The final version will include more art, maps, possibly more encounters, and maybe other elements as well. Note that the alpha release uses a hybrid between the former iteration and the current iteration of the DS 3.5 Core Rules. The final release will use the latest version of the DS 3.5 Core Rules. You can download Dregoth Ascending Part II: The Quest alpha release from the athas.org site: http://athas.org/releases/dregothascending/da_chapter2-alpha1.pdf

"Can't wait to play this." "About freaking time!" etc. There is also a playtest report thread for more elaborate feedback on the adventure, where you can report bugs etc: http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?p=6583350

#6 elonarc Jul 01, 2005 3:36:34	:D And I told Sysane, who seemed very eager to see the final version of the Scorcher, several times to ask Pikachu about it. He never did...but I also didn't want to just write "I know. I made it." I am a mean Pokémon... :evillaugh

#8 Pennarin Jul 01, 2005 10:24:13	Hehe, the clues Elonarc left behind for Sysane were fun to read. I think the sword sucks too.
#9 zombiegleemax Jul 01, 2005 18:04:08	Aye the swords sucks....it needs some oomf to it! Vorpal? Sharpness? Btw....wtf! DA 3?!!!! I was hoping this would be the end of it! Where/when is the DA 3 coming out? -Iintroneurotic

#11 jon_oracle_of_athas Jul 02, 2005 4:00:27	Yeah, so much for the "Design the Scorcher contest". Just because all of your ideas weren't used, doesn't mean there wasn't a lot of idea pooling on the sword.
#12 jon_oracle_of_athas Jul 02, 2005 4:05:34	Aye the swords sucks....it needs some oomf to it! Vorpal? Sharpness? The other two were joking (inside humour). If you think the sword needs some more oomf, please provide the reasoning for it in the feedback thread. A designer's choice answer would be provided in said thread. http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?p=6583350
#13 jon_oracle_of_athas Jul 02, 2005 4:19:24	Btw....wtf! DA 3?!!!! I was hoping this would be the end of it! Where/when is the DA 3 coming out? Part 3 is scheduled for release Spring 2008, but it will only be released in Zimbabwe. Part 4 is scheduled for release Autumn 2012 in Japan, Iceland and Malta. We'll skip Part 5 and release Part 6 in 2030 - on Mars if everything goes as planned. :P Just kidding. Part 3, the final part of the Dregoth Ascending trilogy, is scheduled for release this Christmas.

Will passages like "During his travels Dregoth discovered the presence and worshipping of actual true gods, something previously unknown to the world of Athas.... is now putting events in motion, hoping to become Athas's first true god....the gods of the planes have never turned their attentions towards the world of Athas.... [t]he spiritual conduits that allow the gods of other worlds to draw strength from their worshipers don’t exist on Athas, and so the powers of the planes have turned away from the inhabitants since the earliest days of existence." do anything to stop the "so, do you think Athas might really have once had gods?" threads? Probably not.
#15 jon_oracle_of_athas Jul 03, 2005 4:27:35	Seems like Kevin puts the lid on the discussion with that paragraph, doesn't it? ;)
