[QUOTE="Pentegarn, post: 6404755, member: 100714"] The only comments of my post directed purely at Eberron were the ones about my not caring for the lore of the setting and hating the Warforged race. The rest was explaining that I don't generally like things that put me in mind of the modern or futuristic in my "D&D" game. I used firearms and "cyborgs" as an example, based on various experiences that range between various "D&D"/Pathfinder settings, of things that break my immersion in what I typically consider "D&D" and fantasy. Even without the Warforged, we simple didn't like the lore and "feel" of the setting. And despite going back to Greyhawk, and homebrew in 3e after trying Eberron, we all tried the DDO MMO, knowing they decided to use the Eberron setting. We thought maybe since it's a video game, it might not be so bad. The spells and other aspects of that game made it feel a little like D&D, but seeing all the Warforged running around right there on the screen just ripped the immersion right out of it for us. And again, there was the lore. So that didn't last long either. It's just a matter of what a particular individual or group considers fantasy, or "D&D". I prefer a more classic Tolkien style feel. It may be that a lot of players feel that the Tolkien style is outdated, but that was D&D to me when I first started into the RPG, and for my groups and I, it's classic fantasy for us. So our homebrew and any official setting that we prefer tend to stick to that style of fantasy. [/QUOTE]
