  • Dark Sun is an original Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) campaign setting set in the fictional, post-apocalyptic desert world of Athas. Dark Sun featured an innovative metaplot, influential art work, dark themes, and a genre-bending take on traditional fantasy role-playing. The product line began with the original Dark Sun Boxed Set released for D&D's 2nd edition in 1991, originally ran until 1996, and was one of TSR's most successful releases. Dark Sun deviated from the feudalistic backdrops of its Tolkienesque pseudo-medieval contemporaries, such as Greyhawk or Forgotten Realms, in favor of a composite of dark fantasy, planetary romance, and the Dying Earth subgenre. Dark Sun's designers presented a savage, magic-ravaged desert world where resources are scarce and survival is a daily struggle. The traditional fantasy races and character classes were altered or omitted to better suit the setting's darker themes. Dark Sun differs further in that the game has no deities, arcane magic is reviled for causing the planet's current ecological fragility, and psionics are extremely common. The artwork of Brom established a trend of game products produced under the direction of a single artist. The setting was also the first TSR setting to come with an established metaplot out of the box. Dark Sun's popularity endured long after the setting was no longer supported, with a lively online community developing around it. Only third-party material was produced for the third edition D&D rules, but a new official edition of Dark Sun was released in 2010 for the fourth edition. Dark Sun has been mentioned by developers, most notably Mike Mearls, and appeared in psionics playtest materials for Dungeons & Dragons for the fifth edition of the game. (en)

  • Dark Sun è un'ambientazione del gioco di ruolo Dungeons & Dragons, i cui eventi si svolgono su un pianeta immaginario desertico chiamato Athas. I temi di questa ambientazione sono comuni al sottogenere "Terra morente" (Dying Earth) del filone science fantasy e includono la sopravvivenza agli elementi, un disastro ecologico, la scarsità delle risorse naturali, la schiavitù, la povertà e il comune utilizzo delle arti psioniche. La situazione politica è simile a quella del Medio Oriente, del Nord Africa o della Mesopotamia. Acqua e metalli sono estremamente rari. Le forze elementali lo hanno reso un difficile mondo esotico. L'ambientazione venne riproposta nel 2010 per la 4ª edizione di Dungeons & Dragons e tradotta per la prima volta in italiano dalla 25 Edition. (it)
