[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 1473093, member: 7394"] I don't necessarily think that the Dragon/Dungon issues automatically supercede the excellent work done at Athas.org. Again, at your gaming table you can use whichever set of rules you want, or do like I do for a number of things and mix and match stuff until you have something you're happy with. There have been a large number of requests to bring Darksun back to print, which I'm sure is why Paizo decided to do this in the first place (not speaking for them, of course). If everyone who still likes Darksun knew about Athas.org, then I suspect the magazine articles would have been pointless in the first place. I've spoken to a number of gamers either at conventions or at gaming stores who for whatever reason just don't go online to get their gaming fix. Despite the number of hits ENWorld gets, the majority of gamers I've spoken to have never heard of this site. If the majority have never heard of ENWorld, then how many do you think have made it as far as Athas.org? I'm sure Paizo could provide us with dozens of reasons why the material at Athas.org couldn't be used for the article, but I see no reason why people can't take the best from both sources to have the game they want and then discard the parts they don't like. For those who have no other source, the magazine articles should serve their purposes.
