About the adventure
8 years have passed since the Age of Heroes began. The city of Tyr has broken free of tyranny, though turmoil still holds the world in its merciless grip. Revolution begins to spread like wildfire across the Tyr Region. Welcome to a world where metal is scarce, gods don't exist, and psionic powers abide in all living creatures! Athas is a land of deadly magic and powerful psionics that offers no promise of power or even of survival. In this land, you must seize your own glory and fight for survival. Those who do not have the cunning to face life on Athas will surely perish - leaving nothing but bones bleached white under the blistering rays of the DARK SUN. Do you want to play a game of Sword and Sorcery, full of dark magic and ancient secrets? Do you want to explore a harsh and savage land, bringing the light of heroes to the darkness of the wasteland? Are you a fan of Conan and Valeria? Or a fan of a classic Dungeons and Dragons setting remastered for 5e? If so, this is the game for you! This will be a sandbox campaign. No previous knowledge of any kind is necessary and all levels of experience with D&D and Darksun are welcome!
Dark Sun is a harsh world, savage and unforgiving. It is a place where life is cheap and everywhere has it's own dangers. A land ravaged by magic used carelessly, where everyone has some level of psychic awakening. A land where many of the common tropes of D&D fantasy are either changed or even non-existent. If you enjoy Sword and Sorcery, tales similar to Conan the Barbarian, this is the game for you.

Additional details
How to prepare
All you need is a decent microphone and a desire for an amazing story! Video is available, but is not required. Session 0 will be free
What I provide
I will have Roll20 ready with maps, artwork, handouts, and full ambient music as well as all necessary compendiums. I will also have legal use PDFs available for any players who need them.
Gameplay details
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.

How will character creation work
We will discuss characters at session 0. There is no charge for this introductory session. Please note there are many changes to standard 5e in the Dark Sun campaign settings. Changes to species, classes, subclasses, and backgrounds, along with custom choices. Characters will start at level 3 and a full conversion of Dark Sun to 5e will be provided. No experience in Dark Sun or Dungeons and Dragons is necessary to play.
