D&D 5E Keith Baker Presents Closing Doors On Eberron

Keith Baker has announced that his Eberron-based publishing company will be ending production after 4 years. The company, led by Eberron creator Keith Baker, produced four incredibly popular books on the Dungeon Master's Guild--Exploring Eberron, Chronicles of Eberron, Dread Metrol, and Eberron Confidential. There is one more book planned--Frontiers of Eberron: Quickstone will be released by Visionary Production and Design who will also be continuing publication of the four existing books.

Eberron is an official D&D world, and was introduced to 5E with Eberron: Rising form the Last War in 2019.

We appreciate all the support and enthusiasm that our fans brought these past four years, and it is with a heavy heart that we must inform you that on June 30, 2023 KB Presents will be closing its doors. It has been a joy and honor to bring you our version of Eberron and we are incredibly proud of what we have created.

As we pursue new challenges and opportunities, we leave the existing works under the stewardship of Visionary Production and Design (https://twitter.com/visionarypnd). This includes the following Dungeon Masters Guild titles:

Exploring Eberron: Exploring Eberron - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild
Chronicles of Eberron: Chronicles of Eberron - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild
Dread Metrol: Dread Metrol: Into the Mists - An Eberron / Ravenloft Crossover - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild
Eberron Confidential: Eberron Confidential - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild

Our final book, Frontiers of Eberron: Quickstone, is slated for release in the latter half of 2023 and will be published under Visionary. We appreciate your taking this journey with us and we look forward to our paths crossing once again.

Thank you!

Yes, we have every intention (through Visionary Production and Design) to continue supporting the current books on DMs Guild.

What does “continue supporting” mean? Does that just mean leave them on DMsGuild or something else?

Continuing support means new content, or at least the intention/expectation of new content, to me.

I would think so too, but they say this applies to the existing books. So are they updating the books?

I don't know. I hadn't heard that.

Yes,
That is why I asked!

Do we ignore everything created for it that wasn't by KB?

Yeah, honestly. As I noted in one of my other posts. Take the content he's released, and thats it, you have a complete setting and canon. Very simple, very clean lines of 'is or is not'.

So all the 3e stuff not by Baker is just thrown out? What if I don’t give a crap about “canon.”

Should the rule of cool apply here or is that only in game?

I think @Scribe was expressing their personal view. You don't have to agree with it.
