And pathologically distrustful of 50s Martians.

It also doesn't have any kind of traditional D&D magic - spells are psychic abilities that super-powerful aliens channel through "lucky" mortals.Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10745062840676790649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831219200072513986.post-80003099674088514962012-06-17T18:12:55.036-04:002012-06-17T18:12:55.036-04:00I should have put Dark Sun on the list.

I can already see lots of differences in terms of style (the stone-age weapons and D&D races of Athas being big ones) but there are some similarities too: decadent city-states with jade-domed temples, desert, etc.Necropraxishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12716340801054739658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831219200072513986.post-16040654023358663632012-06-17T18:11:10.458-04:002012-06-17T18:11:10.458-04:00"Uz Iz U""Uz Iz U"Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09873430636366896071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831219200072513986.post-77932770042148273152012-06-17T18:07:30.319-04:002012-06-17T18:07:30.319-04:00Uz is youUz is youZak Sabbathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812410680077034917noreply@blogger.com
