I'll be truthful and admit I was sort of saving a spot for James, as it was his idea in the first place to have a Dark Sun PbP. It also makes me happy that two people from the other PbP are on board; I must not be sucking up a total storm!
F$!% it, I'm in.
I'm at work, so I'll look at books tonite or tomorrow maybe; I'm on call tonight...so I'll either be doing a lung scan or searching through Dragon Magazines.
The "no eqpt-you start buck naked" aced it for me.
Thank you!
I actually have a request, I'm a bit brain dead form work at the moment, (That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!)
I'm seeing all of the other characters, and I'm looking for SUGGESTIONS for race/character/Dark Sun combos. As I am not a power-gamer, nor really get to play enough to know what races/classes (for multi class) really click well together.
I'm just looking for some DS flavor options to check out so I can build something out of the 'ordinary' and fun!
(Example- the 'Thri-Kreen Ranger" caught my eye. stuff like that.)
Thanks all!
EDIT- will move this request to the discussion thread! Thanks again!
I was hoping you’d get around to heaving your vacant socket, maggot-riddled shell into this thread afore long, and yet, now I have a quandary.
For reasons I’m not predisposed to disclose, I require an even number of participants.
Seriously though, rock on. Consider yourself a quasi-alternate…because if I can get another person, we’ll just bump the party up to 12 (muahahahaha, I’m already doing the evil bastard hand rub of glee).

I do hope you're not planning on pairing us up and having us fight gladitorial matches... as that would be so cool :D
Do I understand that Valegrim would make it an even 12 and I would be able to play?
Cool. Go Valegrim, go Valegrim! Praise Jesus, feel the healin' child!
ahem...
I'm not up on my psionics, (don't even own the handbook, although I have read the SRD) so IF I can play how does the following character concept sound?
I know halflings are wild in Athas and I've always loved that little kid in The Road Warrior so I'd like to play a Halfling barbarian somewhat modeled on the Road Warrior feral kid. Meaning, that although he can talk, unlike said feral child, he tends to communicate with animal noises, occasionally runs like a chimp, and likes to dig holes like a dog.
If this is okay, I've gotta know, are there boomerangs in Athas?
His background? In brief, he would be an escapee from an Arena sideshow: he was a geek. He fought animals in a pit, chewed their throats out and drank their blood to the cheers and jeers of crowds waiting outside the arenas.
Sure, he's gonna die fast, but life is cheap in Athas, isn't it?
Hey, if there's still room, even as an alternate, I'll bite. Of course, if you prefer to wait for Valegrim, I'm cool with that.
If I get to play, I'd like to play another thri-kreen, if possible. I'd make him a monk, though, or possibly just a straight fighter - a grab-and-eat type of beatdown artist.
Sweet! As a thri-kreen monk, how do we handle unarmed attacks?
Edit: Hmmm... Just realised I don't have that issue of Dragon. I'll look around for something else on stats and abilities.
My character alias has the racial abilities on him. Other things are factored in and can be found under the spoiler.
Spoiler:
+2 Str +4 Dex +2 Wis -2 Int -4 Chr
2 Monstrous Humanoid racial levels/HD- 2d8, max hit die first racial level, not class level. +2 base attack, base saves Fort +0, Ref +3, Will +3. Skill points equal (2 + Int modifier, min 1) x 5. Class skills Balance, Climb, Hide, Jump, Listen, Spot.
Level adjustment +2 plus 2 monstrous HD= 4th level PC without any class levels.
It's going to be very "West Side Story." There'll be singing and dancing, unrequited love, and at least a shiving or two! Ok, I made that up; there won't be any love.
Im interested in playing so add me to the list of alternates please. The only source i dont have is the dragon issue, but i think i can work with out it

Done and done. :)
At the moment we are standing at 12 players with 2 alternates.
