Before reaching their destination, the caravan is destroyed during an attack by the Jura Dai elves, leaving the party stranded in the wastelands with almost no supplies and little hope of survival.
From there, the adventure becomes a desperate struggle against Athas itself.
This is Dark Sun. Water is currency. Steel is rare. Magic scars the world.
Every decision has consequences, and survival is never guaranteed. What Makes This Different:
Dark Sun is not high fantasy, but instead a gritty, apocalyptic fantasy world that is the ultimate test of survival. This world will test your roleplaying skills and give you a fresh prospective on everything you know about D&D.
Athas is a dying world. Magic scars the land. Water is treasure. Steel is rare. Psionics are common. The gods are gone. Hope is dangerous. A not every decision can have a happy ending.
Expect:
• Reworked species and classes to fit Athas
• Defiling and preserving magic with real consequences
• Powerful psionics woven into everyday life
• Every major decision has consequences that change the region, not just your story If you want to explore a brutal world that's in the midst of change, for better or worse, then this is the game for you. This is a campaign of tough decisions and a world that changes constantly. Bring grit. Bring ambition. Bring water. About me: I'm a GM with over 40 years of experience. I've run a lot in person games, but I'm still trying to get traction on Startplaying, but I do believe my reviews speak for themselves. 96% of my players return for future games, so know that once the group forms, it will stay. First rule is to have fun. I believe in an inclusive table where every player gets a moment in the spotlight. My experience has given me a deep knowledge of the Rules as Written, but I also believe in the Rule of Cool when something makes it more cinematic. Additionally, even though I know the rules pretty well, if I don't know something, I usually make a ruling to keep the story going and then look it up later (going back to my first rule: have fun). This game is actively forming. Sessions confirm at 3 players, and most groups fill quickly once the first seats are taken. You can go to the player facing portal to explore species, classes, and backgrounds that are unique to Dark Sun, which we will be using for character creation. Please go to the character creation section of the portal to start getting ideas of what you want to do for your character: <a href="https://app.legendkeeper.com/a/worlds/cmkrmnil08azv0jo1hax26vuq/rxxtpovc/" rel="nofollow">https://app.legendkeeper.com/a/worlds/cmkrmnil08azv0jo1hax26vuq/rxxtpovc/</a> As a group, we will create our characters together during session 0 Safety: This is a friendly and safe space for neuro-divergent and LGBTQ+ Startplaying: <a href="https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmot2ur0m00i3jm04amympxfv" rel="nofollow">https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmot2ur0m00i3jm04amympxfv</a>
