[QUOTE="Mark Hope, post: 1956816, member: 27051"] Yeah, the stuff at athas.org is currently primarily focussed on getting the rules-base converted to 3e and stabilised. [URL=http://www.athas.org/releases/wisdom/WisdomOfTheDrylanders.zip]Wisdom of the Drylanders[/URL] is all fluff and covers a variety of aspects of Athasian culture, from language to slavery to the various races. [URL=http://www.athas.org/releases/csod/CSoD.pdf]City State of Draj[/URL] details (oddly enough) the City State of Draj and doesn't require any great knowledge of the setting to use. [URL=http://www.athas.org/downloads/darksunnetbookv3.zip]The Dark Sun Netbook[/URL] is an old 2e product. Parts of it are hit/miss but it does contain the excellent [i]The Good and the Green[/i] article, which gives an excellent insight into DS halfling culture. If you fancy spending the $4 or $5, head over to SVGames and grab a copy of the original [URL=http://store.yahoo.com/svgames-store/ds2400esd.html]Dark Sun Boxed Set[/URL]. Thsi contains the [i]Wanderer's Journal[/i], a great overview of the core setting. The [URL=http://store.yahoo.com/svgames-store/ds2438esd.html]Revised Boxed Set[/URL] features the [i]Wanderer's Chronicle[/i], which covers a larger area and is updated to incorporate the material from the Prism Pentad novels. As the novels changed the core setting so drastically, there are those who prefer the original material to the revised material. On the other hand, the revised stuff expands the playing area to a huge degree and is the one to read if you are after a historical perspective, as that is missing from the original set. Hosted at a few places online (this one is at Nyt's kewl site :) ) is the [URL=http://www.crimsonsun.org/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=196]Official Timeline[/URL], which details all the salient points of Dark Sun history. Probably worth the read. [/QUOTE]
