Netproject: Armor of Athas
Written by Raddu, and first published on 2012-03-26
In the late 90’s a series of unofficial Dark Sun Netprojects were created on the Dark Sun mailing list. This list of Athasian Armor is one such project. The multitude of second edition stats for armor allowed a variance of each type of armor made from different Athasian creatures, creating a rich, detailed setting.
