I wanted to let everyone know that the Dark Sun organized play campaign has now made Chapter One adventures available for home play. You can find the Campaign Guide here. (We have just finished a new version and will upload it soon). You can request the adventures here. You can find information on additional play here. Thanks!

Will we be able to request an adventure after it is retired from play? I'm guessing it simply means retired from con play but I just want to make sure I'm on the same page.
A friend of mine is trying to organize a local con of our own. The plan is to run various gaming systems through out the day. I volunteered to run Gamma World and or 4e Dark Sun. It would be great to have an Ashes of Athas adventure.

They will actually retire from play in all forms. We realize this is a short window (though feedback is appreciated - especially as we get close to the first retirements). The idea is to encourage everyone to stay with the current storyline so that everyone is focused forward. We hope that the lower number of adventures (9 per year) makes this possible without being a hindrance.

Dave Christ (aka, "the Baldman") is the guy who made it happen, along with Wizards of the Coast.
They both really liked the concept and saw you all being excited and playing a lot of Ashes of Athas, so they went forward with expanding play options.
We will continue to be motivated by the convention play. We will write for that type of event/atmosphere/etc. In our minds, that's the coolest place to play AoA. But, we will try to also address home play within the adventures (for example, instructing DMs that in home play they can explore a scene longer).
Also, a sneak peak for chapter 2. The first two adventures will feature a mix of RP, investigation, and (of course) combat. The third in the series will feel like a battle interactive. Expect a strong challenge with a lot of exciting combat and some new rules never before attempted... At Origins and Gen Con we will stress that feel in ways that home play likely can't easily replicate.

Unfortunately the schedule for my game has gotten screwed thanks to real life. Hopefully I'll get to play through this with my group mid July and I'll get feedback up as soon as I can. So far reading through it I like what you've done.
