Default Dark Sun Adaptions and Homages

Is there any Adaptions of Dark Sun, other than the videogames and novels? The closest thing to Dark Sun is
- Under the Burning Suns scenario for Wesnoth. (Think Dark Sun with Orcs as dominant super power and necromancy).
- John Carter (It's desert and barbaric)

Dark Sun is actually a John Carter rippoff converted to D&D. They are called green martians there, but they have been thri-kreen 80 years before they were called thri-kreen.

Well, We're left with Wesnoth campaign "Under the Burning Suns".
P.S- I know John Carter (or princess of Mars) is Dark Sun before Dark Sun.
P.P.S- I wonder how "Dark Sun: Equestria" will turn out?

Vaporius in Warhammer 40k is like Dune and Dark Sun smashed together, it has Priest Kings and addictive water that can sometimes also turn you into a zombie.
