[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8282332, member: 4534"] WotC did a pretty good job bringing Ravenloft into the 21st century while retaining the essence of what made the original so great. I believe they're fully capable of doing the same with Dark Sun. I have to admit that it's been about 25 years since I've cracked open a Dark Sun book at this point so I bet a lot of my memories are a bit fuzzy. But I do remember that it was one of my favorite settings from the golden age of settings! Races: I don't really need everything from the PHB to be in Dark Sun and I'm open to goliaths taking the place of half-giants as I feel they can fill that same niche rather nicely. Slavery: I think it should still be in the game. D&D has pretty much always depicted slavery as something the bad guys engage in and those bad guys are in charge of every city-state except for Tyr. But I realize it's a bit more complicated than that. They could just make sure they don't depict slavery in anything but a negative light but at some point PCs will likely have to deal with someone who has slaves or are in a city-state where slavery is common. You don't want every adventure turning into a quest to free all the slaves, right? But does that constitute condoning the practice? Admittedly, D&D is not a game where I go for deep thinking. I'm just out to have a good time. [/QUOTE]
