Ah, Dark Sun... The setting that spending more than ten minutes talking about will almost certainly get you demonetized. Love it!

KZread will probably hide this comment for awhile, but thank you for the Dark Sun lore video. Dark Sun has quickly become probably one of if not my favorite official D&D setting, as well as a major influence on me. I love the land of Athas. I love the Cracked, Dying Red Sun, the Sorcerer-Kings, the Dragon's and all of that. I'm super excited for the future videos on this as well! I find the possibility of lives on the moons could be very interesting for a homebrew campaign set on one of them as well. With a unique take on Moon Elves, perhaps.

The thing I love about the setting is that it is a Halfling-only campaign, the only race you can pick is Halfling or some variant of mutant Dire-Halfling.

Running Dark Sun using Savage Worlds is about the most fun you can have with tabletop gaming, in my opinion. A match made in heaven.

YES! ATHAS IS MY FAVORITE D&D WORLD!

I love Dark Sun! Unfortunately I've never found a gaming group that would play in that setting.

Love all the literary references and I would definitely try to build a John Carter character in the Dark Sun setting. The Barsoom series is seriously under appreciated in Sci-fi circles these days. I am greatly looking forward to this series!

My personal favorite d&d campaign ever, it's just so much more interesting to me than the more traditional fantasy settings you usually see in the games. If only we could get a new game based on the setting.

So as Conan Low fantasy fans, my Dad bought me books that appealed to his love of bodybuilding and Masculinity. The Cover of the Verdant passage instantaneously drew me in and I've read that book (the First Novel in the Dark Sun Prism Pentad) several times. Now as the modern forms of entertainment get all colorful and furry...I have gone back to the Conan-esque sensibilities and into Grimdark Low fantasy. Dark Sun will be my setting (for my D&D5e games) and Death a constant. This channel directly rekindled my love of these worlds and Lore. Thank you for your awesome and content rich videos!

Bodybuilding isn't so much as masculinity, but vanity - the same as the overly buff & busty women in this fantasy genre. Realistically, survivors of tough landscapes are often slim & sinewy, having to work hard for the very little food & water they can get. All the extra muscle just makes you tired & weak in comparison.

I love Dark Sun. It's so very - different - than many other settings. I also really like it's Mesopotamian influences (ziggurats etc)

I don't normally like fantasy but this channel has changed that. Especially this setting.

Yyyyeeaahh bbabbiii!! Dark Sun videos!!! I just spent the last 9 months creating a Dark Sun campaign for my friends! We havnt had a chance to start it up yet, but i had SO MUCH FUN making the campaign all on its own. Dark Sun is easily one of the top 3 settings for any D&D campaign

spicy 🔥 with a nice crunchy center and a enjoyable aftertaste nice job I will be coming back for a second helping

Man KZread needs more Darksun content, thanks for doing these!

I am VERY eager for more Dark Sun content. Great stuff.

One of my favorites fantasy settings.

I've played in the Darksun campaign since the first boxed set. I can't wait to see what kinds of videos you make about it.

Dark Sun is a fascinating setting... it willnever see a reprint.

Fantastic introduction to the Dark Sun setting! I love what you've done with your Dark Sun Skyrim mod. Thank you for the shout out to Rise of the Veiled Alliance and my other Dark Sun adventures-a lot of love went into them.

interesting highly intriguing! Personally, the D&D universe is confusing, stereotyped and even so I am amazed at its particular cosmology and narrative development! I love your channel, especially sword & sorcery topics! Really ingenious comparative, analytical and thoughtful introduction to this desolate, brutal and barbaric realm! Keep rolling!

Dark Sun has fascinated me ever since I started playing 2nd edition. I have the second boxed set and have unfortunately couldn’t find a steady group to play. Players were turned off by psionics and the grim dark miserable setting. I still live it to death and have tried to read any bit of lore I can find. Cannibal halflings ftw!

Please do more of these, I got into Dark sun lore pretty heavily and couldn't get enough of it, please keep these up !

I love how you started this with the quotes!

I feel like Green moon or Rao is a funny joke based on the Lore of Old Krypton. Rao was the sun god of krypton, green Kryptonite only works due to the fact that it isn’t exposed to red sunlight.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy 🎉

Great video as always! Can't wait to see more Dark Sun content.

Dark Sun Cannibal Cultists, Holla!

Thank-you for the video

Great channel. Good fortunes.

As a student of history, I feel it isn't civilization itself that is corruptive, but rather a civilization's failure to root out, punish, and destroy corruption that is often its downfall. Dark Sun is a good example, as it was in failing to stop the use of corruptive, destructive magic that ultimately caused the calamity that brought about its current state. If such evil was exterminated on sight and hunted down wherever it might try to hide back then, the world of Dark Sun would be a better place.

Great video! Do you think would ever do a video on kenshi btw?

Great stuff

Yes to all of this!

OOOH Dam I am glad you dable on this setting!

A normal T-Rex is bad enough, but an Athasian T-Rex is psychic. That means that when you freeze up, taking Jurassic Park's advice that "their sight is based on movement", not only can it see you perfectly well with its eyes, but it can read your mind and think to itself "LOLOLOLOLOL What bad advice, LMFAO!"

There should be an all races one already on the channel, but it depends on the demand at the time from donators and people who pay me. Right now those people more like Conan, but I suppose the next video I’d do in this series would be “All Sorcerer Kings in Dark Sun”

"This is not the lava from some volcano, for athas lacks the oceans to make them." Huh? Oceans aren't necessary for volcanoes to form.. all lava is from the core of a planet..

Love it man. Im training jiu jitsu in Brazil at the moment when i get back to new Zealand im going get i to DnD . I hope to find some people who play dark sun🙏. With the character creation is it a different set up in the sense. 1. You have to just pick a race from the dark sun world. 2. Can you make multi race. 3. Can you pick skills that reflect dark sun. Like survivalist and such. 4. What weapons and gear do you start with? Or do i pick that with my caracter creation?

A very very VERY minor correction, however volcanoes do not exist because of oceans, its the tectonic plates under either land or sea that create volcanoes, and lava comes from both. I digress, but good video.

Conan in Dark Sun perhaps?

have you ever heard of mystara

I've always kind of hated how the D&D Multivurse kind of insists upon itself, regardless of how little it makes sense in relation to any given setting. On top of that, it insists that all D&D worlds, even those run by you and your friends are connected to it, even if you don't want it to be. Sure you can always rule it doesn't have a connection, but thene you have to explain that to every new player.
