Jun 15, 2013 16:48:50 I have been playing 4 e for about 4 years. And our group loves it, we have been playing in the never winter area. We are wanting to try a different setting, the two that were discussed were eberon and dark sun, with dark sun based on what we read, more up our ally....with that said why are the dark sin campaign guide for 4 e. so bloody expensive. On amazon.ca its like 120 bucks on the .com site its 50. Yet other guides are more in the 25-30 dollar range.. Even eberon and forgotten realms are waaaaaay cheaper. Why is it that dark sun is so costly ? Also are there any published modules for the 4 e dark sun setting. Thanks

Jun 16, 2013 2:03:07 id guess its more expensive because its less popular. supply and demand principles and all...... and there is a few dark sun adventures in the magazines but they only go up to like, lvl 5 maybe? if you are good at home brewing storys, then DS is for you. its a rich and fantastic world with lots of opportunity for embellishment. if you prefer modules and premade games, id stick with Ebberon and the P.O.L setting.

Jun 16, 2013 21:32:47 No, there's a lot of published adventures for Dark Sun 4E, going well through Paragon levels, ESPECIALLY if you include the Ashes of Athas 4E stuff that's now readily available.

Unfortunately most of it is of uneven quality (the AoA stuff and a few scattered other things excepted), but it's good to mine for ideas, encounters, plots, etc. Mix it up with your own ideas and with conversions of 2E stuff and you've got a TON to run.

The price is high because the demand for the product is higher than the supply available.
