    Khorvaire:Two Problems

    Amen. No one is standing over the simulationist's shoulders and telling them not to change things. EDIT: Comment snipped by Henry for ignoring Piratecat's warnings to be civil to one another in this discussion.

    d20/D&D books you own: likes, dislikes, actually uses

    Mongoose Publishing Oooh, almost forgot! Mongoose Publishing stuff is great! Airships, Doom Striders (no better Eberron additions I can think of :-), and Torn Asunder, Critical Hits, as well as their outstanding Slayers Guides. Great stuff!

    d20/D&D books you own: likes, dislikes, actually uses

    How many d20 books? More than I care to think about. At least 3 shelves on a standard bookshelf worth. Love AEG's single-word title books; Mercenaries is fantastic, Toolbox is something every DM should have. Hate: Anything new by Gary Gygax. World Builder blows a$$ cheese. I have a lot of...

    Keith Baker (creator of Eberron) Q & A thread

    Amen! I love the distances between towns. I hate having population centers 1 day or less walk from each other. Boring! As other people have said, this is not Europe, this is not earth, this is not a real place. Magic and monsters and ruins and other planes of existance. The land can be laid out...

    Khorvaire:Two Problems

    Nor should you! This is perhaps the most pointless thread I've seen in a long time. Read your favorite fantasy novel. I'm betting the characters spend days, weeks, even months getting from place to place. That's one of the very cool things I like about Eberron. There are large areas that are...

    Taking the prestige out of classes

    I don't remember where I saw it, but someone came up with the idea of turning the pre-reqs into a series of quests the PC has to complete for some organization to become the PrC.

    Your biggest screw-up as a DM?

    Milk a cow; you get milk. Milk a bull... you get a friend for life.

    BBEG of a Different Color

    I played in a campaign where the guy who hired us (who was either good or evil, depending on who you asked) ran around with us polymorphed as the cat familiar of our female wizard (his daughter, but she didn't even know it was him). We never figured it out, but it made sense after the DM told...

    Keith Baker (creator of Eberron) Q & A thread

    Things Not to Do in Future Products (IMHO) Love the setting, it beat out my $200 worth of Kalamar stuff to be my next campaign. That said, a bit of advice: Don't put out products that enforce an overall story. Let us advance Eberron the way we see fit. Reason being; I love using good...

    Classic Lines from Players

    Out of the mouths of Dwarves Discussing ways to knock out the guard to get the cell keys: "I say we just toss in a fireball and wait for the keys to cool." :eek:

    Kingdoms of Kalamar: Ask the Emperor!

    Pronuciation Ok. I'm going to run a Kalamar campaign, and have spent a couple hundred on materials. But I have one request. I know there is a pronuciation guide in the Atlas. However, I refuse to sit with two books and flip back and forth - this is unecessary. So here is my request: In any...
