About the adventure
It all started as a bit of a joy ride. You took/stole/borrowed (party's choice) a Spell Jamming ship for a quick lap around the Astral Sea, but something went wrong. You found yourself falling through wormholes & crash landing on the blistering hot & unforgiving land of ATHAS. The world of Athas is a brutal place & in desperate need for heroes. Will you be a member of the ship's crew? Or will you be from Athas yourself & have seen the new arrivals as a chance to make a change for yourself or the people of the land? Will you be the change this world needs or will you throw it deeper into chaos? The choice will be yours. In this adventure we'll be going on 5e versions of the classic adventures as well as our own adventures as we dive into the sands of Sorcerer Kings, Magic Defilers, & Psionics. Dark Sun has some notoriously dark themes & all of them will be discussed in depth in our Session 0 to make sure everyone is comfortable & aware of what kind of brutal world we're jumping into. I have a feeling that the world of Athas will never be the same after it's run in with you all... If you're interested, please respond to this post or follow the StartPlaying link & sign up for a game there. We'll be playing on Roll20 & using Discord for audio. Video is not needed, but if the group wishes, I'm down for video sessions. Game Time - Currently we'll be playing Friday nights (US) at 7pm EST. Happy to change slightly pending player availability. Price - Games will be $20 per player per session(along with StatPlaying's 10%fee). This is to help me pay for subscriptions for maps, music, art & 3rd party creators' content for our games. As well as put a little bread in my pocket. Campaign Length - This will depend on the players & the story we want to tell. Our first adventure will be 10 sessions & if we wish to continue we'll grow from there.

Additional Details
How to prepare
A webcam is optional, but a mic, & a free Roll20 account & Discord will be needed. Your imagination will be the biggest asset you can have in this game.
What I provide
I'll bring the music, the maps, custom art, custom player art if needed, an integrated story with your backstories, and the setting adapted to 5e.
Gameplay details
This will be a hard hitting game where your choices will effect your surroundings. This is a game where we will 100% have a deep dive for our Session 0. Dark Sun has some horrible themes in it's world, but we'll discuss what we're all comfortable with & move forward. My ears are always here for you to discuss things even after the Session 0. Just because you think you might be ok with something, that doesn't mean you have to stick with that decision throughout the campaign.

Stats will be rolled, 4d6 drop the lowest. In Session 0 we'll partially create your characters together, but then we'll have one of ones for any character specifics or secrets your character would have. Characters will begin at Level 3. This setting has some specific things involving magic & we'll go over all of that in our Session 0.
