Dark Sun
No law rules the blasted wastes of Athas, except the laws carved by blades or shaped by magic. Civilized realms suffer under the oppressive rule of sorcerer-kings. Will you rise up, with allies to guard your back and your water? Or will the scorched lands under the dying sun claim yet another band of fools?

The Dark Sun campaign setting will be available in 2010.

Marauders of the Dune Sea
New! Release Date: August 17, 2010

Dark Sun Creature Catalog
New! Release Date: August 17, 2010
This supplement for the Dark Sun Campaign Setting collects the most iconic and dangerous monsters of the Dark Sun campaign setting into one handy tome. It also contains other hazards and threats found in the desert wastelands and dungeon tombs of Athas.
The thousand-year reign of the evil sorcerer king Kalak is coming to an end. But the city of Tyr -- like the rest of the world of Athas -- has been left a magic-blasted ruin, a desolate place of dust, blood, and fear.
The city of Tyr is free at last. But with newfound freedom comes the chaos wrought of the bitterness of millennia of slavery. Tyr may have been freed, only to die.
