[QUOTE="JudeSedai, post: 2565312"] Personally, I'm very heavily against Eberron because I fear that a lot of us don't know the setting the way we know older, more established settings. I'm also against merging the settings again, although it would be convienent in a way (ie, folks moving from the Emporium to the tavern smoothly, etc), it would limit options, especially if enforcement of the settings becomes much stricter. I feel it's important to have two settings so there can be more variety. Not everyone likes Greyhawk as a setting -- especially given the firearms restrictions (yes, I remember that blurb), among other things. Having the Emporium set someplace else is a good idea to me because it does allow for more options. I'm still all for sticking the Emporium somewhere in Faerûn (in the Dales, perhaps? They're somewhat central), though a homegrown setting, provided that we can hammer one together quickly in such a way that it's cohesive and understandable, would be good as well. The strength of using a published setting is that there's information out there on it in the form of books, but there's also a great deal of information on the setting out on the internet about it as well (second edition stuff, as well as some d20 stuff from before the setting was released for 3E). At the same time, while there's a great many plots going on in a published world, there's also a great deal of space on the map that we only know general things about -- there's numerous cities and towns that aren't listed in the setting, various regions where there's not much known, etc. Something that's easy to find information about -- and a lot of it -- would be a good thing, in my opinion. That having been said, I'm still against Eberron. I haven't looked at it much, but I don't feel like it would be a good setting for the Emporium simply because it's so new. I've seen maybe three characters in the past several months that are clearly from Eberron (at least one warforged, but I digress). I see characters that are out of the 'Realms every day. The fan base is there (for FR), the information is there. I say roll with what we already know is popular. But that's just my pocket of change on the subject. I'm sure I'll think of more. [/QUOTE]
