[QUOTE="blargney the second, post: 5823746, member: 14678"] I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier: we have a campaign wiki. The DM has put a fairly astounding amount of work into the campaign guide, in particular. The link is right on the front page: [url]http://e6darksun.wikispaces.com/[/url] One of the things you'll want to sort out before you go too far, is deciding which Dark Sun themes you want to evoke. The three main themes of our game so far have been: 1) [b]Scarcity[/b]. Everything is in short supply - water, weapons, allies, armour, money, magic items, etc. Hell, even spells are scarce! We recently changed 0-level spells to have finite uses per day like 3.5 casters, rather than the infinite cantrips and orisons from PF core. 2) [b]PCs vs environment[/b]. Oh my god, this world is hostile. It's hot, with vicious weather patterns, earthquakes, and even the monster tables are massively higher level than we are. 3) [b]People in Athas suck[/b]. Everybody's out for themselves, and will happily screw you over for the tiniest reasons (gee, thanks scarcity). [/QUOTE]
