Ten years of meta-plot that turns the entire campaign setting on its ear.Twin Agate Dragons wrote:I only got into Dark Sun through the revised boxed set, so I don't know what the differences between the two are.
Yeah, just the Prism Pentad series that came out concurrently with and after the publication of the boxed set did that. IMO, one of the worst decisions they made with Dark Sun (which I initially loved). Below par novels featuring annoying characters and scenarios that didn't really fit too well with what was established in the boxed set itself (at least in places), and then completely upending the entire boxed set campaign by the 5th book only 2 years later!night_druid wrote:Ten years of meta-plot that turns the entire campaign setting on its ear.

This. And the fact that the stick was an artifact helps, tooJorkens wrote:Maybe he didn't have any manners. Not everyone knows that one should defer to the elderly.Carthaginian wrote:I never understood how a slave with a pointy stick could kill a wizard 100 times his age!

Yep, sounds like I need to pick this one up as well.Knightfall wrote:Do it!
I have the revised set and it one of my favorite 2e references. The changes they made didn't bother me as much. Plus, it has a very cool fabric map of the Tyr Region. The other maps show parts of Athas not detailed in the original boxed set.
That probably means that it will be missing from a lot of the second-hand boxed sets.Lord Torath wrote:Still, the cloth map is awesome!
Congrats Havard.Havard wrote:I just got the original Dark Sun boxed set for 2nd Ed. Am I right that the original is the most popular for 2nd Ed?
