    D&D General WotC’s Official Announcement About Diversity, Races, and D&D

    If you can't form an opinion based on decades of personal experience, interactions and knowledge, then the point of this life, or discussion at all, is moot. I've never really had life served on a platter. I remember during the time I started playing RPGs I went through a really tough time of my...

    D&D General WotC’s Official Announcement About Diversity, Races, and D&D

    Big meh from me to be honest. That diversity was already present in 5e, in the character art etc. I don't think it needs it any more, and its certainly not going to have an impact on my game. D&D will to me always be about cameraderie and friendship, and cooperation between unique characters...

    D&D 5E Here's why we want a Psion class

    So one guy gets away with calling me sexist/misogynist while I am warned for merely defending myself. Ok. You know what? Ill show myself the door.

    D&D 5E Here's why we want a Psion class

    Oh looky triggered snowflake. There is nothing sexist or misogynistic about an adolescent power trip (i.e. high level, powerful characters played by adults) in a game. Grow up.

    D&D 5E Here's why we want a Psion class

    Nothing wrong about adolescent power trips. It's part of the game after all. Psionicists were integral to Dark Sun 2e. Psionics was everywhere, everyone had a wild talent. It is obvious that the setting brought psionics to the front, and in a future version, people will feel robbed if psionics...

    D&D 5E Here's why we want a Psion class

    Wanting back the psionicist is really just wanting back Dark Sun. And yes, there's a fanbase group of players who want DS back. Either they played it originally or like myself, discovered it and loved it. You can talk about classes but you've really got talk about the setting that brought...

    D&D General Greatest one-shot adventure for a solo character?

    Not even one suggestion? All right; I suppose its too much to ask. Headed off elsewhere.

    D&D 5E An Alternative Dark Sun Conversion

    Hi unnatural, thanks for your interest. Yeah, I did start working on another manual last year and it looks like, due to crisis, some more work will be possible to be put in. There's a number of things, like monsters and psionics that needs fleshing out (and playtesting really!). Of course, you...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana Revisits Psionics

    Not happy really, unless psionics comes out as its own unique system, and a unique psionicist class. But I am of the old school in that magic and psionics are different things entirely. The 'psionic' stuff put out these days are to be honest, lazy, ad-hoc drivel. They are so afraid of breaking...

    D&D General Greatest one-shot adventure for a solo character?

    Hi guys, Bit of an unusual request here; as I don't really turn up here to post much else apart from Dark Sun content, but a bit of background. I am the best man for my buddy who's getting married in two weeks, and it's been a crazy time for him trying to get something organized due to the...

    D&D 5E An Alternative Dark Sun Conversion

    Yes; I will put one in eventually. (Note this is not a professional product. It is a playtest material that I put out for the heck of it, other's enjoyment or inspiration. I have no plans to make money of a homebrew Dark Sun campaign (IP of wotc)).

    D&D 5E An Alternative Dark Sun Conversion

    Hi guys. Due to the coronabreak, I have had some time to clean up the PDF. A few minor alterations have been made. It is now available on my Google Drive.

    Why are we okay with violence in RPGs?

    Violence is a fundamental aspect of the human experience whom we have spent centuries to figure out how to get rid of. First, delegated away to government and professional troops to avoid it in our daily lives, whoin turn fought god-awful wars and found it better to be at peace. We are all...

    D&D 5E An Alternative Dark Sun Conversion

    I used 5e as a base. But the classes all have been tinkered with, to get rid of what i felt wasnt really a very good fit from the very high-fantasy flavor of 5e, into a more gitty DS campaign. I did read a lot from the 4e version and used the surivial system heavily.

    D&D 5E An Alternative Dark Sun Conversion

    I have updated the manual since its release.

Thank you for the kind feedback and comments, I look forward to playtesting this with...

    Why are we okay with violence in RPGs?

    The lowest common denominator. Violence is the basest, crudest capital of our society. A massive oversimplification, I know, but I am one of those who think ordered society is based on the control (or monopoly) of violence. We humans are social animals who have found coded language, laws and...

    D&D 5E Dark Sun 5E conversion - draft

    Its interesting seeing all these 5e conversions of DS coming up. I did mine about a year ago, and everyone has different ideas. It is refreshing to read. You are going to have to have a long, hard think about the classes (as did I). Once I started going down that road I realized the core 5e...

    D&D 5E Dark Sun 5E conversion - draft

    In my campaign, preservers shift alignement one step as a result of 'defiling taint' every time they defile. Once they reach an evil alignement, they can choose to switch to to defiler (having no more moral qualms about taking life). Once they actually reach Chaotic Evil that change is made...
