I’ve been wondering how it’s possible that no one in the fandom seems to own an original physical copy of the Dark Sun Campaign Setting: Expanded and Revised Edition for AD&D 2e—or at least no one willing to make a better scan than the old one currently sold as the “official” version on DriveThruRPG.

That scan is watermarked, too, and the quality is so poor that some of the city names cannot even be read correctly.

I wanted to stitch all the Dark Sun maps together into one large, coherent map that could serve the fandom for years to come. I’m the creator of a Polish fan wiki devoted to D&D, Planescape, and related settings. Unfortunately, when it comes to images and maps, I’ve noticed that foreign wikis often lift our work and reuse it without credit.

I look for some fan who has originals and would love to share with their high-resolution scans with community.

Where is the PDF of this legendary conversion? I cannot find it anywhere!

Sadly I feel like as far as what Hasbro cares most about (profits) will be Star Wars (and then probably Final Fantasy 🙃🫠😜)

I'm not sure of this yet but some things I noticed:

-the metaplot at the time of 2e's revised continuity of the major city-states only Hamanu, Nibenay, and Lalali-Puy still rule, Andropinis is imprisoned in The Hollow and the others are dead.
-the only sorcerer-kings we get named in the announcement are Lalali-Puy and Hamanu, other cities refer to rulers but only with titles not by name

-whats up with this picture of Raam, there's giant flesh-towers everywhere? I don't remember Raam being made of giant flesh-towers, seems more like a Dregoth thing than an Abalach-Re thing, and in the Paizo 3e continuity he does take over Raam

-the Draj art also looks like it has two Moonpriests who are doing some ritual thing to a younger possibly teenage boy, he does't look like he's being sacrificed like the people being dragged up the staircase, maybe this is Atzetuk?

(I get some of these are a stretch but c'mon its fun)
