5th edition dark sun would be nice.
I would love a 5th addition version of dark sun
Athas, the world so harsh starting at lvl 3 isn't a suggestion it is a rule and character trees aren't just a suggestion but needed. Also the only world where Halflings are the race every sentient race sprung from(At least in the original lore.). Two things about the elves, this is 2nd edition remember, didn't get 3rd/4th rules or lore, but they also had shorter life spans compared to other setting elves and they were considered lazy, yeah they did all that running but they also always looked for the easiest way to do anything. For instance loved raiding caravans to get all the supplies instead of hunting and crafting themselves. Love this setting, so hoping it makes it into 5th and soon!
Dark Sun was a completely unique post-apocalyptic setting. It was amazing, and I still re-read The Prism Pentad book series every couple of years.
All the art by Brom was breathtaking as well.
5th edition dark sun. hell yeah!
(Reposting a previous reply of mine to another comment) The above video gave me inspiration for some extra ideas for a particular desert plateau in a partially randomized home-brew world I'm planning to 'incrementally' build (in a way, to avoid over-planning). I'm thinking about putting evil dwarf barbarians and blue dragonborn sorcerers in said desert.
Dark Sun 5E would be fantastic to see. Perhaps they'll reimagine Anauroch in the manner of Chult. I'd be on board for that.
Dark Sun 5th editino style would be really cool. I was impressed with how different the upcoming Chult adventure booked seemed but a Dark Sun adventure/supplement book would take that even further.
Alter races, new monsters, redone in-depth survival mechanics. Would love a setting that is so different from the general fantasy/swordcoast vibe everything released has so far.
Totally need more Dark Sun! :)
I do enjoy reimagining races. Like for example in my world Elves tend to be more like iron age Celts generally. There personal skills and long life is countered by the decentralised and disorganised nations of many tribes in loose confederations.
We are playing a home brew 5E Dark Sun currently. Its my DM's favorite setting. Although Chult is coming.... :)
Yes, please, 5e Dark Sun. We need that.
Great video. Dark Sun sounds fun but i dunno much about it. This series makes me want to read up on it and try to run some one shots.
nice video guys am looking for more content love it
Pterran, dray, aarakocra, mul, Thri-Keen, half- giant or goliath. These need to get the PHB treatment. With their bonuses, and skills proficiencies. I'm happy providing my own names.
Named an elementalist of air Zephyr. Doesn't really matter what race he's from, it's highly appropriate.
Dark Sun revolutionized D&D. Making a 5th edition version will take time & care. I am happy to wait for a higher- quality product.
It's my favorite setting hands down. Athas is so brutal that it makes for great storytelling. I don't know why they haven't released it.
There are some problematic issues. The slavery, the genocide. Not that I'm bothered by those things in a fictional setting, but not all people are like me.
@@timkramar9729 Very true. some setting are more mature than others. Always talk with players to see if they are cool with things
I am really really really hoping for an official 5E Dark Sun release!
I've never run or even played in a Dark Sun campaign (I started playing during the playtest for 5e when it was still called D&D Next) but from what I've heard about it, it sounds like a setting that I would love to DM.
While im all for giving fantasy races an unique twist, i dont like the dark sun setting at all, except for the nomadic/desert elves, thats a cool concept.
Cannibal halfling?
In a word, yes
I love Dark Sun, as actual published WotC content. The problem is, WotC seems have this fetish for Forgotten Realms. I mean, this is the 3rd edition where the majority of the material is set in Forgotten Realms.
That said, I loved Elves in Athas and Halflings in Athas. This whole idea of a brutal, brutal world is great. Being a spellcaster, even a good spellcaster, is something you are feared for being.
Dark Sun! ☀️
I used to own Darksun as a PC game.
Back when games came on cd's, but my mom stepped on the disc and destroyed the game.
I have a feeling, thinking back on it, that she did it on purpose because I was playing it all the time.
Marek Faithbreaker check Abandonware .com to get the game for dosbox
My next campaign will be "Dark Sun" inspired whether WOTC makes it official or not.

a 5th addition without goliaths would be terrible id make up lore for them immediately before doing a game of darksun
So what's with the arbitrary no metal thing? I see no reason why there should be no metal, it would simply be very difficult to access in a desert.
Logan Hamby it's not arbitrary it's very much a Thematic enhancement to set Athas apart from your regular settings
I suppose I didn't properly illustrate my meaning. What I meant was why is there no metal on the world of dark sun if the sorcerer kings magic feeds on life? That would turn the world into a wasteland but metal should be unaffected. It doesn't make logical sense to me. And I do acknowledge that the setting would lose a lot of its flavor if everyone had metal weapons, I'm just saying that I don't see the lore justification for it.
Logan Hamby while there is no concrete reason in lore
I always imagined that Athas was the birthplace of the Rust Monster which ravaged the Planet before eventually spreading to other planes at which point the Gods unanimously agreed to Quarantine the Plane
Maybe in this world the sorcerer kings discovered that metal weapons make the best enchanted weapons, and would be the best weapon to be used against them. As such, they removed it from existence using a powered up form of the wish spell, or through some ritual or some such.
(here is my own story addition) Some say that the most powerful of magical metal weapons managed to survive the metal removal ritual, and lie deep in the vaults of a ruin so ancient it could have witnessed the gods themselves forming the world before they receded into the realms of the deities. Having lost most of their power, these weapons must be re-empowered so that they might be used to restore the world to its former magnificence.
Considering the fact that whatever gods there might have been obviously abandoned dark sun long ago, considering its state, that's as good as reason as any.
Yes there should be a version of the Dark Sun Campaign Settings. Enough said. But then again I think that there also should be a revised version of Spell Jammer Go figure
I loved 2nd edition dark sun. Where else could a convict slave, serial killer mul succeed
I mean......YES DAMN IT WOTC MAKES IT HAPPEN!!!!! I thought dragonborn where in Dark Sun 4e?
yes but also I would like a tweek of the tech level along the lines of Max max,Badlands, also allow the muls to breed but make it extremely rare like mules and donkeys in our world may be something only .5 percent can have children
Ive never player Dark Sun but Id love to, but I only know how to do 5e, so yes very much need a 5e setting adaption for Dark Sun
I really need to re brush up on my race history cause I just can't see the dragonborns dieing out in a this the end setting
It sounded to me like there never were any dragonborn in the history of the setting.
nickvjohn Dragonborn are a 4th Edition creation, and the only dragons in Athas are powerful sorcerer-Kings (and, far less frequently, random mages who become powerful enough) who transcend their humanoid forms. As such, Dragonborn never existed in Athas officially, though any DM can always include them in their game if they really wanted to.
I wouldn't, personally.
LordSephleon
Sorry when I heard the words 5th edition I thought they were talking about regular d&d thanks for clearing that up.
In 4E Dark Sun, the Dragonborn were used to represent the Dray.
Dragonborn would definitely fit into a 5e version of Dark Sun.
Gregory Floriolli nope sorry. dragons don't exist on Darksun and therefore dragon-kin aswell. it's part of the Thematic of the setting
What about the Dray? In 4E the Dragonborn were used as the game mechanics for Dray and Goliaths were used for Half-Giants.
I thought the dray could be likened to red dragonborn but I'm told they have no breath weapon. So an altered version would work.
Don't listen to those telling you, "no dragons on Athas " because the sorcerer kings are desperately wanting to transform into full dragons.
"You're essentially a second class citizen. They're not gonna respect you" Stop right there. This is a FEUDAL setting, right? As in a setting with legally enforced caste systems, in which priests and emperors are the first class, kings and warlords are the second class, merchants and artisans are the third class, farmers and unskilled laborers are the fourth class, and slaves and prisoners are the fifth class? Stop and think about what "second class citizen" means.
more like the first 3 brackets as 1st class and then the last 2 as 2nd class.
Except that it's how they're literally, legally numbered.
The first estate in medieval France was the priesthood, the second was the politicians and the military.
The first varna in classic hinduism was the priesthood, the second was the politicians and the military.
Edo Japan is a notable exception, with the military at the top, then farmers, then artisans and merchants - who in most caste systems fall between military and farmers, but that reflect the values and economy of Japanese society at the time - or rather the values tokugawa sama *wanted* Japanese society to have.
I meant the way he classified it ;)
Why are you trying to apply literal historical examples to my fantasy world? Gtfo. This is Dark Sun, not "France 1400s".
Sam Brockmann 1. so-called "classless societies" are the exception, not the rule. 2. If Dark Sun differentiates among royalty, skilled labor, and unskilled labor - if it has a concept of "noble", "commoner", and "peasant"? Guess what, that's three classes.
