Megan sorry to hear about your health problems, hope evrything heals up without too much pain.

Leader, Leader, Defender, Controller, Striker (Murr), +1
hopefully the next one will be a striker too
Jerry Cantrell I believe is a singer/songwriter
He is the guitarist for the band 'Alice in Chains". It was a small joke that wasn't very good to begin with. :) No offence meant if any was perceived
bump for group 1, follow the link.

For better or worst we now have the "new CB" from WotC so we can now proceed to getting this much delayed game started.
I still need 1 person for group 1, the rest get lumped into group 2.
Still on board for group 2.
On board for group 2 but haven't done a character yet.
next 2 players with ready characters get into the game.
Gerad scowls slightly. "I know my way around the tablelands. This area I don't know so well, but I'm a quick study. If you want someone to shoot a bow or stab a blade, I can do both as well as most soft city dwellers."
Gerad is my character submission. I'm happy to wait and see who else puts one in, since he's a bit rough at the moment.
Gerad head over to the dicussion thread and read up the story background and we can get you into the the intro combat that's going on right now.
Okay. I'm up.
All right my RL has settled down enough to start up group 2 of my 4e Dark Sun game.
Scranford as promised you have a spot if you want.
Radavel and Rev Rosey (or Rev Rosey jr.) also have spots. I have spots for 3 or 4 more players.

Thanks Xabulba :-)
Another concept

I'm out. My RL is still a raging maelstrom.
Cool. I'll tell him when he gets back from school.
I'll build a tentative warlock for myself, but as I've said, I'm quite happy to stand aside if you have plentiful takers.

thanks for remembering me...but I let my subscriptions to Character Builder etc lapse due to lack of use...and wouldn't attempt this without that. Guess I'm just going to skip 4th edition. Especially since it seems Wizards is not supporting it real well anymore either. Good luck with the game though...and I'll see you in the funny papers :).
Rev Rosey jr. here, I'm up for it. Haven't built anyone yet, but I have an idea for a rogue, prepared to play any class if it suits the party better though
Hiya Mordencranst (yay for my son the devourer :D).
Looks like the following lineup at the moment:
Celestial - psion
Rad - fighty type
Mordencranst - rogue (probably)
Me - warlock of some yet to be determined kind. Vestige or Sorcerer King probably.
Leader lite, but otherwise feasible.

I actually squeezed into group 1.
Make that very likely a rogue tbh, got a really good build I want to try.
I'll switch to a tempest fighter if we need a defender.
Dont want to play a leader if I can avoid it, I have to say.
By the way, seeing as dark sun has no gods, what is the ruling on devine classes? (avengers, sepcifically)
Oops. OK. No Psion and three players.
I haven't played a PbP in years, but if you still have room. I am dying to play Dark Sun. I run a DS game, only because if I don't I won't get to play in the sands of Athas. Our group's other GM ONLY runs FR or Eberron, the two game worlds I like the least. I will fill any role needed, doesn't matter to me.
This looks pretty promising :) I'll get on with rustling up my warlock.
Radavel, Rev Rosey, Mordencranst, Aubrey the Malformed and Aardvark Barbarian head on over to the discussion thread and stat up your hero's.
Still can take one more player.
I'd be interested, but I'm curious as to why you aren't using the inherent bonus system, given that it's kind of tailor-made for the low treasure feel of Athas.

I did it mostly to promt the players into looking into options other than combat to gain magical items.
Fabes if your in head on over to the discussion thread.
I'm afraid I can't follow your line of reasoning at all. Rather than get into a debate, I will sit out. Thank you for your consideration though, it's appreciated.

I was wondering how this would work. In some ways, playing the weapon breakage rules without the inherent bonuses would arguably make it less likely that anyone would make an item, since you could invest hard-earned cash creating it and roll a 1 on your first attack. And I'm not too sure what exactly is meant by "options other than combat" for getting magical items. From what I've read, Dark Sun is supposed to be fairly low-magic so making it so characters have to create their own items sort of runs against that - the DM can't control the flow in the same way, and items would be a bit less special if they are made to order like a suit. Could you explain what you are trying to achieve? Thanks.

The way I see it is on Athas there would be very little permanent magic items but consumable items wouldn't be that rare.
Nobody would enchant a weapon as a whole for the reason you stated above but they would enchant a hilt of a sword or axe, leather wrapping on a staff and so on. So if you break a magic sword's blade in combat you just need to replace the blade and your magic weapon would be whole again. It’s the same principle that allows a magic bow to pass on its magic effects to a non magical arrow. As long as the hilt is whole it passes its magic to the blade attached. I also want the group to actively seek out more powerful magic items not only because you want them but because you need them to survive. With the inherent bonus system the group doesn’t have any reason to explore or take risks to gain a power bonus they just have to make it to the next level.
