The world withers under the hellish gaze of a blood red sky. Tyrants rule and each day the wasteland grows as bastions of civilizations blink out. What kind of hero or villain will you be in this desolate place? Welcome to the Athas. Welcome to the World of Dark Sun.
Hello! I'm Lynn and this is my Dark Sun campaign. I've been DMing for a few years now and am very excited to bring this post-apocalyptic hellscape to life. I'm 18 and live in Seattle. I'm an avid storyteller and the pseudo-improvisational, player-impacted format of DnD is one of my favorite things ever. My DMing style is about 60% Roleplay and 40% combat with a lot of voice acting. We will be using roll20 and discord.
The Campaign
This will be a sandbox style campaign with a focus on exploration and player action and choice. I will drop you off somewhere in Athas and let you go wild. While I may write plots and backstory tie-ins, the driving force will always be the players, going where they choose in this desolate world.
Now to talk brass tacks, some grounds rules.
-No discrimination, bigotry, that stuff.
-Respect your fellow players and me as the DM
-LGBTQ+ friendly
-If you are uncomfortable with stuff that happens, please let me know and we can work it out!
Gameplay Stuff
There is currently no official 5e supplement for Dark Sun so we will be using a LOT of homebrew. The main document will be Dark Sun conversion by MCP, along with a ton of other stuff. All of it (so far) will be linked below. If you want to implement other homebrew, don't be afraid to ask.
We will be starting at level 1 and rolling for stats.
The Setting
Dark Sun is a cruel and unforgiving world with many changes to other DnD settings.
-An emphasis on survival and resource management while traveling.
-A harsh and unforgiving world that is out to kill you at every turn.
-Many fantasy archetypes are changed. Magic kills the world, the God's are missing, halflings are forest dwelling cannibals, elves run across the desert and defile nature, the rulers are cruel tyrants, and many races have been wiped out completely in the Cleansing Wars. This is reflected in gameplay, where some player options have been removed entirely.
-The world is dangerous. Heat and lack of water are just as dangerous as wild creatures or raiders. As such, while the campaign IS new player friendly, I would like people to know that it will be scarier and potentially more lethal than the average romp through faerun.
-This is a dark setting that may contain darker content, such as slavery, violence, state oppression, and other stuff.
Payment Details
-Paying to play both helps me eat and helps with the issue of flaky DM's and players.
-Money transferred via paypal
-Session zero AND session 1 will both be free. Yay!
