When I played it, I found it a nice way to start a campaign indeed, and a great way to introduce the world (sand box is cool but maybe not at the very beginning!).I admit I would be very curious to know whether your PC choose to side against the VA! The Ashes of Athas campaign if very focussed on helping out the VA.However, from a "present the world" standpoint, your protagonists do seem to be missing the Way and the merchants. Arguably though (and oddly!), the Way is almost absent from Tyr.Regarding the PCs, just a thought: Rogue: it won't be easy showcasing his Thievery skill. Indoor adventures and mechanical traps won't abound. Do you have ideas for that? Or is he more of a Streetwise type (huge opportunities for this)?Druid: I found indeed the place of the nature spirit not super obvious. That is a side-effect of D&D4's power sources which were not integral to AD&D2. It's a bit blurry, esp. the distinction with the semi-natural elemental forces.Fighter: the Gladiator build doesn't seem very exciting, because using the various cool weapons isn't. Have you found a way to integrate the weapon powers more readily? In our game, I used a "power swap" rule: once per encounter, you can exchange one power for a Dark Sun power, provided it's either a DS Theme power, a DS build power, or a DS weapon feat power. Also, I found setting up gladiator fights hard, because I wouldn't separate the gladiator-types from the others, and you can only go Gamesters of Triskelion so many times...</blockquote>
