May 30, 2008 8:35:08 A final release of the Life-Shaping Handbook is now available here. LSH contains rules for creating life-shaped items and creatures, 2 new character races, almost 30 new feats, 8 new prestige classes, and more than 30 new monsters.

This final release incorporates community feedback, a new chapter with 3 adventure sites, and a new monster.

The Life-Shaping Handbook is designed for use in any Dark Sun 3.5 game. You will need the Player’s Handbook (PH), Dungeon Master’s Guide (DMG), Monster Manual (MM) as well as the Dark Sun Core Rules (DS3) to make use of the material in this book.

All you've got to do now is re-write the whole thing for 4e :P

For what I heard from people who came in contact with the "accidental 4e D&D pre-release", better forget.

They say, if you like "RPG", better stay in 3.5e and look forward "Pathfinder" release (at paizon.com).

May 31, 2008 9:42:03 Having just spent the last eight hours reading through an early-shipped set of the books I'd respectfully disagree - the sky isn't falling.

There are a few issues I have with them, there are definitely hurdles to overcome for those who plan on using 4e in Darksun campaigns.
Directing my thoughts on it to another thread though.
