Hello,

I guess I might as well introduce myself since I've never posted on this specific board, so here goes: I've been playing in the Dark Sun setting off and on (mostly off though) for close to 15 years (I remember getting the original boxed set as a gift so many years ago and I still have it). Just recently when looking at storage, I found a bunch of my old 2nd Edition stuff lying around and got the sudden urge to run another DS campaign. The issue is that the people I know who game only use 3rd Edition rules (and I like 3.x rules better than AD&D anyhow).

I have enough fluff for a campaign (I didn't realize just how much stuff I had, I have close to every published DS product), but converting rules can be a pain. Besides, I've visited athas.org several times over the years and I know the folks over there (and here) have done the conversions and the quality of the stuff I saw I liked. But here's my problem: over the last 2 days, I can't seem to access the website. I keep getting messages saying "Cannot find server." Is there something currently wrong with the site? Or are there too many visitors there right now given that there's a new netbook released?

Lastly, if there's not much the admins over there can do for the month (it's a free site and I realize they don't have unlimited bandwidth), is there a mirror I can visit?

They're just having technical difficulties. If it continues, PM me and I'll email you whatever supplements you're looking for that they have made, I can do this as soon as tomorrow. They have enough rules conversions for you to run pretty much anything from the 2E materials, and all of their work is done in 3.5 rules. It's great stuff.
