I admit it, I like the charts:



EDIT: Rich also mentioned in the update that we should expect a new comic tonight, and that there won't be another update until said comic is posted.

I cannot imagine ever wanting to play a game in Dark Sun, it sounds awful. Magic is terrible and shitty unless you are the worst thing to exist and also your weapon is going to break on every 3rd or so turn.

I dunno, it might be a welcome change of pace if you're tired with the stereotypical fantasy setting and want something darker and edgier. You know, something where magic is something truly terrible and fearsome, not like something that makes the hover trains run.

I considered giving it a go, but it was only available in 4e, which I hate, so... Pathfinder instead ;)

Combat in Dark Sun just seems so tiresome, you're spending so much time worrying about your shitty brittle weapons.

Which is why you learn not to use them and instead learn to improvise solutions. Dark Sun is all about using your environment to your advantage... things like traps, ambushes, and other guerrilla tactics can really turn the tide. It's really not a "dungeon raiding" setting... it's more a "survival of the fittest" thing.

Not what I was expecting. Is he gonna go for a ''well she tried to steal the phylactery from me to claim the glory'' type deal?

Holy...frig. I mean...geez. I honestly thought this would be slowing down, but it's not. It's like a wonderful, unstoppable force of pure fan love.

Also, damnit I wish I had a spare $222 for THE WHOLE STORY pledge. :(
