[QUOTE="Haldrik, post: 8043832, member: 6694221"] Dark Sun has features that I like. Psionics. No deities. I hope the Dark Sun setting has zero connection to the Forgotten Realms setting. Please allow Dark Sun breathing room to be its own thing. Prevent Forgotten Realms from assimilating and suffocating everything. Among genres, I like a post-apocalyptic setting less. I find it intellectually lazy, and luddite, in the face of reallife acceleration of technology and societal change. So, Dark Sun is challenging for me to get into because of its post-apocalyptic tropes. I personally would be able to enjoy Dark Sun more, if. There are technological utopias, here and there around the planet. It is ok if these technotopias are oases within a wasteland. At least some cities have gotten their societies into a functional cooperation, even if the rest of the societies are still a mess. I myself would focus on one of these technotopias as a regional urban setting. A magical - especially psionic - technological society, of course. The technotopias that dot the planet, are essentially a points-of-light design. These technotopian regional settings would help me enjoy Dark Sun enthusiastically. I just finished bingwatcing the Brave New World setting. I absolutely love this scifi. The New London technotopia can easily be done in Dark Sun. Citizens would go online psionically, telepathically. And the genetic engineering would be done magically, psychometabolically. Awesome! Heh, New London is supposed to be a dystopia. And, yeah yeah, oppressing the epsilons is wrong. But a more just version can easily be accomplished by robots, magical constructs. Add in some freedom to choose to reengineer ones own DNA, by choosing to undergo a transmutation ritual, and there is even freedom and meritocracy. The overall society of Brave New World is AWESOME. I would love Dark Sun with a handful of cities like New London. [/QUOTE]
