I have been playing a Mycon in Starconrpg for a long time. The Mycon is a race from Starcontrol that prefers shattered land, or lives on shattered planets.

I noticed that Dark Sun also have shattered land, is this the place where most of the dark sun people are located?

I would love to see what your shattered land is like.

Mmm, maybe if you made your request understandable to us we could help you...

You're in the wrong place if you are seeking a scifi link. See, Dark Sun is a tabletop, pen & paper fantasy RPG. Its likeness has been used twice in old computer games, called Shattered Lands and Wake of the Ravager.

The expression "shattered land" is just a commercial name that SSI (the computer game company) used as a title for its product. The expression is not actually a part of the setting.

I like fantasy more than scifi.

That is why I quit playing on starconrpg and told the other aliens that I was tired of fighting against them in outer space, and rather wanted to live alone on my shattered planets, where most of the other aliens are unable to survive.

Actually, I've been planning on introducing some of the Star Control RPG races as potential races for regions outside of the typical Dark Sun Tablelands.

Hard conditions usually breeds forth strong biological structures.

That is why I was hoping to find strong breeds from the shattered land in Dark Sun.

What races were you planning to introduce?

How is your system for psionic abilities?

Understand that the "Shattered Land" isn't a specific loication in Dark Sun. it's the name of one of the computer games based on the Dark Sun campaign setting that was made years ago. It refers to the idea that Dark Sun's world, Athas, is a shattered, desolate, dying wasteland. It isn't like the Mycon idea at all. However, all the races for Dark Sun are a bit stronger and more resiliant than your typical fantasy setting because of it.

I'm not certian which of the Star Control races I'd bring in. I know it won't be many, because several of the Star Control races are rather fragile and/or don't really belong in the dry barren desert-world that Athas is.
