Dark Sun 3.5 Gestalt Campaign "Dregoth Rising" *PREMIUM ADVENTUREMODE ROLL20 EXPERIENCE* (Free session Zero)

Dungeons & Dragons 3/3.5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Welcome back... to the DARK SUN WORLD! Dark Sun is BACK! in an no holds barred brand new campaign that will see you band together with a group of fellow slaves to throw off your oppressors; escaping slavery and being set against all odds to save the very face of the Tablelands or die trying! Dark Sun is Dungeons & Dragons' MOST DIFFICULT and all time best selling campaign setting. Faithfully and painstakingly converted from AD&D 2nd edition to the 3.5 rules set so that you too can experience the harsh reality of Athas- a world devastated by despotic sorcerer kings with godlike powers fueled by the very life force and vegetation of the planet itself. Athas was once a lush and thriving fantasy world not unlike Faerûn or Greyhawk before The Cleansing Wars, a mad crusade of magical genocide perpetrated by the same mad sorcerer kings who now rule the remnants of a traumatized shattered continent void of kindness, water and metal. Athas is a post-apocalyptic psionic'y evolved nightmare where the environment is just as likely to kill you as the bewildering deadly beasts of the endless deserts that dominate the landscape. Explore the planet of Athas in an open-world survival campaign with an over arcing epic world changing story campaign that the players themselves get to determine their place in as they strive to change the very face of Athas through their adventures! Take the reigns of a powerful Gestalt character whose circumstance and backstory sets them above the vast majority of Athasians whom struggle just to find shelter, food, and out of the slave pits from day to day. Whether you were born of a priveleged noble upbringing, prosperous hidden slave tribe or remote temple to some lost order or knowledge, your 3rd level (1st level in DarkSun) starting character will enjoy the benefit of twice the class abilities and statistics of a normal D&D class as well as the advanced racial bonuses and wild psionic talents available to all DarkSun characters. Before you get too excited, just know that you will need it! Athas is a horrible alien harsh planet twisted by dark magics and genocidal arcane psionc wars that have left the entirety of the world unrecognizable from a traditional D&D fantasy world. People ride giant lizards and insects being as horses are memory of an ancient past few have heard even rumor of, a familiar theme you'll quick come to understand as you walk the sands of Athas. Nothing is as it seems, and all you know of fantasy has been flipped on it's head. Whether you've never heard of DarkSun before and are excited to plunge feet first into this insane grim-dark challenge or are an old fan ready to experience it like the first time all over again, grab and early booking today! Even if you die, believe me, you'll have so much fun you'll regret nothing. EARLY BOOK NOW FOR THE %50 DISCOUNT!!!

Gameplay details

PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR A UNIQUE ROLL20 EXPERIENCE! This game is run in "Adventuremode" format. Adventuremode does away almost entirely with any top down overhead grid based presentation in favor of a more cinematic scene based perspective with layered terrain, animated Gifs, full-body avatars and a clickable, drag-able Diablo-style inventory system. Adventuremode blurs the lines between a video game in the style of King's Quest or Quest for Glory/Sierra Adventure games and a more traditional tabletop experience. Pre-made characters available, custom characters welcome and encouraged. I offer a free session zero with the booking of your first regular play campaign session. All games are professionally voice acted.
