And I mean that with every bit of hatred and vehemence I can put into the word.I blame Slaviscek and Denning for taking this cool awesome world and then pissing all over it. And yes, I know Denning created the world. But he should have stopped there. Its one thing to have a bit of metaplot in your setting but when your metaplot COMPLETELY changes everything about the setting that made it cool in the first place, then there is a big problem.Rain storms, bio-organic halfings, killing off half the sorcer-kings, grass savannas beyond the tablelands!! Seriously, what crack pipe were they smoking when they came up with this stuff?And that doesn't even get into all the rules changes and nerfs. I mean WTF is up with that watered down wuss-ass version of the strength chart in the revised setting!?!?Athas is a grim brutal world where only the strong survive. Characters are supposed to be stronger than normal! It not only fit the setting perfectly, but added both style and mechanical flavor to the setting. And they just pissed all over that!!!!!!!Sorry to go off on a rant, but as a long time (original) Dark Sun fan who has both played and DMed it, this has bothered me for years! And now I can finally get this off my chest on this great messageboard and be heard by fellow Dark Sun fans.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
