Happy Free RPG Day

Free RPG Day is a way to try new games for free. Check out all the free adventures at DriveThruRPG: http://www.drivethrurpg.com

Upcoming Game

I'm excited to start running adventures under the Dark Sun once again. The party is formed.
1. Female Human Water Cleric/Clairsentient. Played by Jay.
2. Male Pterran Ranger. Played by Clyde.
3. Male Human Psychokinetic. Played by Dave.
4. Male Human Psychokinetic. Played by Ben.
5. Male Human Fighter/Preserver. NPC.

I found it interesting that the two players who are new to Athas both decided to play Psychokinetics. Ben was unable to make it to our character creation session, so he made his later without knowing what the other party members were. Interestingly, he also chose to be a human from Balic.
My NPC choice was due to the lack of magical support. Also, the Ranger is the only hit point bag, so I thought it'd be a good idea to add another fighter type. The lack of a thief might hurt them, but there are ways around that.
I'm excited to see what happens.

The Shepherd and the Erdlu. A Dark Sun Fable.

A Shepherd, watching his Erdlu eating in a scrub plain, was alarmed all of a sudden by the cries of an enemy. He appealed to the Erdlu to run with him, lest they should both be captured, but the animal lazily replied, "Why should I? Do you think it likely the conqueror will place on me two sets of packs?" "No," answered the Shepherd. "Then," said the Erdlu, "as long as I carry the packs, what matters it to me whom I serve?"

Upcoming Game and Equipment List

I'll be starting an upcoming Dark Sun game. So far, I have two players who have committed to playing. One will be a Human Water Cleric/ Clairsentient. The other will be a Pterran Ranger. I have a few other players coming over to draw up characters on May 26th. I am excited to get back under the Dark Sun.

I am also working on a comprehensive equipment list for Dark Sun. To begin, I have made a clothing list. Please, feel free to review and let me know if I've missed anything. Thank you.

The rest of the equipment list is on the right, or here.

The Kank and his Shadow. A Dark Sun Fable.

A traveler hired a kank and his owner to carry him across the desert. The day being intensely hot, and the sun at high sun, the traveler stopped to rest, and sought shelter from the heat under the shadow of the kank. As this afforded only protection for one, and as the traveler and the owner of the kank both claimed it, a violent dispute arose between them as to which of them had the right to the shadow. The owner maintained that he had lent the kank only, and not his shadow. The traveler asserted that he had, with the hire of the kank, hired his shadow also. The quarrel proceeded from words to blows, and while the men fought, the kank ran off. Both men died, for the kank carried all of their water.

AD&D 2nd Edition Character Sheet

I made these awhile ago. I use a seperate proficiency sheet with the Skills and Powers rules. Both of these use the Skills and Powers rules, but one is for original psionic rules and the other is for the updated psionic rules. I hope these help someone out.

The Sick Erdland. A Dark Sun Fable.

A sick erdland lay down in a quiet corner of his scrub plain. His companions came in great number to inquire after his health. Each one helped himself to a share of the best plants near him. The erdland died, not from his sickness, but from a lack of nourishment.
