Darksun obstacles

[AllisterH]

There's a two page PDF on the website using Campaign Classics.

Darksun: Obstacles. Very short and sweet.

Anyway, does this give Darksun the early lead in "which setting after Eberron in 2009 gets released".

Have they every said that they are considering releasing some of the old OOP campaign settings? I know that they never did for 3rd or 3.5, just a couple of Dragon articles....

It would be cool if they reprinted them, maybe with just a 1-book campaign setting book, and publishing more if they sold well....

Personally, I'm hoping for Planescape.

They're talking about 3 book deals (Player's Guide, Campaign/DM Guide, and an adventure that helps give the mood of the setting) for most of the major settings. Forgotten Realms is first, this year, and Eberron is second, next year. After that, who knows? I suspect we'll see Ravenloft and Dragonlance, due to popularity (the only two to get licensed during 3e's life span). Dark Sun is a strong favorite as well.

I have the feeling we'll see a once-a-month Campaign Classic article dedicated to each (surprise) classic campaign. Dark Sun being first may mean little.

You sir are correct. Chris Youngs stated that he wanted to run a Campaign Classic in each issue of Dragon. The fact that it is a column like "Class Acts" instead of a feature seems to bear that out. Still, its nice to see some Dark Sun material, especially stuff that lends itself to other types of campaigns; I hope that the column continues that generalist trend (world specific articles that plunge into the setting fluff are the province of feature articles IMO).

I believe that has been stated as how they're going to handle the campaign books, too. The "This is setting specific, but even if you don't play in this setting, we're trying to set it up so you could pluck this stuff out for your own setting."

And I am happy with this kind of editorial calendar for settings. Though, I still wonder, if in 2 years or so, we don't see another setting book come out. FR Campaign Guide 2 or something.

Now, are they restricting themselves to only one adventure per setting?

I believe so and it totally makes sense in light of the DDI. Publish a campaign setting book, a players guide, and one adventure to get your started. All further support for the setting comes from the DDI.

One really big adventure per setting, is my understanding. I would imagine Dungeon would be the venue for finding more, and shorter, ones.
