I know this site is dedicated to the Forgotten Realms but I have also a question about the Dark Sun campaign setting. I just found a second edition campaign boxed set in my local shop and bought it. I was wondering if there is also a third edition source of it in dragons or dungeon magazines?
Does someone known of it ? |

You do know Athas is very difficult to reach via planar travel or spelljamming because the Crystal Sphere of Athas is situated in a planar storm of a sort. So it's not easy to explain putting stuff from other worlds on the burning planet, or dropping a realms party into Athas.
Ooh I do love the story of the cataclysm caused by magic gone horribly wrong, defilers and preserver mages, Muls and Thrikreen, the bone (splinter on a natural 1) weapons. Man i wanna join in! Alas
Burningly hot winds... |

May I ask if and what your planning to use Darksun for anytime soon? Because a full understanding of the psionics rules is adamant for playing on the burning world of Athas.
I knew someone who used the conversion rules from the dragon mags and who liked using psionics. It was a real blast playing in the city state of Tyr with 3rd edition and experimental gestalt rules. Encountering psionic streetgangs who bully with their mind was a real eye opener to the power of a psionics filled world. Be wary and give players higher than 2nd level PC's to start with. Otherwise they will end up in the dead book in no time. |

There is no "official" 3e full conversion of the Dark Sun setting. Paizo published both a special issue of DRAGON [#319] and DUNGEON [#110] which update "parts" of the setting, the races, etc -- they function like a 3e PHB and DMG for DS.
Otherwise, the only 3e work being doing for Athas resides at the site Blake indicated above.
