Dark Sun’s Art Unsung Hero
Aug 26th
I’ve commented at length on the art of the Dark Sun excerpts thinking it would apply to the Campaign Setting as a whole. I also crowned Wayne Reynolds as the quintessential Dark Sun artist. Now that I have the Campaign Setting and have seen all the work inside, it looks like Jason A. Engle deserves a hero’s welcome. More >
Athas: The Past Is Dead
Aug 5th
There is a common thread that is woven in every Dark Sun novel and short story. It’s the idea that the Green Age was the way the world of Athas should be and that preservers, druids, and their ilk work to restore the world to that standard. This concept often infects Dark Sun campaigns having the players fighting evil defilers and helping restore the world to its former (green) glory. This noble ideal restricts a great deal of possibilities for not only story telling, but also game play. I’ve found the world far more interesting and unique when there are some key ideas put in place. More >
Dark Sun 4E Art Critique
Jul 30th
I’ve scolded the artistic choices of past books before (and also applauded artists of the past), so I thought I would comment on the art (artists) of upcoming books. Dark Sun is fast approaching and the excerpts are being released with artwork, presumably artwork which will be in the campaign setting book. I’d like to give my thoughts on the “fit” of the art and artists featured in the Dark Sun campaign setting excerpts. More >
Social Networking

The act of using social networking sites, for the express purpose of seeing what others are doing in their personal lives, does not appeal to me. I am quite alone in this thinking. More >
Returning To The Blasted World
Jun 10th
On June 9th, 2010 I once again walked on Athas by going to the first game of season 2 of D&D Encounters entitled Dark Sun: Fury of the Wastewalker. I’ve never been that interested in gaming at these events, preferring the company of a well established group, but I couldn’t pass up a chance to play Dark Sun before the August release. More >
