D&D 5E Keith Baker: Exploring Eberron

Eberron creator Keith Baker has been busy recently! He has unveiled the cover to his new book, to be released in July on DMs Guild in PDF and Print on Demand hardcover. It will dive into parts of Eberron that have received little attention in prior books, including the undersea civilizations and the planes.

Keith sent Sly Flourish a PDF copy of the book, which Sly flipped through

New post, this time on how to formulate a fairy tale for use in an Eberron game. Honestly this advice is pretty setting-agnostic to using the fey, the Eberron bit is that's the examples.

IFAQ: Faerie Tales in Eberron

My Patreon supporters are still voting on the subject of the next major article, but it the meantime I wanted to take a moment to answer this question from The Ultimate Human: In an upcoming advent…

More Thelanis content. Everyone seems to really like the plane of faerie

IFAQ: Historical Figures in Thelanis?

My previous article on Faerie Tales in Thelanis raised a number of good questions that I wanted to respond to. But these IFAQ articles are supposed to be short and focused, so rather than expanding…

Vaporware?

Vaporware?

Considering that they are still doing previews, I serious doubt it.

Just to mention something as to why there might be a delay... I noticed reading the preview tweets that in March, Keith Baker mentioned he was on a cruise.

The news in the past few moths around cruises has been decidedly "not good." Hopefully just a coincidence, and KB is ok and not impacted greatly by the global crisis.

March has continued to be a crazy time. I was helping with gaming events on the JoCo Cruise, so I just returned from a week on the oceans… and I did come back sick, though fortunately not with Covid-19. So I’ve been recovering from that and adjusting to the new pace of life on land. I am still writing, and this means that we don’t have a firm release date for Exploring Eberron yet; I will tell you as soon as we do. However, editing and layout continue on the completed sections of the book. Wayne Chang and Laura Hirsbrunner have been working tirelessly to keep things moving forward, and I wanted to share the week’s previews!

Quote I pulled from Exploring Eberron Previews - Keith didn't get the 'rona, but stuff did get delayed

Also, some words from the editor on the Discord

And to be fair, this growing number of pages isn't him adding new content. It's him taking the number of pages that we had planned for existing content, and him writing more about those topics instead of wrapping up the chapter when there are things on that topic he has left unsaid.
I can't blame him for wanting to do it completely, lol

On the subreddit Keith said the book is "a month away", which I assume is because writing isn't done yet - final editing, layout, and proofing (because this is POD!) Will take time.

I think this is going to be a good book!
