Yeah, I should be sleeping. The problem is, I can't. Insomnia is making me think about Planescape, Dark Sun and The Sprawl RPG.

happy to report that after being missing in plain sight for 30 years, i have found the Dark Sun Online: Crimson Sands beta client :)
if you're unfamiliar with DSO: it was a very early 2D MMORPG built on top of the AD&D isometric engine games like Dark Sun 1 & 2, Al-Qadim, etc. it went into beta around the same time as UO and Furcadia, and was super popular despite being riddled with bugs and rampant cheating from people hacking the client with hex editors.
i have a bunch of work to do to verify the file integrity (looks like disk 2 has a crc error) and try to fix what i can, but a step in the right direction 😎
update: yep, got it all extracted and it appears to be the DSO beta client from the spring of 96.

I was in a grumpy mood about video games, so I spent some quality time with a #ttprg, finally reading #Daggerheart and I was quite impressed with it.
Lots of interesting potential and they did a remarkable job of harnessing a great anime/video game vibe/homage in many of the campaign frames. Kinda reminds me of the energy & possibility of early the d20 boom.
Can’t shake the feeling many classic settings would be perfect frames: #Earthdawn #Dragonmech #ArcanaEvolved #DarkSun #Planescape

@malin I didn't know #DarkSun was controversial, but I'm not surprised. I remember it in 2nd edition #DnD . It was probably the first time I'd encountered #GrimDark.
I really liked it.
I find the idea that bad things shouldn't be presented in art, fantasy, or an #RPG to be morally repugnant. Easily as repugnant as glorifying anti-heroes.
It is in service to and in capitulation to the hegemony. It serves out oppressors while cloaking itself in progressivism.
It's better to explore these things, even at the risk of problematic elements, than it is to whitewash fantasy.
So that I'm not accused of a lane violation here... I would celebrate a fantasy setting that direcly addressed transphobia.

#DarkSun is another great example. None of these illustrations are by Brom, but if you're a Dark Sun fan, you instantly recognize them as as showing Dark Sun.
Having a distinctive color palette is the most obvious element here. The way the unusual sun is included prominently is another.
But it's also how armor consists of small plates connected by straps, and the exaggerated curved spikes on all weapon blades. -
So, apparently it is possible to make effective shuriken out of obsidian. Apparently Dark Sun was right when it included chatkcha as a thri-kreen cultural weapon.

Did more work on the forever project that is printing a physical copy of the #DarkSun rulebooks. No picture of python script I'm using, but, here is me next to the venue's decor

@Tim_Eagon
Favorite RPG settings, in no particular order, divorced from system preferences:* Dark Sun - The early 2E version. I have complex feelings about the novels, but I'd exclude about half (85% of the Prism Pentad)
* Dragonstar - Favorite mix of D&D + space opera
* Gamma World - Several editions had takes I enjoyed but I'd probably go for 4th & 7th especially
* Mage: the Ascension
* Changeling: the Dreaming

Day 13: ENVIRONMENTS
Echoing the #DarkSun aesthetic and using the #Shadowdark rules, I recently procured #Shadowsun. I gotta say I love the flavor and punchy, evocative text. Especially, the Adventure Sites section for the #RPGaDay2024 prompt. Fans of Athas will enjoy Althea.
