running Dark Sun to continue progression?

I thought about running several mini-adventures myself based on several overriding themes mentioned throughout the book but was really hoping to keep to a specific set of modules.

The rule in 4e is one printed module per setting. Dark Sun was lucky enough to get a Free RPG Day, Game Day and Encounters module released as well, though those aren't easy to get.

There is a module in Dungeon Magazine which I believe is designed to follow Bloodsand Arena.

Yes I meant to insert that in, I plan on running that after Blood Sand Arena its called "something" Vault and have it in. I was wondering though when they will come out with the next module for the Marauders campaign.

Sorry if I am not too aware of the lingo but what were the names of the Game Day and Encounters Module? Was that the "Vault" and "Marauders" respectively?

I suspect that the only Dark Sun adventure support we're likely to get will be in Dungeon. There won't be any more published adventures. You might have to create your own *GASP*

Unfortunately there won't be a sequel to Marauders. At least, nothing that is currently scheduled. WotC's current plan is to release a setting with a module and leave it at that. Forgotten realms and Eberron got the same support.

There will be more Dark Sun stuff in the magazines, but it is hard to tell when and what that will be.

Another idea: adapt an adventure written for 2e. There have been dozens, all made into pdf. Surely you bought some before Wizards pulled the plug.

I have written every adventure out group has played to date. Its not that hard...

Switching to Dark sun Soon. Cant wait. Our group "got together" with the original!

I'll be running my group through The Vault of Darom Madar from one of the Dungeon Magazines. I'm going to run the adventure in the Dark Sun book, then this adventure, then transition into Marauders of the Dune Sea.

Dungeon magazine has a few adventures in the magazine. I'm not sure if they have some higher level adventures, but there's at least a few options in the magazine.

@ True Blue

Thats the same plan I have only I inserted Blood Sand Arena into that mix between the adventure in the setting book and "The Vault". Let me know if you come up with any other ideas, we are currently just getting into Blood Sand Arena.

Started playing dnd again this year after a 25 year hiatus from ADnD in the 80's. After months of playing a character I am dm'ing Dark Sun for my group. Enjoying it but relearning much. I thought about making my own dungeon and storyline but a little gunshy although WoTC may leave me no other choice.
