I’m pleased to announce that our newest anthology of adventures, entitled Adventures in the Dead Lands, is available for free download! Come explore all the various regions of the Dead Lands with 14 unique adventures set to a wide range of levels. There are also rules within handling the practical aspects of adventuring in the lands, as well as rules for creating undead PCs (the Unbound).
Are your players ready for the challenge?
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.
It’s with great pride that we announce The Burnt World of Athas’ newest release! This project has been in various states of completion for over 20 years! It was one of the formative documents given to us by Wizards of the Coast in the transition from 2nd edition to 3rd edition. Secrets of the Deadlands is a major expansion of the world to the south of the tablelands. Over 10 years ago we released Terrors of the Dead Lands, and now with Secrets of the Dead Lands half of the project is released. The other two part of the project, Faces of the Deadlands and The Emissary, are expected to release in April and May of 2022 respectively).
A huge thank you to everyone who’s worked on this project over the 3 teams that have had it, without each of you we couldn’t have completed it. Daniel Bandera, Brax, Austin Butcher, and Jack Meyer (aka Neujack on the forums) were the project developers since we’ve had it, taking over from the original designers and developers, Timothy Brown and Doug Stewart. Thanks to the artists, editors, and cartographers who made this book more than just words.
We woudln’t be here today without Jack Meyer’s determination to just pick up the documents in 2020 and pull together a great team of volunteer fans to push this dead mekillot over the finish line! As a result of Jack’s tireless work to finish Secrets of the Deadlands we’ve elevated Jack to the position of Templar, the first in several years and we expect more soon. Classically Templars at Athas.org have been project managers. And with 2 more projects to be released Jack is already running like an elf! Welcome Jack!
