Explore the lands of Eberron in this campaign sourcebook for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.

This book provides everything players and Dungeon Masters need to play Dungeons & Dragons in Eberron—a war-torn world filled with magic-fueled technology, airships and lightning trains, where noir-inspired mystery meets swashbuckling adventure. Will Eberron enter a prosperous new age or will the shadow of war descend once again?

• Dive straight into your pulp adventures with easy-to-use locations, complete with maps of floating castles, skyscrapers, and more.

• Explore Sharn, a city of skyscrapers, airships, and noirish intrigue and a crossroads for the world’s war-ravaged peoples.

• Include a campaign for characters venturing into the Mournland, a mist-cloaked, corpse-littered land twisted by magic.

• Meld magic and invention to craft objects of wonder as an artificer—the first official class to be released for fifth edition D&D since the Player’s Handbook.

• Flesh out your characters with a new D&D game element called a group patron—a background for your whole party.

• Explore 16 new race/subrace options including dragonmarks, which magically transform certain members of the races in the Player’s Handbook.

• Confront horrific monsters born from the world’s devastating wars.

There is an alternate cover for game stores:

WotC's Jeremy Crawford confirmed that "The book incorporates the material in "Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron" and adds a whole lot more."

Huh, I was getting the impression we'd be getting a larger campaign out of this, similar in scope to maybe LMoP. This really does seem like it's exactly the type of campaign setting guide we were told we were never going to get.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

They never said that we wouldn't get campaign guides, they were just trying to figure out a new format for them in the initial years of the edition. This looks pretty much identical in format to the Guildmaster's Guide for Ravnica, which is probably the standard for future setting books. It is much longer than Ravnica, however, at 320 pages instead of 256. It does seem that there is a longer campaign centered on the Mournlands per the product description and AL information, my impression now is that there is a basic intro in Sharn, and a more developed module centered around the Lord of Blades separate from that.
 



Well, the good news is that it doesn't have a terrible cover!

The bad news is (channeling @iserith ) ... this means that the stuff between the covers is terrible!

Heh. In that same little twitter thread he also says: "That warforged has customized itself in unusual ways. Each warforged can alter how it looks. That said, the book has plenty of traditional-looking warforged "
