I did say ‘a bit’ redundant. By which I mean completely redundant until level 5 and then it’s only doing 1d6 extra damage with all the penalties using a spell comes with. Bladesingers get Int bonus uses per day not proficiency now. So they are likely to be using 3-4 times a day. If you’re not...

I mean the biggest change is the new blade singer gets Int to attack and damage straight away. So true strike is actually a bit redundant for the most part.

I mean how long is a session? 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours? Big difference there.

So interestingly I broached the subject with my group face to face after our game this weekend. At least one player bounced pretty heavily off the idea of having an ithilid tadpole in their head. Even just the potential threat of it taking over his character was enough to feel coercive and...

Yeah, but there is a crown in the picture. Darksun doesn’t have kings or queens does it? 😉

So just out of interest, I found the answer with this video on Reddit. Very quick and easy.

I checked it out. They have added quite a bit and updated it to 2024 rules. If I was going to run this campaign again I would buy the upgrade.

Yeah our party loved it to. But it unfortunately gets a lot of grief here with posters poking holes.

Our group of jaded grognards played it level 1-15 to the very end. We had a lot of fun with it. We certainly didn’t feel like it wasn’t Greek enough. However it is very combat heavy but like any pre-printed campaign it is pitched at middle balance. If the PCs have system mastery then you will...

Worth also remembering that the elves were in open conflict with Netherill. What elves know about Netherill could be extremely prejudiced.

Any examples of recent adventures that are easy to read but hard to run? I see people talking about the opposite but can you share some examples of modules that don’t fulfill that for you?

Who is Sliminster?

I imagine it to be a bit like the Time Lords of Gallifrey - hyper advanced society, caste based, with strange customs. Or like the Aes Sedai flashbacks from the time of legends. Or the Romulans I think you have to bring Netheril through cultural and behaviors oddities that develop from a...

PP gets a bad rap with some folks but for me it was pretty formative - not just for my love of Dark Sun but as D&D as a whole. It was one of the first D&D novels I read which really focused on a small group of adventurers and told from all their viewpoints. Ordinary folks rather than the great...

The feats are good, full of flavor and tactically relevant. There are a few changes to Dhamphir too necrotic resistance for instance.

Do they? Which lost civilizations are they?

Well Hlondath and Anauria 750+ years. It’s not so different to Byzantium.

There were Netherese successor states too as the ground holdings consolidated. It’s pretty much equivalent.

Yes. This makes it roughly equivalent to Ancient Rome. If it’s too far back, like 7,000 years then there wouldn’t be remnants left. It works fine.

I know these are first impressions but it feels like a lot of conclusions and not a lot of description of the product itself. What kind of items, what kind of magical hazards, what makes it interesting. My preference would be to focus on the product contents rather than make value judgements...
