[QUOTE="Wik, post: 5495500, member: 40177"] I see Dark Sun as more like the Conan stories, or the old Zothique short stories. Dark, gritty, but tales of heroes. Savage Worlds could work for that, but I see SW as a game with a lot of chase scenes, crazy stunts, and the like. When I think of Dark Sun, I think of the scene in Conan The Barbarian where he sets up a bunch of traps and fights off wave after wave of attackers. Or earlier in the movie, when he's wounded and running from wolves and hides in a dungeon. Really, any scene from that movie is pretty much how I've always seen Dark Sun. I like the 4e Shadowrun Rules, myself. But it'd be something written along those lines, not a direct clone. Well, it'll have multiple PCs. It'll be sandboxy. It will have an equal mix of City and Wilderness exploration. I expect a decent amount of PC death. PCs will have the initiative in the story - they do what they're interested in. There will be few magic items, and a lot of scavenging for gear and worrying about little things (the old 2e bit about trying to put together a full suit of armour). [/QUOTE]
