- Dark_Sun abstract "Dark Sun is an original Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting set in the fictional, post-apocalyptic desert world of Athas. The product line began with the original Dark Sun Boxed Set setting was released for AD&D in 1991 The product and was supported by TSR until 1996. It was one of TSR's most successful releases. In 2010, Wizards of the Coast released and updated setting and rulebook for the setting using the fourth edition rules. Dark Sun is notable for its innovative metaplot, influential art work, dark themes, and its genre bending take on traditional fantasy role-playing game.The original designers chose to drop the standard feudalistic backdrop of its contemporaries such as Greyhawk or Forgotten Realms in favor of a gritty composite of dark fantasy, planetary romance, and the Dying Earth subgenre. Rather than creating another pseudo-medieval, Tolkienesque setting, Dark Sun's designers created a savage, magic-ravaged desert world where resources, such as metal and water, are scarce and survival is a daily struggle. The traditional fantasy races and character classes were changed or omitted to better suit the setting's darker themes. Dark Sun further differentiated itself from its contemporaries by there being no true deities and by making arcane magic reviled for causing the planet's current ecological fragility. Due to a tie-in with the Complete Psionics Handbook during the original 1991 release psionics are as ubiquitous as magic is in other fantasy worlds.The iconic art work of Gerald Brom often inspired the direction of the content and established a trend of game products produced under the direction of a single artist. The second edition setting was supported by numerous source and adventure books as well as novels penned most notably by Troy Denning all of which were closely tied into the setting's groundbreaking metaplot. It was the first TSR setting to come with an established metaplot out of the box and its dramatic advancement through its novels and source books was groundbreaking.Its popularity endured long after the setting was no longer supported by Dungeons & Dragons' new parent company Wizards of the Coast with a lively online community developing in its place. Notable material was produced for the third edition rules by fans at Athas.org and by Paizo via open game license agreements.A new edition of Dark Sun was released in 2010 for the fourth edition. The game designers wanted to capture the feel of the original 1991 boxed set while opening the setting up to all of the possible adventures and options offered by the new edition. Though not technically a reboot, some of the characters, races, and setting details from the previous editions were changed or removed. The new setting rules continued Dark Sun's tradition of innovation by introducing character themes which provided background, character elements, and additional powers to newly created characters. Many former variant classes such as elemental priests, gladiators, and templars were replaced with these character themes.".
