#1 zombiegleemax Feb 11, 2006 20:02:15	What were the Dragon magazine issues that had conversions for the Dark Sun campaign setting? I've been thinking of running a game on Athas, and conversions done by official WotC authorized magazines are nearer to my likings. Danke gut. (Don't ask me why that's in German/Deutsch.)
#2 Kamelion Feb 11, 2006 20:16:23	What were the Dragon magazine issues that had conversions for the Dark Sun campaign setting? I've been thinking of running a game on Athas, and conversions done by official WotC authorized magazines are nearer to my likings. Danke gut. (Don't ask me why that's in German/Deutsch.) Here are the recent issues of Dragon and Dungeon magazine that have featured articles on the Dark Sun setting: Dragon #315 - Defiler rules and t'liz template. Dragon #319 - Dark Sun Players Handbook. Dragon #339 - Dragon Kings prestige class. Dungeon #110 - Dark Sun DM's Guide and monsters. Dungeon #111 - More Dark Sun monsters. All of these, apart from the dragon kings article, were penned by Dave Noonan as part of Paizo's general Dark Sun crossover event between the two magazines. The dragon kings article in #339 was commissioned by Paizo from athas.org and stands separate from the other articles, although it is compatible with them.

I think 319 is the one's you are looking for.... ...and it's "Danke schön!" not "Danke gut" :P

As to those conversions done by official WotC authorized websites whose authors some times are the same as the magazines'? :P
#6 ruhl-than_sage Feb 12, 2006 10:24:00	Athas.org releases are official :P
#7 elonarc Feb 12, 2006 12:18:51	Athas.org releases are official :P ...and authorized. :P

#9 zombiegleemax Feb 12, 2006 21:02:00	athas.org is better yes, since Paizo is so insistent that all content in their magazines has to be compatible with any setting. yet, that's what makes Dark Sun stand apart from the other settings is that it's its own unique setting. The only setting I'd even dream of making it compatible with would be Planescape. Combining it with Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Greyhawk or even Spelljammer would be wrong to say the least. Ravenloft is another possibility, but to me only as long as it's set in Kalidnay and doesn't cross those borders. Paizo should seriously toss that mandate out the window when they deal with Dark Sun stuff and put a disclaimer at the start of each article saying: NOT INTENDED TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER SETTINGS- TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
