Sep 03, 2003 2:04:03 Okay, that was rough. I do apologize for the bare fangs.

Athas.org is still working on the poject. You can get the latest download of the core rules document at their site. In (hopefully) a few weeks or less they're going to post an update of the rules to be compatable with the 3.5 revisions.

Dark Sun is not likely to ever see print. The only material being officially created for it will be by Athas.org. WOTC is not going to be printing any more DS products and no 3rd party publishers have made any other inquiries about picking up the DS license since AEG(?) last year or the year before (at least not that I know of and I've got a pretty good range of hearing).

Sorry to hear that it isn't going to be in print. I was really looking forward to it.

Sep 04, 2003 0:08:51 Is the site down or am I going to the wrong url? www.athas.org is that right or is it something else? I keep getting the 404 page.

Sep 04, 2003 0:12:39 The athas.org team is doing a fine job of creating a rules set for it, available in PDF form. Print it out and the only thing missing is a cover and a 30-40 dollar deduction from your checking account. Can't beat free (and the artwork ain't too shabby either). They've also released two adventures, a monster supplement for the Deadlands region, and a sourcebook for the City State of Draj. Once again, all for free.

Personally, I hope DS never sees print again ;), but that's just me. Besides, if it were being made by WOTC or some 3rd party publisher, not only would it cost money, but we, the community, wouldn't be able to chunk out so much great input about the creation proccess . . . [/end sarcasm].

Only if the DNS servers haven't updated themselves yet. hen both would work. IP addresses (the 4-numbers with dots kind) work just fine, once you're up on the 'net, you can be accessed by your IP.
