    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    One of the quarrys they used is quite near where I live.

    Wizards Goes Big with Vecna: Eve of Ruin

    V:EoR is certainly a deeply flawed product. I’m currently running chapter 4 (the Eberron one). Whilst it has interesting ideas and themes, it required a heck of a lot of fixing. The organisation is terrible, with things that belong together split across different places, no wilderness encounter...

    Pretty sure they didn’t film in real mines - too dangerous.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    The Welsh coal mine has closed down, leaving the miners unemployed. A corporation has opened up near by offering abundant cheep clean energy. Turns out the evil corporation are pumping toxic waste down the mine, creating the deadly mutant maggots. The day is saved by the nearby hippie commune...

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    So, it's obvious the authorities have something terrible to hide. Pretty sure it was in the original boxed set. But "dragon" has a metaphorical significance which makes it obvious. It's the same reason Shadowrun's megacorps are run by dragons. Maybe my players are a little more genre-savvy?

    Three gave plenty of lectures on environmental themes. Not to mention snarky anti-authoritarian comments.

    You suggesting “half-white” isn’t lecturing?

    And it’s obvious they are genocidal.

    The irony is, Dark Sun was always “woke” (like Star Trek and Doctor Who).

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    If players have heard anything at all about Dark Sun it will be “evil sorcerer kings”. And even if they haven’t heard anything at all, it’s blindingly obvious from a meta perspective. Same with Strahd, you don’t need to have heard of him to know what a guy with a widows peak and black cape in a...

    D&D General D&D is now Steampunk (poll)

    Now if we can get past the shock-horror that fantasy art styles have changed over the last 40 years, maybe we can look at where steampunk has actually intersected with D&D. The first callout is Ravenloft. Not so much the original module, which owes more to the Universal and Hammer movie...

    In my case, it’s just that I don’t know where this particular “Victoria” is, there being a lot of places with that name, and I don’t know what BA stands for either.
