Dark Sun Lives!
I'm looking for six players for a regular (weekly or bi-weekly) 4th Edition D&D Dark Sun campaign. Dark Sun is a just-(re)released setting that's quite different from the standard fantasy fare; it's a harsh, gritty world of sand, blood and defiling magic. Newcomers to D&D are welcome. We will play somewhere in the Carbondale region at a time an place convenient for all. The first adventure will be the promo module, Bloodsand Arena, with pre-generated characters; players will have the option of making new characters after the adventure.
Nota Bene: This will be a serious, hardcore-roleplaying campaign in a harsh, unforgiving world. Only serious, dedicated roleplayers need apply, and I will be ruthless in-game and out. In-game: This is Dark Sun. Nothing is fair. Your characters WILL die, or worse, and you have to be able to handle that with aplomb. Out-of-game: I expect dedicated roleplaying and character development. If I don't think you can handle that, you won't be invited to play. If you are in the game and not living up to the standards, you will be kicked out of the campaign, with no apologies in either case. If means I have no players, then I won't play. (I may also run a more traditional D&D game that won't be so hardcore, if there's interest.)
This does not mean that you can never miss a session. We are all adults with busy lives, and I plan on having more players than we need to compensate for the inevitable absences. It does mean that you will need to put a reasonable amount of work into character development both in-game and between sessions.
Serious knowledge of 4th Edition (or any edition) Dungeons and Dragons is helpful but not required; newbies are welcome. Knowledge of the Dark Sun setting is actively discouraged. I will tell you what you need to know, and besides, my setting will be different enough from the published materials that such knowledge will be largely useless anyway (players that have been in my Dark Sun games before will be fine).
So who's ready for the fires of Dark Sun? If you're interested, reply to this post with a paragraph answering two questions: 1) Why do you like roleplaying? 2) Why do you want to join this game?
Athas awaits! Are you ready?
