First Dark Sun Excerpt!!!

[Scribble]

Hey didn't see this posted about yet!

Dark Sun Goodness!!!


For all of us who are hyp[ed] (just for your mouse-man!) about Dark Sun!!!

Thanks for the post.

Yes, Dark Sun is BACK!!!!!

The upcoming articles look interesting, too.

There are no clerics, no paladins, and no prophets or religious orders.

I thought they weren't going to explicitly say "no", but rather remain silent on this to let DM's decide. I realize this is mostly a design-goals document, but I still find it interesting; Not that I have a problem with it.

I think they said they were going to put in sidebars that tell the DM it's ok to say there ARE some things if they feel like making it so. (Without WoTC coming to beat them up for breaking canon.)

This article doesn't tell anyone who knows what Dark Sun is too much. I'm looking forward to the crunchier bits coming down the road.

Actually they say something like:

there have been gods, there are remaining shrines and the gods are silent on athas...

which means: you can tell your player "no" and blame it on the campaign set, but you can also say yes, if it fits your adventure

This looks very similar to the Dark Sun Encounters blurb they sent with the packets and I have had on my Meetup site sign April 29th. []

Was hoping for something new.

kinda disappointing for an excerpt

This was already posting on someone's blog, this is in the encounters stuff, and this was in the FreeRPGday adventure....

You notice that they've switched the previews up so that they end when the product is released for the preimere stores, not the general release?

Yeah- but I'm guessing there will be a lot of times when stuff they eventually plan to show off to the general public will be well known by the fans long before it makes it to the front page.

I don't see how this is disappointing.

This is exactly the same 'first excerpt' they've done for every campaign setting they've released so far. It's the 'This is what Dark Sun is' excerpt, and it SHOULD be the first one in the list.

Prepare to have your mind blown:

They plan to sell the campaign setting to new players as well as old Dark Sun fans. To do that, they need to do the 'this is what it is' excerpt. And that should come first, otherwise the other excerpts are simply not as effective.
