From Troy Denning

In honor of Dark Sun's 30th anniversary, Jamie Lovett wrote a great article on the game's conception, based on interviews with me, Tim Brown, and Brom. The only thing I would add is that Mary Kirchoff played a big part in conceptualizing the world, too.

Dark Sun: Celebrating 30 Years of Dungeons & Dragons' Enduring Post-Apocalyptic Campaign Setting With its Creators

When I was around 12 years old, I sat down with some of my family members to play Dungeons & Dragons for the first time. I expected something involving benevolent wizards, chivalrous knights, and sly thieves meeting in a tavern to go on an adventure, likely involving a dungeon and a dragon...

I wonder how the metaplot would continue, because I suspect there are still some mysteries to be revealed, and because I feel curiosity about the rest of that world, how was the planet and the crystal sphere.

Was gonna post this myself good read.

There's been hints.

1. The messenger was gonna return. It was a Halfling spaceship with nature masters/benders who were in stasis.

2. Secrets of the Deadlands. Canceled product detailing the dead lands.

3. Dregoth Ascending. Canceled product Dregoth was gonna try and become a god.

Great article and very interesting timing. I wonder when we see a darksun product for 5e & how much of 5.5 it will have in it.. Some of the very late 3.0 books with names that escape me were a not quite 3.0 anymore but almost 3.5 in some ways so it's a reasonable thing to wonder about if darksun is going to be a vehicle for change.

I really, really like the idea and setting of Dark Sun.
I have no ideas for a campaign that I would actually want to run there, though.

find a module and run that it is what those things were made for as inspiration is not a reliable thing.

"A Little Bit of Knowledge" is the best introductory adventure of all time. I run it whenever I start a new Darksun campaign.
