Dark Sun is the grimdark, post-apocalyptic role-playing game you've always wanted but were too scared to try!  This video is the complete guide a new player will need to understand the history, peoples, politics and ecology of the brutal world of Athas.
Let me know how you feel about this (not-quite) forgotten campaign setting,what stories you have about playing it or if you want to try it for the first time. Most important of all should the Dark Sun make it way to 5th edition dungeons and dragons? Get ready for a world of sorcerer-kings, savage halflings, scorching deserts and a scarlet sun!
