I'll admit, I myself was surprised to find that Holy Bovine has actually been a member longer than I have and has five times my number of posts. And voted for Eberron! I would have thought we were natural enemies. Nonetheless, the fact that many votes are coming from unlogged in members isn't...

I hope that you're not in the minority - I think that's the intention of the poll, single product as opposed to series. With that said, when I said that I was curious because 4E was coming up, it's because I want to make sure the 4E incarnation of the core Eberron book is as good as it can be -...

I'm the same way. Oh, I run Eberron NOW, but hey, Eberron IS my homebrew (and I certainly feel free to diverge from canon). But I've had a lot of people ask me what my favorite established setting is, and the fact of the matter is that I never played FR, Dragonlance, or any of the other biggies...

While I'm going to recuse myself from the voting, I thought I'd at least say "Howdy!" Obviously I'm thrilled to see Eberron in consideration in this poll. It's been a remarkable journey for me, and it means a great deal to me that so many people across the world are enjoying the world. With...

With all that said, I certainly respect the role of "Race X is irredeemably evil" in many classic settings... and personally, the idea of a mortal race that for whatever reason is truly, iredeemably evil is one that I find both chilling and intriguing, and one that I've used in various homebrew...

While I find this view of neutrality to be broad to the extent of being useless. If you look to Eberron, it is a world that has GOOD and EVIL with capital letters. You have the Lords of Dust, physical embodiments of malefic ideals. You have the living nightmares of the Quori, and the walking...

Meeting Keith Baker was one of the biggest disappointments of my life. What a pompous #%$@. I told him "I've met Robin Laws, and you, sir, are no Robin Laws." But then again, who really is?

One thing to bear in mind is that the CotDB have a tremendously diverse range of beliefs. Few of them literally worship Khyber, or a daelkyr or rajah by its proper name. As has been discussed in a few places, while some cults seek to release powers from the depths, others simply see Khyber as a...

Valenar didn't exist. However, the Valaes Tairn - the culture that claimed Valenar - have been around for over thirty thousand years. So that one's easy; it's a Tairnadal banner, which the average modern human will associate with Valenar. Personally, I don't think that the Valaes Tairn are so...

Hmm, don't say that too loudly... it sounds frighteningly plausible! After all, we all know the gnomes of Eberron are devilish already; who's to say they couldn't suddenly throw away their disguises and reveal their true fiendish visages (Kidding, I hope!)!

Well, you've got Stormreach in Feburary... Storm Lord Kirris Sel Shadra is a gnome, and not one to mess with. ;)

Well, I've written about this elsewhere, but to summarize my "Why Eberron works with Points of Light with little change" thoughts: Khorvaire has a low population density. "Points of Light" has ALWAYS been the model. In Breland, you have a lot of villages and hamlets around Sharn, Wroat...

While you're at it, get a few more - they make great placemats, coasters, and cutting boards. Personally, I bathe in ECSs, which might explain the smell. Hurray! I love Daca (even if I didn't work her into the novel). I certainly understand the concern, but I don't think there will be anything...

Eh, guy's a hack. I avoid him like the plague. Just to rate my own stuff, I prefer "Steel Shadows" and "Fallen Angel" to Shadows of the Last War, which ended up a little wonky. Of the two, I prefer "Steel Shadows". Meanwhile, in other news, I think Crime & Punishment and Occult Lore both have...

I'm always looking for an opportunity to pull out those suspenders. ;)

Certainly. I was refering to what I've generally seen as Steampunk GAMES - Iron Kingdoms, Castle Falkenstein, Arcanum, etc. Obviously Space 1888 falls into this and AFAIK has no magic. However, the point to me is that people who call EBERRON "Steampunk" are typically seeing it in the...

Yes... in fact, one of the paragraphs of the original 1-page description called out the fact that it's NOT steampunk. For me personally, one of the central themes of steampunk is the presence of both magic AND technology (something also explored in Shadowrun). The point of Eberron is that you...

Pretty much. If you go to www.Bossythecow.com, you can find pictures of Bossy with everyone from Tricia Helfer to Dave Arneson (who I'm convinced are actually one and the same, but that's another story).

What I find odd about this analogy is that television has clearly established that the people who don't want peanut butter with their chocolate are always shocked and delighted when they actually try it. But if you're in the "don't mix your sentient constructs with my D&D" camp, I certainly...

I don't expect to change anyone's opinion, and I'm not going to address any specific points. But just to throw a few random thoughts onto the heap... To me, I see the warforged as less I, Robot, and more Blade Runner (more the movie than DADoES). I think of Roy Baty returned from the war to a...
