The Cheating Bastard's Dark Sun Shortcuts For Lindwyrm And Similar

[taichara]

So you want a Dark Sun-esque setting of your own, eh?

At the minimum concept, for an Athas-like sword-and-sorcery post-apocalyptic (how many hyphens are we gonna use here) world, you need:

- a hellblasted desert, courtesy of the apocalypse

-> with a scattering of Weird or Extra Hazardous (or Both) Geographies

- water rules

- psionics
- using magic is more difficult, destructive, kind of sucks, and gets you In Deep Trouble like as not
- despotic city-states with themes to fight and free the people of
- one Walking Apocalypse kaiju-type monster or entity
- non-metal weapon rules if you insist and you hate yourself


( let's throw some inspirational stuff around to get things started! )
