Alternity was released in the 1990's when TSR was still alive but on life-support. I played it once or twice and thought it was decent at the time (although that was many years ago - can't remember much about the system now). D20 D&D 3rd edition came out in 2000. I think the D20 system...

I also prefer KB's version to the UA version. It has more of a traditional Eberron feel (obviously) than the UA version.

Nice take on dragonmarks. I am not sure which I like better, Aldarc's or Gradine's. You both have given me some good ideas and thoughts, and I will have to sit down and give them both more consideration. As for when character's get Dragonmark's, I think my players would feel there needs to be...

I agree, which is why I don't think a total Eberron CS re-do is needed but a SCAG or some form of website or document that takes what little has been done already and coalesces it into one location or document, but revised and expanded to allow for a true, full 5th edition Campaign setting. I...

We have generally abided by this rule since D&D 3.0. You get better at being a fighter by fighting things; you get better at being a thief by stealing (whether you are successful or not - you learn by mistakes, too). The only area that makes this logic fall apart in my mind is for...

I think the Unearthed Arcana seems the most likely in that they already have an Unearthed Arcana of sorts within the WotC DnD 5th edition website. So what I would foresee them doing is coming out with a book that is 25% compiled information from those documents and 75% new material, but not as...

I was never a big fan of the V&V game system. I much preferred Champions. However, the V&V guys had better adventure modules, characters, villains, and artwork back in the 80's, so I would buy their modules and adapt them to the Champions system. Worked pretty well.

Has anyone used the Hero Forge 3D printer customized miniature creator? https://www.heroforge.com/ I am interested in finding out how good (or bad) the miniatures are, particularly in the different plastics they offer. Thanks, Collin

Very good. I was going to add something along these same lines. After TSR started getting nasty letters from the Tolkien estate, Gygax et al. tried to distance themselves from LotR and The Hobbit as much as possible. I seem to recall an interview with Gygax around this same time (early-to-mid...

That is pretty much how the warlock in our group has been. BORing. The player is not fond of the character at all and has stopped coming the last few sessions so we've been running his warlock as an NPC. They just seem so weak at low-level, moreso than other classes. And if you have to...

From the Eberron Campaign Setting by WotC, copyright 2004, page 68: "The Sovereign Host consists of the deities most commonly worshiped by the majority of Khorvaire’s population. Most people revere the Host as a whole pantheon, offering prayers to different deities in different situations. Even...

Essentially, yes according to the regular rules. But the Sovereign Host in Eberron is made up of various "gods" (or demi-gods) and typically followers worship the whole Host, but perhaps favor 1 or 2 of the pantheon that suits their needs, beliefs, and lifestyle. Clerics of the Host will...

Shorter adventure modules and campaigns are not just for the computerized young. When you get to be an old gamer, you have LOTS of other distractions that take you away from finding time to get a consistent group together and play an RPG. So I would say the Adventure Paths are not only for the...

I have read about this possible future had Don Kaye lived since the Gygax interview by Ciro Alessandro Sacco first came out around 2000-2001. Like many who have heard about Kaye, I have also speculated on 'what might have been', but every time I do, I basically come to a similar overall ending...

I noticed today the Dungeon Masters Guild has posted a 5th edition re-imagining of the Artificer class. Since I am an Eberron fan, I hastily got a copy and have been looking it over. As I might expected, there are things I like and things I don't like. I like the thought that went into the...

I started out running a campaign like this several years ago in D&D 3.5 and using the Eberron campaign setting. It worked very well in that setting because 1) Eberron has a high-adventure/pulp feeling, and 2) all of the various House guilds readily available in the Eberron world from which to...

Not exactly a generator, but a good, all-rules encompassing Excel character sheet produced by Forged Anvil is available in the Resources section: [[http://www.enworld.org/forum/rpgdownloads.php?do=download&downloadid=1234]] Aside from rolling up your initial character stats, it is great for...

We currently have 2 monks within the group to which I belong (both human, 1 open-hand, 1 elemental, both 4th level). So far, overall I would have to say that as combatants, they have been the most effective at low levels. The rest of the party consists of 4th level dwarf rogue, half-elf warlock...

Curious they decided to create this character as a Fighter rather than a Bard or Rogue. An fascinating twist, at least character-wise, but I'm not sure what to make of it. Anyway, the NPC book may be more interesting than I originally thought if they are going with unusual/expected characters...

I enjoy the comments in this thread so far, and I agree that, although perhaps not meant to be a tournament module, it is probably best used as such. Gygax has stated in interviews that he created it because his players thought there was no dungeon he could come up with that would be...
