Kyle Brink the Executive Producer of Dungeons and Dragons at Wizards of the Coast was asked about Dark Sun in an interview with Bob the Worldbuilder concerning the recent OGL debacle.
His response…“I’ll be frank here, the Dark Sun setting is problematic in a lot of ways. And that’s the main reason we haven’t come back to it. We know it’s got a huge fan following and we have standards today that make it extraordinarily hard to be true to the source material and also meet our ethical and inclusion standards. We know there’s love out there for it and god we would love to make those people happy, and also we gotta be responsible. “.

DSE-03 Stolen Heritage
A recently discovered cache of ancient artifacts in the wastelands has sent many in the city-state of Tyr abuzz with curiosity and excitement. House Vordon is organizing an exclusive auction to sell all the items found to the highest bidder.
This adventure scenario for the DARK SUN Campaign Setting is designed by Sebastien Gamache for play in a 4-hour session with 3 to 6 players using 6th level characters.
We need volunteers to GM this scenario during the Dark Sun Game Day, so if you want to GM send me a pm with the time slots on the 18th, VTT platform (if used), edition/system and I will schedule your event. GMs who volunteer will receive a GM copy of the scenario with edition-neutral stats as well as 5E stats on Feb 11th.
Athas.org is please to announce that the playtest for Jewel in the Hive, our newest adventure from Adventures in the Dead Lands, is open for enrollment.
I’ve finished off some additional updates to the Resources section of the site. The dropdown menu now has a “Files” entry, which contains downloadable resources. These are unofficial content, intended as player and DM aids to help make running and playing on Athas a little smoother. As of launch, it contains the DS3 character sheet, a collection of VTT maps, and a player’s handout overview of the City-States
Some of these resources are also attached to an appropriate product; for example Dark Sun 1 now has links to several VTT maps for it’s intro adventure, A little knowledge.
