Not that I know of but I almost feel bad for athas.org now. They have put in years of hard work updating old material, fleshing out new material, converting classes and an entire magic system. They went through conversion to 3.5 and now PF is out, on top of that WotC is officially releasing a 4e Dark Sun product next year.

I was in a 3.5 Dark Sun campaign for about 2.5 years using Athas.org material primarily and it was the best game I ever played in. Now I'm sort of afraid that if we go back to that game my DM will want to run it in 4e. If Athas.org converted to PF I think I could convince him to run that instead. Honestly the PF races/classes are more in line with the power level of Dark Sun anyway.

We'll see if Paizo puts out any Psionics material.


The people over there our amazing.
I feel sorry for them too. I just hope they stay in pre 4e format. Sadly I've been disappointed allot.


Site is not found did they take it down??


Well the site is down and all but wiped off the face of the internet. Hmmm, letvme hazard a guess as to who could do such a thing. It would have to be someone big and powerful, someone with the ability to force possible legal action, someone like

WOTC

Honestly this doesn't surprise me that they would shut down Athas.org/wipe out any and all material for 3.5/because they want only their 4E product to exist.

Its disgusting the lengths WOTC will go to to eliminate and erase any and all traces of their former product to force this 4E conversion. For me its just one more reason to not buy or support their products.

Hopefully I'm wrong and its just a server/maintenance issue.

Sorry I can never tell anymore these days. ;)

I wouldn't totally rule it out as to the future of that website: WOTC is officially developing DARK SUN as a campaign setting.

Yeah as their latest 4E campaign rape... I mean table top MMORPG... I mean setting.

Sorry Freudian Slips there a-plenty.

(if you can't tell I'm anti-4E, because its such a bastardization of what D&D was.)

I'm just glad a company like Paizo had the foresight to pick up on WOTC mistake to screw all the 3.5 players, and provide us with a quality product that still supports almost a decade's worth of material.

I'd be careful about the edition-war flamebait. They don't put up with it around here.

You're right, sorry about that. Sometimes it slips.


I've been waiting for a relaunch of Dark Sun for a long time. I'll wait and see how they handle the 4e release and I might just run a 4e Dark Sun alongside my other PF games.

Just so everyone knows, WotC just re-released Troy Denning's Prism Pentad series. It's a great read, and highly recommended.


I think 4e athas will be like FR realms...a whole new setting just using names from the old one

DS was a great, great setting.

Yeah, I'm not really sure how they'd pull it off as a setting, it was convoluted enough for 2nd and 3rd edition. It will probably use the new psionics rulebook, but not sure how they would work the magic=dead land thing, it seems that all of the classes utilize some form of magic.
