Sep 10, 2004 10:20:36 I was going through my Dark Sun book collection, reading bits here and there and I came across some printout I made from 1999 of a Dark Sun Netzine called "The Sands of Athas". It contained reader submissions containing short stories, new items, powers, spells, etc. Reading through the 8 or so Issues I had, I enjoyed reading the short stories, and while most of the items and powers are outdated due to being in 2nd Ed., it certainly gave me ideas of my own.

I tried looking for the website again via google to see if by some slim chance they were still online and had no luck. Anyone have an idea of what ever happened to this netzine project?

That's the darksun Flip site. Some of the stuff that was there as been added to Athas.org website. Although, the web site is still online somewhere. To find this somewhere (because I am a bit lasy right now :D ) go to my web page at siltskimmer.net and roam through the toooooooooooooooooo much load of web site I have in my HUGE links page. It's probably in the 2e edition link.

Sep 10, 2004 11:16:44 Actually, the Sands of Athas netzine was from Chay0s' site, The Burnt World of Athas. It just never got incorporated into athas.org. I think I still have some issues on a hard drive somewhere...

Sep 12, 2004 20:29:42 Wow, this is the second thing in a month that has made me recall the times just after Dark Sun's cancellation. We were all constrained to TSR Online on AOL at the time, but I think the community was great. The Sand of Athas was a fun netzine (I contributed a few things), and the old TSR Archives were once full of fan created Dark Sun stuff.

I'll have to check out your site Grummore and see what else pops up. Stay shady everyone.

Oct 30, 2004 8:10:51 Please send them to me as well. Maybe we could post those in the articles section on athas.org, if there is demand for it.

Nov 01, 2004 18:43:43 Wow...it's been a while since I've been active on the boards.

Seeing my old name (Chay0s) come up is funny. I'm going to be running a 3.5 Dark Sun soon. I just started gaming with a new group and they all seem to be Dark Sun fans, so I thought I'd dust off my books and give it another whirl.

My computer is down right now, I have all of the original Sands of Athas on a HD somewhere. If I get it up and no one has been able to pull them together I'll let you know.

Raddu....aka Chay0s

Nov 02, 2004 7:21:57 I've got all 9 issues of TSoA. I'm in the process of cleaning them up. They should be available as PDFs on athas.org in a few days.

It's been a while Raddu! Good to see you back around here!

I know that you people at athas.org were very busy with Dregoth Ascending, Epic Rules, usw. but what's about these PDF articles? Would you still clean them up and post them soon? Or should I send a mail to you gab?

Thanxs and happy new year!!! :D
