First off, I would really like it if this stayed edition war free, if your a Fourth Edition fan, that’s fine I don’t care nor do I want to hear about it. Thanks.

I just want to know who is planning on staying with Third Edition, 3.5 Edition, or even Pathfinder as they are easy to convert between.

I’m planning on staying with 3.5 for a while, at least until the economy picks back up locally and I can afford researching a new game system.

I’m planning on staying with 3.5 too. 4th edition is not the D&D for me.

I’m also looking on Pathfinder, but I’ll consider to use it for a Dark Sun campaign when they’ll do an upgrade on the various psionic class (I’m too lazy to do that myself ^^’)

Going to give 4E DS a try but my intent is go back to 3.5 afterward.

Been running a DS Pathfinder campaign for 2 years now and it’s been going really well. Until recently, we were using 3.5 EPH rules with some home-brew class conversions to match the Pathfinder ones. We’ve now started using the beta versions of Dreamscarred’s conversion of the rules.

If you haven’t heard about Dreamscarred, you should check them out as they specialize in all things psionic (http://dreamscarredpress.com/dragonfly/index.php).

Among other things they’ve undertaken to convert all 3.5 psionics rules to Pathfinder rules. You can find all alpha and beta Pathfinder versions of all psionic classes and prestige classes through this link:

So, all that to say, I’m staying with 3rd/Pathfinder.

I mostly play a 2nd ed home brew, but I have no interest in 4th. 3.5 has its moments, and I like it as a system.

Thank you for the links, laric. I hope they’ll update soon all the psionic rules.

It would be very interesting to see a Pathfinder update of the Gladiator and Templar classes.

ill be dming 3.5 but i might play 4e if someone else is dming

Hey Hades,

I’ve done Pathfinder updates of the Gladiator, Templar and Bard classes.

I based all of them in the new classes that Pathfinder is releasing in Advanced Player Options: the Gladiator is based on the Cavalier (minus all the mounted combat and chivalry abilities), the templar is based on the Inquisitor and the Bard is based on the Alchemist. My gaming group seems to think that it’s worked pretty well.

Great!

Can you PM or link them, please?

Yes Laric, please share.

Hades and Phoenix, check it out (unfortunately, the tables don’t show up very well due to formatting):

I am staying 3.5 as well…..4.0 was just a money grab by Wizards so screw them….The biggest problem with 3.5 was that magic items and powerful spells were too common (Creation Feats) and therefore getting something cool, wasn’t cool anymore….Yes, I have two +5 Adamantium, Alignment switching swords of speed….Big deal!!!

Yes I am casting a Sudden Maximized Meteor Storm….Die!! (Thats wont happen in my wordl!!)

The world of DS fixes all that by making magic, let alone steel very rare…….Casters are very powerful, but limited in scope and numbers….

I’m staying 3.5e as well. Hate the impending “reverse Forgotten Realms” retcon that will be Dark Sun 4e.

I am definitely staying with Pathfinder. I use that and Monte Cook variants which is close enough to 4th edition for me. I played 4th and am not interested. I love Dark Sun and love a lot of fluff of basic 4th edition but have not even researched Athas in 4th edition. I am loving everything that has come out of athas.org so far still. Don’t need a 4th reset of my world.

i shopped around before settling on dnd 3.x as my game of choice. there are many choices out there, some of them excellent fun to play. but i like dnd for numerous reasons: the sense of history and various in-game and out-of-game backstories, sufficient complexity, familiarity, and the ability to do many different options.

i’ll be staying with 3.x for some time to come.

No 4th edition for me…I’ll just come back to D&D and the 3.5 seem really cool ;-)

3E, 3.5 and Pathfinder for me, no 4th edition here. :/

3.5 is my preferred edition. Too much work (athas.org and my own) has gone into conversions from 2ed.

Not just Dark Sun, but all over, my group of players and my DM are sticking the 3.5

I’ve recently returned to this site after retiring my 3.5 campaign in 07 after my gaming group split after we all spread out for new jobs across the country. We’ll be using 3.5 I enjoyed the conversion. Though I will be doing a time reset back a couple hundred years to surprise them. Great job athas.org!!

Staying.

Ahem, so yeah… staying with 3.5 edition. Pathfinder is alright but the classes changed too much to easily mod things over from DS3 in my opinion.

Starting up a ‘sandbox’ style game in the Brown age on the OotS forums:

Also, for those of you who appreciate web comics, OotS has had a DS similar environment for the last leg of the storyline… pretty interesting.

I just LOVE The Order of the Stick, and I like the desert setting from the current arc, too… And there’s also a draconic Empress (OOTS version of a SK) :P

Totally agree with AthasBard: even for me the one and only successor to D&D 3.5 is Patchfinder.

And thanks to the convertion manual, is easy to covert AD&D NPCs to 3.5 ones.

I truly hope that athas.org will do something for 3.5 e again. The fact that “Dark Sun setting announced for D&D4 = death knell for Dark Sun 3.5 (and let’s face it, death knell for athas.org in general)” is too sad :(

Hey guys… i’m a new face here at Athas and for what i see this place i AWESOME!!

i’m an old 3ed fan how is happely converting to pathfinder(go paizo!). i want to start out by saying thank you for this page, and for all the wounderful stuff you are making. i have not yet startet my Dark sun Campain yet, but i’m sure it will include your stuff one way or another…

so if anyone got some ideer to help me along with making a Pathfinder-ish Dark Sun i would be thankful…

From Denmark – good gaming everybody!

I´m new to Altered Beast as well, although a long time fan of DS.
I´ve never found a reason to switch from AD&D to any other edition.

My group play only DS PF… 4th ed. is not for us.
