LOTRS1-3 ECHOES OF THE VANISHED: Playtesting Is About To Begin!

 

LOTRS1-3 ECHOES OF THE VANISHED, the third module of the Lands Of The Ravaged Sun original Dark Sun campaign is very near to playtesting phase! Send me an email to landsoftheravagedsun@yahoo.com if you are interested!

AD&D2e, D&D5e and Pathfinder2e supported, the mystery of the disappearance of an entire halfling tribe from their lands on the southern terminus of the Ringing Mountains / Forest Ridge deepens, and a power vacuum exists.

All content is 100% free, all sketches/tokens/maps for each module are by commissioned artists. This is a labour of love and we are honoured to be contributing to the epic world of Athas.

Our goal is to bring an exciting and fresh new story to the world of Athas which is firmly rooted in
established and loved lore and that maintains the classic Dark Sun vibe. This module is meant to be
the first of many which when combined will bring players and DMs alike along for what we feel will
be a very compelling and worthy journey.
