Opinions on a few DarkSun products wanted...

Dark Sun stuff you should own

Dark light,

If you don't already have them, you HAVE to own the following DS books in this order (both homebrew and setting):

Original or Revised Boxed set (I prefer original)
Dragon Kings
Terrors of the Desert (MM1)
Earth, Air, Fire and Water
Terrors Beyond Tyr (MM2)

Material you may be interested in for home brew, but I don't consider necessary for DS:

Psionic Artifacts of Athas (way over the top)

Highly recommended Setting Material (in order of preference):
Veiled Alliance
Valley of Dust and Fire
Ivory Triangle
Elves of Athas
Slave Tribes
Desert Trader
Thrikeen of Athas

Enjoy.

Well, my intention is not to recreate a homebrew world similar to Dark Sun, but merely to have a bit of material to base parts of my homebrewed 'New Hope' world on. In New Hope, humans are fairly new settlers on the continent where an ancient civilization once flourished. City by the Silt Sea is supposed to form the basis of a ruined city from that old civilization, and Dragon Crown, well thats just cause it's cheap, and I really like to read rpg stuff, plus there might be some cool ideas to steal.

If I really like this stuff, I might be tempted to get a few of the ESD's from SVGames of the other Dark Sun stuff.
