Would people prefer the Athas.org Dark Sun campaign setting for 3.5 or the Dragon Magazine/Dungeon Magazine version. The Athas.org is more complete but it is user created not "official" like the magazine version would be. Is there a way I could to do both I wonder? Kind of like "Here is the setting choose Athas.org or Dragon Mag version" check boxes.
I have no problem keying in the info for this setting. I made need help with a few things so look for my questions. |

Look at the XXX.1st file located in the D20 data folder it'll give you an idea! I can't recall the actual name ATM but it's the file with the 1st extension!

I would at least advice picking up one that does the coloring of the different element types and stuff. That really helps make it easier to read.

As someone used to coding from vi (unix visual editor) and notepad up to IDE (Integrated Development Environments) such as Eclipse. I find it easy to use TextPad with default settings and not worrying about having pretty colours to determine the tags. It is possible to use a template for colouration if someone was keen. |
