While wizards is busy upgrading it’s forum system, I’d like to take this opportunity to point visitors to the arena, our local message board.

Site back up

We just renewed our domain. Apologies for worries and inconveniences to any fans trying to access the site during the renewal process. Everything is fine now.

Status update

We are currently discussing how to revitalize the Secrets of the Dead Lands project, probably the most ambitious project at athas.org to date.

We will break this down into a series of smaller projects to make it more manageable.

  • An adventure
  • A rules and NPC guide (3.5)
  • A guide to the undead kingdoms
  • A city-state accessory

That´s it for news for now.

technical difficulties

Sorry folks, having some issues with the server at the moment. The main site seems to be okay (now) but the arena is still having some issues.

update: arena is fixed.

Thanks to everyone for submitting feedback through the feedback forms on the site. Do know that we read all your comments, even if we do not have the resources to respond by e-mail.

Playtest Report bug fixed

There was a bit of a formatting error that snuck into one of the playtest reports – it confused the autoformatter. I’ve fixed the playtest report generator so that it won’t choke on bad data, and the page should be alive again
