I noticed in passing at my local gaming store that the past few issues had been running darksun and athas articles...

if anyone's bought those issues i'd be instantly and immeasurably greatful if they'd be willing to either sell them to me or fax me copies.

I plan to run the athas.org darksun sooner or later and those articles would be a great help.....

thanks in advance.

You can order back issues of Dragon and Dungeon, unless they've changed that policy. Faxing them would be illegal.

yes, it would be illegal. Even if someone faxed me a copy only so I could preview them until my copies get here...

Could someone be so kind to tell me which issues (both Dragon and Dungeon) had Dark Sun articles? Since number 250.

Suggestion to Athas.org:

Update the Dark Sun Article section and list the newer Dragon and Dungeon issues containing Dark Sun articles.

(I know it's easier (and faster) to suggest something than it is to actually do it.)

In addition to those listed on athas.org's articles page and those mentioned above by BigBubba, there is also Dragon #284 (which had a little campaign nugget about Korgunard's apprentice Xaymon) and Dragon #315, which had Dave Noonan's defiler rules.

I don't remember the exact issue #, but there was a cool Dragon (2e days) that had some Athas-specific weapons.

Thank you all for the Help, I will try to get those Mags via ebay. One more question. Some years ago I bought the Dragon Magazine Archive CD-ROMs, was it ever updated?

If that's everything, I'll update it sometime tomorrow ...

Sad ... I used to have links to a whole bunch of the old articles. But that was long ago, when Wizards used to have *ahem* findable content on their site ... their Dragon archives vanished long ago.

Issue #185, which also featured a small DS Monstrous Compendium article.

Does anybody know of any instances that come to mind where outsiders are mentioned in Athas , whether in Dark Sun campaign material or otherwise?
I've seen a reference to Orcus visiting Athas and stealing Rhulisti technology in the Planescape adventure Dead Gods, but other than that, the only thing I've seen where feral cannibalistic halflings in Baldur's Gate II on board the planar sphere......

Maybe you should start a separate thread for this, TerminusVortexa.
