[QUOTE="Panthanas, post: 6634333, member: 10256"] Some background: I ran a Dark Sun game in the 90s, which was a lot of fun, and members of my group still talk about it today. I've always wanted to return to Athas, if you will, but haven't had much opportunity to do so. I thought 5E would be a great fit for Dark Sun, and when I saw Princes of the Apocalypse made mention of Dark Sun, I thought this would be a good time to begin a new DS campaign. Adapting the adventure itself seems pretty straight forward, but the issue of game mechanics reared its head, so I looked around for 5E Dark Sun conversions to allow my group to play on Athas. While there are some very good conversions my group thought it would be a good opportunity to try out converting some material ourselves. We did draw from numerous sources, which I’ve done a best effort to give credit where it is due. This task was made immensely easier because of the previously created work. With that said, I put a good deal of effort into modifying: - a version of the Athasian Bard - a version of a Psion - the Wizard (including reworking defiling rules) - (we put together) a version of a Psychic Warrior to replace the Eldritch Knight - a version of Athasian Clerics - Wild Talents - tweaking the playable races I would be interested in any feedback. Thank you! (Also, parts of this conversion utilize modified aspects and modifications of variant aspects of official rules. If this isn't appropriate, please remove or let me know and I will delete the post.) [/QUOTE]
