Ever since finishing Secrets of the Dead Lands and The Emissary, The Pristine Tower Development Group have been hard at work building adventures for the upcoming Adventures in the Dead Lands supplement, due to be released later this year. But first, the adventures for this upcoming book need playtesting.

This is where you, our dear Athas.org community, come in.

We will be releasing the adventures for playtesting as they are ready, announcing them here with open registration to download the beta releases to try on your adventuring parties. In exchange for your reviews and feedback, your ideas will be rolled into the adventures and you and your players will appear in the credits for the finished book!

The first adventure is already ready for review, entitled The Tunnel Beneath. Click on the link to sign up and download today!

This is a reimagining of the original series (posted on the Dark Sun Facebook group) with rewritten entries and more locations, all still with the intention of highlighting rarely visited areas on the Revised 2nd edition map.
