Darksun: Anyone still playing?

[Serendipity]

*misty eyed* Dark Sun is one of those settings that I fell in total love with the moment I saw it - unlike about everyone I was gaming with at the time. Having never actually been able to *play* yes, yes I'd be willing. Clearly. (Hells, I'd play 2e just to *play* DS)

I just read over part two of Dregoth Ascending from the athas.org people. I must say I'm quite impressed. This one seems much more involved, as it has the characters talking to four sorcerer-kings (Nibenay, Hamanu, Lalali-Puy, and even Andropinis), and on a search for three major artifacts that they can use to fight Dregoth himself!

It was originally going to be a published module by TSR, but the setting got canned before it was ready to be released and was eventually given to the Athas.org guys to finish up.

I haven't played it since Third Edition came out. I have been contemplating runniing the second edition campaign as a one-shot to see if anyone in my group has interest in a campaign. I sure hope they do. It is an awesome setting and really brings out more roleplaying and less combat (at least in my experience). Hmm, maybe as a True20 setting. Now, that would be interesting.

Hmm, maybe as a True20 setting. Now, that would be interesting.

That would definitely be interesting, though I think a D&D-based system (AD&D, D&D, C&C, etc.) would work best since Dark Sun is built around D&D archetypes.

I haven't played DS since the 2E days, and I wasn't all that crazy about the Dungeon/Dragon conversion. I do use Pterrans and Muls in my homebrew though. If I was going to run DS again, I'd go with the great work that the folks at athas.org did. Very good and faithful to the source material.
