[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 8313187, member: 7015558"] I'm going to respond just to the narrative stuff, just because I know my mechanical suggestions will probably be worse than the OP's, even if I don't entirely agree with the ideas. More Female Sorcerer Kings: [LIST] [*]My first response to this was "no, this isn't necessary." But hey... the gender of the characters actually matters very little to me as long as the character's themselves remain largely the same (ie many of the gender-swapped Dark Lords in Van Richten's). So sure, let's genders-swap a couple. There are two female kings already, and eight (present) male ones. If you want parity, you need to swap three of them, and I think the most fun would probably be Hamanu, Tectuktitlay... I guess Oronis (maybe change the name to Orona or something though). [*]Definitely do not make Nibenay trans... it's kind of offensive that he would be ashamed of it in this way. [/LIST] LGBTQ+ organizations - I strongly disagree with this. Instead, keep the 5E standard of not having sexuality as a thing people feel prejudiced against. There are plenty of npcs in published 5E material that are LGBTQ, but they are never prejudiced against. Keep that standard; there is no need for such organizations in Dark Sun, because people don't feel any ill-will to LGBTQ people; they're treated like normal people. Slavery - Agree with all of this. Points of Dim Light - Already kind of exists in normal Dark Sun. The sorcerer king Oronis isn't actually so bad, as is Tyr after the revolution. Even Gulg isn't so bad, though it's more mixed. Ethnicity - Are Tectuktitlay and Lalali-Puy even the way you described? These are the art pieces I found of them (Tectuktitlay looks like an indigenous South American, Lalali-Puy a POC). I agree overall, diversity is good, I'm happy with the below depictions becoming canon if they are already not. [ATTACH type="full"]138615[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]138616[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
