Dark Sun is a violent world, and violence reflects in many facets of life. There is a difference between portraying, lets say, slavery, and trivialize it. There is an ugly side to Dark Sun, one that the characters can fight and heal, if only a little, but I wouldn't be interested in a sanitized version of Dark Sun.Dark sun was the first big "it's D&D, but with a twist!". Like its AD&D version, it should bring new content and re-fluff existing one. My ideal would be on the same scale as Eberron; one new class, a few new character races, lots of new fluff, mechanical adjustments, but without re-inventing D&D or banning half the content we have so far. Especially about character classes; find a place for them, turn their fluff upside down if necessary, but keep it all in.Dark Sun is a world ruled by the strongest. In D&D, this can be anyone. Of any gender. Of any sexual orientation. Of any ethnicity. Of any origin. Similarly, populations can be dominated regardless of their gender, orientation, ethnicity, and origin. I want Dark Sun to represent that.Environment as an enemy should also be stressed. This may mean new rules and/or the removal/modification of background features/class abilities/spells that trivialize environmental hazards and exploration.</blockquote>
