Dark Sun...
 

Are their any planes to encorporate any Dark sun material into the 4th ed system?

I would think that once it hits the DDI then it will be in HL.

That's not a safe assumption since HL doesn't have support for skill powers which have been out for a bit. I imagine if it's content that fits into the normal frame work, then yeah, but if it's new stuff, like themes, probably not.

Skill Powers actually weren't in the Compendium for a long time, although they've since been added in a way that I wasn't expecting, so I didn't notice them. The new classes and races from Dark Sun should show up as soon as they're added to the Compendium (which I don't think has happened yet).

The only exceptions might be things like the secondary classes they added; sometimes they don't add a section for new mechanics like that (for example, there's still no Background section on the D&D compendium).

Colen is correct in the fact that the compendium does not have the Darksun material added. August added the following
Data from the following published materials are new this month:

Books
Demonomicon
Tomb of Horrors
HS2 Orcs of Stonefang Pass
Vor Rukoth
Online Magazines
Dragon Issues 388
Dungeon Issues 179
Maybe Sept for the info. I cant wait to get my thri keen or mul working :) but I may jump the gun and see if I can add the some of the races once I pick up my book.

As far as I can see, Dark Sun material still isn't included in the Compendium (I was expecting it to be added today, since they usually do it on the first Tuesday of the month). Is anyone else seeing any new data in there?

I just checked and it does not seem like they have an update yet.

Just and FYI,
It seems as though the DDI will do an update on the 21st of Sept and it will include a lot of stuff; Dark Sun, all of the Essentials info that is coming out (and it looks as though this may have some major changes to D&D). People are giving it a wide spread of reviews as to its content and how it affects the game (just to let all the Wolves know... and for Colen to have time to go out and buy the giant bottle of extra strength aspirin)
Okay this is me logging off.

Thanks for the tip! Sounds like they'll be changing a lot of stuff - I guess I'll have my work cut out for me next week to get everything incorporated. :)

Well, today is the 24th and still no Dark Sun update from Wizards. WTF?
