#2 jon_oracle_of_athas Nov 12, 2004 13:58:14	I'd have to ask Gab to be sure, but I believe our material should be set in Free Year 11 or later. As for new adventures, Dregoth Ascending part I: The Day of Light is in the works.
#3 zombiegleemax Nov 12, 2004 17:28:02	Sounds cool, is it going to be a war sorta thing, like with minatures rules?
#4 jon_oracle_of_athas Nov 13, 2004 5:09:09	No miniature rules.
#5 zombiegleemax Nov 13, 2004 11:58:41	too bad. I have lots of dark sun minatures
#6 zombiegleemax Nov 13, 2004 16:27:38	As for new adventures, Dregoth Ascending part I: The Day of Light is in the works. as stated on the Athas.org site for a very long time now: "Wake of the Ravager is the exciting first adventure in the Dregoth Ascending trilogy" if Dregoth Acending was actually finished by TSR and simply never released (as indicated in a few interviews and such)..... then the names of the adventures should be set already.. can you explain this change?.. who has the original official TSR unpublished works for Dregoth Acending?... maybe its time to ask WotC if they can be scanned and released in .pdf format.. I've heard theres actually a few home-printed high-quality copies of Dregoth Ascending floating around from a convention many years ago... these could be scanned and released instead?...

Read the FAQ.
#8 zombiegleemax Nov 13, 2004 18:50:36	Read the FAQ. yep... I've read it before.... and I just went and read it again.... and it didnt answer a single question I asked... all it does is talk about the conversion to 3.5.... what I asked is: 1. WHO currently has the actual TSR AD&D 2E unpublished works? 2. has anyone asked WotC for the right to scan and release that 2E version to the public? (like the svgames.com .pdf files for example) 3. there were some high quality printed versions made for prizes at a convention many years ago... these could be scanned if the original TSR files cannot be found?..
#9 Pennarin Nov 13, 2004 19:08:14	1. A couple of people, but you won't get any. Sorry. Keep reading. 2. What the FAQ means - short of being 20 pages of crystal clear exposition covering every possible angle of enquiry - is that the burnt-in-the-stone rule of WotC to not release unpublished 2E manuscripts before they're adapted to 3E is a big impassable wall. Maybe after a 3E version gets out the manuscripts will be legally downloadable (but from what I hear they're not a pretty sight being just manuscripts/first drafts and all). So a short answer is Yes someone has asked WotC for the right to scan and release that 2E version to the public and No is the answer, explanation above. 3. I swear that was in the FAQ also. Those were poison-wrapped copies of the manuscripts handed out at GenCon (about 4 copies I think), meaning no one had the right to distribute it in any way (scan&upload it, xerox it, snail-mail distribution ring,...). Oooo, I feel a sudden urge to hook-up with Cliff... The blasphemy...quick somebody hit me over the head! 1. WHO currently has the actual TSR AD&D 2E unpublished works? 2. has anyone asked WotC for the right to scan and release that 2E version to the public? (like the svgames.com .pdf files for example) 3. there were some high quality printed versions made for prizes at a convention many years ago... these could be scanned if the original TSR files cannot be found?..

Still illegal.

#12 jon_oracle_of_athas Nov 25, 2004 11:54:51	"Wake of the Ravager is the exciting first adventure in the Dregoth Ascending trilogy" If Dregoth Acending was actually finished by TSR and simply never released (as indicated in a few interviews and such)..... then the names of the adventures should be set already.. can you explain this change?.. Dregoth Ascending was in no format that could be released with integrity. It wasn't a trilogy of adventures to begin with, it was a single adventure in the scale of Dragon's Crown and Black Spine. The title "Wake of the Ravager" could easily be confused with the computer game Wake of the Ravager, thus the title change of part I to "The Day of Light".
