Hi, hello all, my name's Alex, hereby known as Penn, and I'm not a workaholic. No, really, I'm not. Meth and Jon can testify.

I do love Dark Sun though, and I've been away for a spell, but now am back. You'll notice from my profile I've been here for far longer than you have, so you can already give up arguing and simply take everything I say as the truth, Jon's lightning bolts and slave-tending tembos as backup for my claims.

Now, let's .... and who are you again? Ah, yes, doesn't matter anyway. Let's now return to more of me.

The facts having been settled, please do not rush in with too many requests for my help and encyclopedic knowledge. Please, contain your enthousiasm.

The presentations being over, I bid all of the old ones like me hello! And welcome also to you all, new faces on this board.

Please feel free to present to us who you are, a Dark Sun boards tradition.

Hello everybody,

I am a Pokémon and see myself as the rule-mechanics expert here. I learned my modesty from Penn.

Good to have you back!

And I'm the contributor and proofreader/copy editor that gets bossed around by them. Penn and Meth in particular. They're horrible overseers.

Athas.org should have it's license pulled for all our evils. Wicked, all of us I say.

I take a second of my precious time desiging items to herd you back to your respective slave corral spaces so you can all continue doing what you do best: working silently under the threat of the overseer's whip.

Suppose I´ll make a short presentation.

I am Jon. I toss lightning bolts and flensing bolts. When I am not doing that I am directing activities at athas.org.

Monolithic, simple, imposing. Just like the Oracle's skull-rack in Draj...

terminus_vortexa

Jul 25, 2007 14:39:11
I am the Terminus Vortexa, originator of unusual and oft-reviled ideas such as Kreen Dragons and Defiler Avangions. I've been here for a few years, and have made at least a small impact on the boards. In most cases , I defend canon Dark Sun as much as possible, with the exception of Rise and Fall of a Dragon King.

Some despise me, some ignore me, but there are a few people on the boards I consider good and solid friends.

Hail and Greetings to Elonarc, our communications prove that Jews(I'm half Jewish) and Germans (Elonarc, native to the Germany, land of the world's best beer and many beautiful women!) can get along excellently!

Props and Greets to Kalthandrix, author of many most excellent ideas and possessor of a vast well of wisdom!

Word up to NytCrawlr, one of the first people I talked with on the boards, and one of the few who has musical tastes even approaching my own!

And a fond welcome back to Pennarin, contributor of many excellent ideas to the boards and generally cool guy (for a French Canadian:D ) Good to see you making your presence known once again!

Zardnaar

Jul 25, 2007 15:04:26
My name is Z and I'm from New Zealand. I probably offend a few people here and I'm more than happy to break cano as the original materilal was often contradictory and often disagree with Athas.org espicially when it comes to Dragon/Avangion rules. First played DS in 95 and started again in 2005.

Alays happy to mine ideas from other settings as well as a few feats and classes form various material fit quite well on Athas.

So true, but a friendly and good dude you are.

I am Ruhl-Than Sage, master of the ironically misspelled name that shall plague forever. I consider myself the youngest of the wise ones. I can answer most questions and have a broad base of knowledge about many things. I am also the infrequent contributor of pretty monster pictures.

I am also known to some as the Bearded Halfling :D

Well... Hmm... I've been on the boards for a while, not as long as many others though. I got into DS back when the first boxed set came out. Picked it up, ran adventures in the world, it was great. I can still remember (as can my players) one major villain that they fought (a T'liz from the 2nd Monster Sup named Kledomir or something). Even though they no longer even live in the same city, if we ever talk about it the first response is always "I HATE that guy."

Now, I've been on the boards for a while, and have managed to be asked to join athas.org. I have worked on some up coming projects (FFN, AE, Lost Cities, LoA, and some others) and look forward to seeing how people respond to them.

Mostly, I am just happy to be here in a community that seems to be small on the flaming and trolling, and where ideas are important.

Hi. I'm new here. This is my first post.

I've been playing D&D for about 14 years, and Dark Sun is my favorite setting. I also like Planescape and Spelljammer.

Hey, I'm j0lt.
I really like the setting material of DS, but am too spoiled by d20 Modern's flexible class system to play with the D&D class system, so I mostly avoid crunch discussions. I suppose I lurk more than I participate here, but I like to think that my posts are at least properly spelled if not moderately interesting. :P

Seker did an immense d20 Modern conversion for DS, very good stuff.

So I've heard. Unfortunately, he seems to have dropped off the face of the earth.

Make a Search for "seker", and get his PM or preferably his email, and contact him.

Tried that, even tried emailing his old Athas.org address, but no replies. I don't think he uses the forum anymore either.

I'm Murkaf (you could have guessed that by looking at my name)
Started a french translation effort a while ago for Cyrus9a's maps...
Then got a real job and it slowed down...
Then got assigned actual work at my job and lost my focus on translation.

But I will eventually continue, probably by november/december (Québec paternity leave RULES!!!!!!!!) or maybe sooner...

Oninotaki

My name is Adam, but I go by Oninotaki in all my internet dealings(any mmo, or forum I am on)

I have been coming on by everyday for a number of years now and every once and awhile toss in some feed back on fluff.

Sadly I long ago gave up on playing darksun using any set of 3.0/3.5 rules and have just switched on over to using Mutants and Masterminds.

I love this setting, I enjoy these boards and I would kill for a movie based in the setting that had nothing to do with the prisim pentad or Rajaat(whom I despise):D
