Dark Sun at the D&D Virtual Weekend December

I’ll be running 4 games of Dark Sun at the December D&D Virtual Weekend, hosted by Wizards of the Coast and Baldman Games. You can join the game, a converted Year of Priest’s Defiance adventure using pregenerated characters on Fantasy Grounds. New players welcome! Fantasy Grounds and Dark Sun taught!

You’re nearly out of water as you travel slowly through the dunes, but what is this!? A recent windstorm has uncovered a forgotten ruin. Will it hold salvation or death? A Dark Sun 5e adventure with 3rd level pregenerated characters. This is not an Adventurer’s League event.

Join the weekend at the Yawning Portal.
