Dark Sun - Ongoing Campaign

[Protesilaus]

I have an idea for a Dark Sun game that I would like to run for an extended period of time. (Probably would take 5 or 6 levels to complete, but we will see) I am starting everyone off at level 4 for this. Any theme or background is acceptable. This will be a brutal and dangerous game. You can choose 2 magic items, and you have 2,780 gold to spend or save.

Sounds awesome, do we get a wild talent? Is there some sort of backgrounds that would work better (slave vs city vs wasteland)?

I'm interested. Been wanting to play an Ardent for awhile now. This would be Perfect! What is the Max Level for the Items? or do they have to been "Bought" using the GP? Let me know. thanks:)

The magic items are bought with the gold.

It goes faster to ask here: How are the laws on (ex)-slaves who can read and write?

[Protesilaus]

Assuming you switched cities your fine.

General idea right now is a Monk of a yet undefined race. Its psionic abilities and he was trained as a hidden bodyguard in a noble-house. A rather unimposing person who is close-by and would normally be seen carrying scrolls and such for their master and springs to action in a second.
So anyone who comes up with a suiting noble could have my yet to be made person as an ex-slave and servant.

I put together a Shardmind Psion. If the Shardmind is unacceptable, I can find a different race fairly easily :p As a Shardmind, the basic idea is that he is coalesced psionic energy and was deemed an interesting oddity by one of the Sorcerer-Kings.

Yeah, i made a Dwarven Monk who is an ex-slave sworn to serve a noble house as a retainer. Dwarves in dark sun who have break such oaths remain as Ghosts and cant go to the afterlife, if i remember right. So he would be pretty trustworthy.

I remade Bost, the human slayer from the free darksun gameday. He is a desert guide/guard for hire who finds solace in the deep desert.

When are you thinking of starting the game, I have been interested in trying out a seeker.

[Protesilaus]

A couple weeks, depends on when I can get a few weeks to run games.

[Generic Fighter]

Any updates on this?

My sister's wedding is next week, so I likely can't run for another 2 weeks, my september is very busy.

[Argetlahm]

I thought of something to make the idea of the Shardmind a bit more palatable from a Darksun standpoint. Since he's a crystalline creature, maybe he still needs water to prevent overheating, which could damage his silicon-based brain. It makes it so I wouldn't have an unfair advantage over the other meatb- err.... organic entities.

[Protesilaus]

I screwed up, I can run something next Sunday, whatever has the most interest will be run.
