[QUOTE="Mournblade94, post: 5329486, member: 74608"] This ALMOST got me to go back to WOTC products. It looked nice, and honestly if Pathfinder was never made I might have gone back and commited to the rules beyond PHB I and played Dark Sun. Its just not worth the buy of the next 2 years of books just to play darksun when i inherently do not like the system. It is somewhat disappointing though. I suspect if Darksun was released BEFORE Forgotten Realms, I would have been much more tolerant with the changeover. Darksun was a perfect match. It drastically altered the common tropes of classic fantasy, just as 4e destroyed many of the earlier editions' mechanics. Darksun may have made 4e more palatable for me. I was on the fence with 4e when I first started running it, then when the Forgotten Realms was released I was pretty much convinced the system could not support the way I have always been playing D&D (Except for 2nd edition Darksun), and I jumped ship.
