About the adventure
The sun beats down mercilessly, baking the Athasian sands into a shimmering expanse of heat and death. In this unforgiving world, survival is a daily struggle, and the weak are quickly consumed by the relentless desert. But for those who dare to face the challenges, there is also the promise of glory and adventure. Join us as we continue our perilous journey through the Athasian wastes, where the only law is survival and the only hope lies in courage and cunning. We will face deadly creatures, navigate treacherous landscapes, and uncover the secrets of lost civilizations. Along the way, we will encounter powerful magic and psionic abilities, and confront the undead sorcerer-king who seeks to dominate the world.

About me
Hold on, let me roll Persuasion first... now that that's done, hello! I am a former IT professional who now channels energy into sharing stories and fostering creativity and inclusivity in gaming. Over the years, I have guided hundreds of players through a variety of games, whether at my personal tables, as a Twitch streamer, or collaborating with TTRPG publishers like Onyx Path Publishing, Free League, Chaosium, Helmgast, and more. I've had the pleasure of introducing new players to exciting games at conventions and have both GM’d and participated in streams and podcasts in both North and South America. As a published writer of TTRPG content, I have also contributed to the development of mechanics for my own RPGs and various indie projects as well as writing professionally. I invite you to explore my reviews to see what others think, and I encourage you to try one of my games to experience the magic firsthand. I am committed to ensuring you have a fantastic experience!

Creating your character
Once you join the game I will work with you to create your character, a perfect one to join the party on their adventures, using the custom character creation rules for Dark Sun.
The party has explored deep under the ruins of a forgotten sorcerer king's city and uncovered a dark truth. The sorcerer king has attained undeath, and after magically creating his own species of warrior, works to invade the lands above and bring war to all the tablelands. Having made allies, the party now turns their attention to infiltrating the city beneath the earth and learn what they can before bringing war to Dregoth.

How Tyler creates a safe table
I have a Google form I will send you once you sign up that will very thoroughly go through lines and veils. I also use digital and/or messaged and/or held up on video X, N, & 0 cards. I am also available after each session for aftercare, as needed. At session 0 we will go over lines and veils that were filled out ahead of time (anonymously) so player expectations can be set.
