Darksun Sign Up

[megamania]

I will begin the DARKSUN game mid to late January. I am looking for 4 more players. I have Ashrem Bayle and Jeremy thus far.
I am using the official 3e Darksun conversion. For other books I am allowing info from-

Players Guide
DMG
Psionics Handbook
the five Class books by WOTC
If Thoughts Could Kill

If you have other ideas , questions or resources you wish to use please ask me. I tend to be a generous Gm (until the creatures strike!) and will be flexible.
If a background is made for the character I will give bonus XP.

Other notes to keep in mind
Story begins 1800+ years ago (from boxed set) in the city of Kalidnay. 1/2 Giants are extremely rare. If you play one, you may be one of the first dozen to exist. Must roleplay it- you will be a monster to most....especially within the city.
Since it is sooooo far in past, the defiler destruction is not as great. Kalidnay for instance has swamps and scrub plains with outcropping of trees.
I am going to try to keep battle to the minium but as I go that is FAR easier said than done. But I will be rewarding heavier on role playing / problem solving than perhaps normal per the rules.
Much of the story will take place within Kalidnay or it's respective borders.
I am setting this up so as to allow for future storys to be used. If this first arc goes well, I hope to continue onward with a campaign.

Any further questions then just leave here for me.

Description and Background:

Wandering the surroundings of Kalidnay is a lonely creature by the name of Drinchek. In a world almost totally decimated by irresponsible use of magic, he had the poor misfortune of being born to wizards. Like many of the highly adaptable humans of Athas, Drinchek was born with a deformity, though his was due to direct stimuli.

While still in the womb, his mother's defiling magicks stole pieces of Drinchek's life essences leaving him less than he might have been. When he was born amidst the after echoes of the Purges, his frame was hideous to behold. Hairless, colorless, with atrophied muscles, and a piteously weak cry his was a face only a mother could love. But even his mother didn't.

Alessia looked upon her newborn son with something akin to disapointment mixed with contempt. Her new life was one of forced secrecy and of practicality that required her to blend in as much as possible. Her feeble little offspring didn't look like it would last the summer, much less be able to blend in. So amidst at least some regret, she left the babe in its bed and disappeared when next her steps were hounded. He had already drained her of enough resources, the child could not be sustained any longer.

Fortunately, a cadre of Preservers who were pursuing Alessia discovered the abandoned child in her now stripped hovel only a couple days later. Dehydrated and malnourished he was near death and incapable of so much as a whimper when they happened upon him.

It was they who named and raised the child.

Drinchek never really fully recovered. He is still colorless and feeble, his body provides little protection against the harsh elements. But a natural resilience has developed in him that has so far prolonged his life. His whisper-soft voice and ultra shyness results from being constantly wrapped in concealing clothes, protecting his delicate skin.

Nature though, often compensates for lost abilities. Drinchek is possessed of a savant nature that allows him to recall in vivid detail (whether or not he would like to) nearly everything he has ever experienced. As such he is knowledgeable to the extreme in areas he has had the opportunity to learn about and he has developed certain mental powers.

Unlike most lonely teenagers, Drinchek not only imagined having friends but sometimes could actually talk to them or play with them. But in the end, ectoplasmic automatons are not a replacement for people, and Drinchek became even more introverted.

One day, when the Preservers were moving on to another lead, he simply wandered off. Sometimes in the wastes people will tell of seeing a shrouded man surrounded by strange creatures of no pigmentation and all different shapes and forms.

 

[KitanaVorr]

I'm interested in playing an pscion aristocrat

EDIT: Krizzel says he's interested in playing as well. He's thinking about making a bard.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Haven't decided what i want to play, but i definately want in on this. I'd like to hold off and try and gapfill once the others have picked thier class.

 

[Leopold]

thrikeen? What's their favored class??

 

[Timothy]

If ther;s still place, I'm in

 

[megamania]

Thri-kreen favored class is Psy Warrior.

First 6 (total) with complete character skills/abilities etc are in. Once I get going, I may do a third one to get more players active but this remains to be seen.

 

[Timothy]

I'll check the athas games. (from what I've seen now, half-giant brute or gladiator)

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Mind if I reserve a spot for Kalanyr? He doesn't check the boards in this time zone, but he really wants to play in a Dark Sun campaign.
