I'm not familiar with 30K But 40K is openly satircal by GamesWorkshop's own admission! Heck, just look at how Orks work in that setting and tell me I'm meant to see this as serious.

Name one non-parodic grimdark that doesn't suck.

The problem is that Dark Sun was never really a humor setting, so a grimdark Dark Sun doesn't work. Grimdark only works as a parody.

It doesn't have to be a moral choice. The economics of slavery aren't what they're cracked up to be, especially in an ecosystem like Athas. It might just be more efficient to make them serfs. Fewer rebellions, they feel like they have something of their own, and you don't have to constantly...

I kind of have to imagine that Brennan might have had a say in the choice of system. Like does he even like running Daggerheart? I certainly wouldn't want to launch a major worldbuilding/actual play project with 13 players in a brand new system.

...They do?

So? Every new edition presents settings in their own way. Dark Sun in 2E isn't quite the same as Dark Sun in 4E. Dark Sun in 5E is clearly still focused on the environmental devastation and tyranny themes. That's the core of the setting.

I do not understand what the problem is. The UA looks fine. You have two evil subclasses even.

Uh... this is not the forum for 4th Edition homebrew.

Not listening to some AI bot drone on about Eberron. I wish D&D Youtubers were held to the same standard as WOTC when it comes to AI slop.

If there's a technology I would replace, it's the computers that rendered this abomination of a movie.

The Mystara book about the Gnomish biplanes. On a side note: Mystara flippin rules and WOTC are cowards for not bringing it back.

True, but that's a bit different than what we would call a 'security camera'. For one thing it's probably harder to spot.

Not unless they're part of the adventure. I'm just saying "this is a medieval world" isn't a good reason. Even in the early modern world CCTV systems didn't exist, not until World War 2.

I mean to be fair that sounds less like the problem is that the adventure is trash and more that the DM's off the cuff answer makes little sense.

Well that's nonsense. We all like what we like, but you're taking art from an adventure that takes place in a particular time, setting, and even at a particular event and acting like that's just... what D&D is these days? Can you not see now disingenuous that comes across? Edit: It's like...

But who considers it unusual? Presumably... high heels(?) or whichever other modern anachronism that supposed D&D purists want to make their hill to die on this time... aren't out of the ordinary for the world this adventure takes place in. A Lightning Rail would be remarkable on Greyhawk but...

You know, going back to the original post, you could probably find a random illustration from an adventure from any era of the game and just as easily have people saying "What does this have to do with D&D?" Heck, Barrier Peaks had robots. D&D has always contained multitudes.

...But not 4E? :(

Honestly I'd prefer to keep it in D&D or at least a 5E derivative like Tales of the Valiant, if only because I don't have much interest in Daggerheart. That said I'm sure I'll watch it regardless.
