Good thing I have ranks in Profession (Cobbler) and can provide better pebble-proof shoes

D&D 4e Dark Sun was actually the first thing I DM'd and it was a lot of fun.

I've loved Dark Sun for a while, though, largely due to cutting my RPing teeth on a roleplay MUD based on Dark Sun called Armageddon.

There's quite a lot you can do with it, though I'd caution you against throwing the players into too much "high magic" stuff early on--it kind of takes away some of the setting's flavor if there's magic all over the place. A lot of Wild West story beats work pretty well in Athas, too, the farther away you get from the major cities.

Bumping. Anyone ever play a Dark Sun campaign? How was it?

>>47845140
I have not. The concept was always so exciting and appealing, and my dnd group all felt the same way. I remember when they came out with the 4e books we all bought in and sat down to make characters, but bad luck just kind of kept us from playing it.

Might do alright at the box office, but critically it'd be complete dogshit though. With the source material and Hollywood there's no way this could ever be remotely good.

If it isn't the Brother's War, then no go.

Mtg is a great game, but the storylines are all over the fucking place. You might be able to tell a compelling story with brief moments of the fluff, perhaps tempest block with Gerrard as the protagonist(maybe if you guy the guys that made stardust to do it). I kind of agree the brother's war might be doable.

You would need to omit a lot of the complex shit, you couldn't have planeswalking in the movie. Its been some years since I had some film classes, but it would be near impossible to introduce the starting plane and transitioning to a secondary plane without a metric shitton of exposition.

With our current run of luck, they would make a movie about how Jace's spark ignited and it would be edgy as fuck.

Interesting, but consider this:

The Imperium would rather literally use its battleships as oversized missiles and ram them into the Deathstar then even consider the possibility of risking Terra.

>>47843495
These threads are stupid.
40k was born out of satire, the power level of some entities is just beyond what is seen outside of magical girl anime, there are psychers that could literally blink the death star out of existence. Not to mention pretty much every force sensitive person would be periled of the warped to death by the end of their first day in the 40k universe.

You could take /tg/'s Night Shift setting and stretch it out a little to fit a larger locale like a half-abandoned mall:

Bampu

Group plays a band of urbexers who go plunking around abandoned buildings for [insert reason here] in the modern times. Might go with ghosts/demons/monsters if you're running a horror game, might go with fantasy creature if you're running an urban fantasy setting.

What is the setting like?

>>47842638
Fantasy adventure, standard D&D style.

>>47842704

Elaborate. Personally, if I were trying to plan out something like this I'd start with the route. Where are they going, and where are they coming from? what sort of country are the passing through? What's the terrain like? Do they have enough supplies for a long journey at the start, or do they have enough money that they plan to just buy supplies as needed along the road?

The answers to those questions will inform a lot.

Quality contribution OP.

What is skeletons are actually solidified soulstuff? so if you could swap the skeleton of one person into the flesh of another, you'd effectively be swapping the soul and personality of the people?

And simiarly, if you create a skeleton from a mixture of the bones of multiple people/creatures you'll end up with an undead whose "soul" and "spirit" are all a mixed up and uncohesive mess, one unable to truly be sentient in the common sense of the term.

Obviously consuming the bones of another person or thing would obviously give you some amount of their spiritual power and essence - eating the skull of a great scholar could even give you some grasp of their knowledge or skill.

Though beware of eating too much of another's skeleton, for the human form can only contain so much skeleton, and so your own could be gradually dimished, rendering you unto a bone chomping ghoul or zombie, with no self only hunger for more to crack in your oddly white teeth.

Cows and lactating women would obviously be considered holy for the soul cleansing and strengthening milk.

How would I accomplish this paintjob on the wood and the walls? Working on some balsa buildings.

>>47843645
Greys for the whitewash obviously. Wood's browns desaturated with grey/black.

3 Years have passed since the discovery of the Artifacts of the Elder Wurms, and even though none have a champion, they have kept the peace in the Scaled Jungle, if uneventful. All form of Kolbold have reached a decent population, and the Lizard-Men have spread within the towns, still happy with being vassals. After a long reign(for a Kolbold) of 5 years and 3 mounths, Kr'tok, the leader and last of the original exiles, has died, and it is time to pick a new Leader.

>Decide on a Leader Name, Scale Color, and Focus.

Thread then?

Why would one of the Fae ever stick to a single name for their kind for long? It seems perfectly in character for the fairy folk to me, those elven lords of fey myths and faerie stories.

>>47841078
Elves are not fey. That's another meme trend that needs to die.
