We just got a new unearthed arcana for
0:02
the 2024 D and D rules. This one is
0:04
called apocalyptic subclasses. And folks
0:07
who know things about D and D history
0:09
notice pretty quickly this is dark sun.
0:12
Dark sun is apparently coming back based
0:15
on what we're getting in the Unear
0:16
Darkana. Like there's a sorcerer king
0:19
subclass. There's a warlock with a
0:21
sorcerer king patron. There's a
0:23
gladiator fighter. Like that is all very
0:25
very dark sun. I don't know a lot about
0:28
the setting, but previously Jeremy
0:29
Crawford and Chris Perkins said that
0:31
it's unlikely that Dark Sun would make a
0:33
return because of problematic elements
0:35
in the setting that really you wouldn't
0:37
be able to rehabilitate and still keep
0:39
the setting what it is. And anytime I've
0:42
brought that up on videos or anywhere
0:43
else on socials, people have left
0:45
comments saying like, "Yes, there are
0:48
bad things in the setting, but the bad
0:50
things in the setting mirror the real
0:52
world in really interesting ways that we
0:54
don't seem to have problems with in
0:55
other settings. For example, uh
0:58
ecological devastation is a huge thing
1:01
in Dark Sun. The world is basically
1:03
ruined because a small number of very
1:07
powerful people use their power in a
1:10
destructive way because it benefits them
1:12
and they don't care about the
1:13
consequences. That definitely doesn't
1:15
sound like the real world, does it? I
1:18
don't know much more about the setting
1:19
beyond that. Like I know metal's
1:21
incredibly scarce thrier there. A lot of
1:24
equipment is like leather and hide and
1:27
bone and kiten and things like that
1:29
instead of traditional metal equipment.
1:31
So, it would be really exciting to see
1:33
what an official 5D adaptation of Dark
1:35
Sun looks like mechanically at the very
1:38
least. Um, folks who are excited about
1:40
the setting, tell me stuff about the
1:42
setting in the comments. I really want
1:43
to learn more about this, especially if
1:45
it's coming back. Like, I know a lot
1:46
about Forgotten Realms. I know a lot
1:48
about Eberon. I don't know Jack about
1:50
Dark Sun, but I'm excited to learn. Um,
1:53
folks who are curious to learn more
1:55
about Dark Sun, comb the comments.
1:56
Hopefully, people are helping out there.
1:58
Otherwise, uh there is a group called
2:00
Athys Lives that runs organized play
2:02
Dark Sun games at conventions. I've seen
2:05
them at Game Hole Con. I don't know
2:06
where else they operate, but yeah,
2:08
there's still very active. But yeah,
2:10
there's still very active Dark Sun
2:13
players out there, probably playing in
2:15
other editions or playing homebrew
2:16
content. If you want to learn more,
2:19
either check the comments or go find
2:21
them. If you know more, tell
