Pretty creative idea!

I don't think you'll have too much trouble finding character moves, but instead you'll find some really funky combinations. You can create moves like: When you <insert_basic_move> using your <insert_character_trait> trait you <bonus!!>.

Like "when you try to seize something by force using your "firestorm" trait, you act like a small gang".

Keys would also make neat moves.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was looking for. The sight attribute will be perfect for Dark Sun, and is easy to work with. Thanks a bunch!

There's no such thing as a horse in Dark Sun (I don't quite understand why...), but that's just aesthetics.

Thanks :)

I'll be honest. I have yet to see a mechanic that better describes and simplifies the 'wants' of the Dark Sun races. D&D almost ignores the concept as 'fluff', or invented convoluted and overly complex mechanics to understand how each race's society doesn't mesh well with the common society.

I couldn't decide on specific wants for some of the races. For example, should Elves be more want:anxiety or want:desperation or maybe even want:desertion?

I love muls; want:reprisals is a great mechanic but doesn't really describe the race but how the world treats the race. Muls are constantly under threat from slavers, and potentially their former masters. They are often looked down upon society as slaves.

Half-giants. Want:hunger. Yup. Always hungry and thirsty. That's what you get for having such a huge stomach in a desert wasteland.

Halflings should probably have want:savagery... but what do I use for 'Kreen? I like the want:curiosity (I made it up)... but maybe I shouldn't shy away from having multiple races with similar wants. They kind of mean different things despite being the same category. Want: judgement works well too.

Half-Elves (Curs) have want:desertion. What I really should just say is want:solitude, and make it up.

Want:obligation fits perfectly with the overly focused Dwarves.

Anyways, I should probably include a note with suggested substitutions, because there's so many...
