[QUOTE="Erebus, post: 1451750, member: 8616"] Grunmore, I'm going to keep this fairly short because we're getting a little OT and I've pretty much stated all I have to say on the subject. I support DS. I do not support athas.org. I can do one without the other. That's not to say I'm against athas.org, I just don't much care for their conversion. I'm not against fan sites. They're great, they're fun, but their contents are not "official" and this expectancy on their part to be considered "official" or at the very least "consulted" just confuses me. I'm sure there are plenty of fans of DS in the WotC offices and they probably know a great deal about the setting as well. How is their interpretation of DS any less valid? The only difference is they're in the fortuitous position that allows their material to be deemed "official". I do not need to convert DS to 3e. In fact, I don't need to use any version of D&D to enjoy the setting. DS is a cool and interesting setting - although it's popularity may have waned somewhat because official new material has not been published in a number of years, that doesn't mean the setting is dead or dying.
