D&D 5E Chronicles of Eberron Is Keith Baker's New D&D Book, out now!

After a few days of teasing, Eberron creator Keith Baker has announced his new book -- Chronicles of Eberron! By Keith and Imogen Gingell, the 200-page book will be available on DMs Guild in December.

​

Hektula is the Scribe of Sul Khatesh, the Keeper of the Library of Ashtakala, and the Chronicler of the Lords of Dust. Her treasured tomes hold arcane secrets still hidden from human and dragon alike. What lies beneath the Barren Sea? What powers does Mordain the Fleshweaver wield within Blackroot? Who are the Grim Lords of the Bloodsail Principality? All these secrets and many more can be found in the Chronicles of Eberron…

• Chronicles of Eberron is a new 5E sourcebook from Eberron creator Keith Baker and designer Imogen Gingell.
• This book explores a diverse range of topics, including lore and advice for both players and DMs, along with new monsters, treasures, spells and character options.
• Chronicles of Eberron will be available on the DMs Guild as a PDF and print-on-demand.

But that's not all! There is a collaboration with Hero Forge and new T-Shirts!

They also at least tried to highlight stuff in D+ for a while. It's weird to think that even low effort work like that wasn't worth it to them.

There may be a reason for that.

If you want to be pedantic, sure. But my point was that they created a venue for people to support their products, taking a huge chunk of the proceeds and making those things exclusive to the platform

Eh, they created a space for their IPs. Both creators and customers should go over the wall to the larger DriveThruRPG for any time they don't need IP in their adventures or supplements. There's a huge tax creators pay just for dropping in often superfluous references to the Forgotten Realms.

And, frankly, the larger pool of DriveThruRPG means there are many more boundary-pushing products there. If anyone has found DMs Guild underwhelming, decide whether you need to have name brand mind flayers or not, and then try DriveThruRPG. IMO.

Is there? There was a lot of Adventurers league items. But my understanding was that these were single session designed to fill a few hours rather than full adventures.

… or is there something i’m Missing?

Lots more than AL stuff. Plus some I’d the AL adventures are arcs that tie together. Also some kid the AL stuff are setting within FR.

But there is a ton of Non AL stuff there.

I like DriveThru and independent 3rd party D&D stuff, but it doesn't really solve the problem at hand, which is people being able to find reliably good material for the official 5E settings.

Adventures are a ton of work. I'd love to do one, but I'm currently running a pre made thing.

How do you find it. I’ve searched on the DMs guild under both Eberron Setting and Eberron World and neither shows up more than the 3rd and 4e stuff and the Adventurers Guild titles?

[edit] scratch that. It was just searching in official content not the 3pp. Sorted it

I have to admit I thought you meant in general, not Eberron specifically. I’d lost the context.

Oh! But I see your updated comment.

I can't speak to the quality, but when I sorted by 5e and Eberron I got 943 hits.

The vast vast majority of those aren’t adventures but there is a lot of stuff on there. That of course brings its own challenges.

I wish Keith Baker would release one of his own campaigns, but I get the impression he believes people should tell their own stories.

Do you mean to write for publication, or to design for personal use?
