When it's released I will run Dark Sun adventures here. As well as Vampire, of course.

That looks even bleaker than Borderlands was...

Lore, if you do, I will love you forever

I'm doing it. Without a doubt.

Count me in. I loved the Dark Sun world, and never really got to explore it as much as I would have liked.

I'd be glad to have you in, Earthfriend.

By the way, do you live in Australia?

Maybe it's lucky I never ran my intended sequel to Borderlands, in which players run gangs peddling drugs and prostitutes etc in the slums of the world's sole surviving city (a hundred years or more after the first game).

*nodding*

I remember that proposed game.
You think you and Dorian had trouble talking me into playing Borderlands...

I read the Prism Pentad, waaayyyy back when. Didn't interest me very much as a setting then. I'll give it a try on here, though.

Yup! I live in Foster, about 20 kilometers from Wilson's Prom, surrounded by Andelainian-like hills. (But definitely not Andelain. Let's not start that one up again, hmmm Menolly?)

Will the new Dark Sun still have magic users who suck the life from their surroundings to fuel their spells, do you think? I particularly liked that detail...

If StevieG ever switches out avatars for the second one I photoshopped for him...

Although I really like his current one.

I hope that the Defilers are in it. They should be, as it's thematically necessary.

Yeah, but... it's still 4th Edition. I don't think even the Dark Sun setting can overcome the level of crap that is 4th Edition. I gave it a year. I *TRIED* to like 4th Edition. In the end, it was a good thing we'd saved all the 3.5 books, though.

Just found out a friend of mine from college is heavily involved in 4E Dark Sun...Ari Marmell.

I believe that 4e is the best version. It's miles ahead of 2nd edition, and third edition was just too bloated.

Everything gets bloated. oWoD was great..then it blew up..from Werewolf...then the Players Guide..Storytellers guide...Different locales (Rage across *X*)..Book of the Wyrm, Pentex (2 of those)....Tribe Books...Breed books, Spirits, Umbra, Caerns.......

I like 3.5 As long as you don't think you NEED to have and use EVERY rulebook and EVERY rule.

Post by **Loredoctor** » Sat Sep 19, 2009 1:23 pm

oWoD had severe problems, not the least that which you mention.
