Dark Sun 3 R7 - Two chapters released
As you might know, we are releasing the final version of Dark Sun 3 (R7) chapter by chapter. <p>
Two chapters have now been released: “Magic and Psionics” and “Monsters” . </p><p>
The Magic and Psionics chapter now includes information on the Athasian cosmology. We have also converted a lot of 2nd edition spells and powers, in addition to writing brand new ones, and we have revamped domains for clerics. </p><p>
The Monsters chapter has a completely new and extended format, and the selection of monsters will be familiar to those who own the original Dark Sun campaign boxed set. </p><p>
You will find all the released chapters here.</p>

site: Adding comments
So, I’ve been busily hacking away at various and sundry parts of the site backend. New today: Comments on articles.
Each article consists of one or more sections. I just pushed out an update that allows anyone to leave a comment on a particular section of an article. So, if you have a comment on a particular domain listed in the most recent article, it will be listed next to the relevant portion of the article.
I have eventual plans to use the code that runs the article sections and apply it to things that are not article – say, a race writeup. This comment code will travel with it. As such, feedback is highly appreciated – send a mail to flip@athas.org with any comments on the comments.
Wanted: Playtesters
Athas.org seeks playtesters to evaluate material for projects in development. As a playtester you woill gain early access to new Dark Sun material. In return you will playtest the material, preferably with your gaming group, and provide us with feedback.
Update: We have enough playtesters for the time being. If we need more, we will announce a new round of applications. Thanks to everyone who has volunteered.
