    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    I agree. For me, it's not a proper Eberron book without Steve's concept art and a Wayne Reynolds cover. I'm inclined to agree.

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    I've run all-Dhakaani games and all-Droaam games, so I'd be all for this.

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    Absolutely. Dariznu is a perfect tool for this. My vision of the thing (your mileage may vary, of course) is that the Cardinals put him in charge of Thaliost because hey, he's an Aundairian archbishop - surely the Aundairians will have an easier time accepting him over a Thrane governor. Except...

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    As a side note, tomorrow's HDWT Eberron Q&A blog will be addressing the subject of Droaam. If you have any questions you'd like to ask me about Droaam or the Daughters of Sora Kell, please post them on this thread.

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    Just as a note, I actually see the overzealous Pure Flame faction of the church as having more of a following in Aundair than in Thrane; a notable example of this is Archbishop Dariznu, who while he governs Thaliost on behalf of Thrane is a native Aundairian. Essentially, after the Church of...

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    Droaam is one of my favorite parts of Eberron. I don't know that I can see it as the primary focus of an Eberron sourcebook, but I'd love to write that sourcebook if it was. All input helps! Thanks.

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    Not to mention druidic raiders, proximity to the Demon Wastes, the issue of Thaliost, and a queen still interested in war. Seems like fun to me. Personally, I've never run a game set in New Cyre. However, I'd say that the majority of campaigns I've run - along with the Dreaming Dark novels and...

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    Makes sense. And which would you want to see? I was actually involved in an extended discussion about Cyre and Aundair on the WotC forums, but I haven't transferred it over to my website yet. I've also been doing a general weekly Eberron Q&A on my website, so if you have any topics you'd like...

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    I am inclined to agree. All of these seem like concrete suggestions to me, and I'd love to hear other ideas like this. If we focused on an area other than Sharn, what might people like to see? Stormreach is obviously a logical choice thanks to DDO, but like Sharn, it's also had a sourcebook...

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    And again, to be perfectly clear: there's nothing official about this discussion. I'm not a WotC employee. As far as I know, no decision has been made about the fate of Eberron in DDN. I'm just interested in gathering opinions so that if a discussion begins, I have some data and ideas to share.

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    Just to be clear, Kaodi, just because I raised the issue doesn't mean I support the idea of change. It's simply the case that it's a subject that WILL come up if Eberron receives support in 5E; starting the conversation now helps to clarify what people what. Personally, I feel that we have no...

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    I agree, and I'd love to have the opportunity to write more Eberron adventures. Unfortunately, WotC hasn't been producing a lot of setting specific adventures, and it's not something I can do on my own. But it's a good point; perhaps it's a policy they'll change with DDN, whether by producing...

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    Indeed. The idea of a modular approach to the future is certainly a fun one, especially with the idea of DDN as a modular system to begin with. And, of course, I've always wanted to explore a number of periods in the past. Of course, it may be quite a while until any sort of decision is made! In...

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    I'm happy with the 4E ECG, because I feel that we were able to focus on aspects of the tone that weren't made clear in the 3.5 ECS - the ongoing impact of the Last War, the tension between the dragonmarked houses and the nations, the nature of the Prophecy, etc. We were also able to draw...

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    I've been doing a weekly Eberron Q&A on my website, and I recently got the following question: Is there any plans to advance the Eberron timeline for 5e? Perhaps addressing (among other topics) the Cannith leadership dispute? First off, I don't know what sort of support Eberron will receive in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Racial restrictions on Dragonmarks in 5E?

    It's still a valid point, and one people have complained about before. Dragonmark mechanics never quite worked in 4th. I do think that themes are a good solution in 4E and likely DDN, depending on the role of themes there. I've talked about the "universal race" dragonmark issue and some of my...

    D&D 5E (2014) Racial restrictions on Dragonmarks in 5E?

    I'm late to the party but just wanted to point out that Defcon has it right. The sourcebook removed racial restrictions for the simple reason that if you were playing a human fighter in Forgotten Realms and your DM was OK with it, you could take the Mark of Warding. For that matter, if your DM...

    [Eberron] Q&A With Keith Baker: Dwarves!

    I lurk and pop up occasionally. ENW is certainly one of my favorite forums, it's just hard to keep up with every forum - hence trying to start a weekly QA at my site as a place for people who want to ask me questions directly!

    [Eberron] Q&A With Keith Baker: Dwarves!

    My latest Eberron post on HDWT addresses people's questions about the dwarves of Eberron. Other recent topics include Cannith vs Zilargo, Draconic miscegenation, and more. Check it out and ask new questions!

    Eberron Q&A with Keith Baker

    Hey everyone! I've got a little more time on my hands at the moment, so I'm getting an Eberron Q&A column going at my website. My goal is to post every Wednesday, and I've pulled it off for a few weeks now. This is not official content on the level of the Eye on Eberron or Dragonshards...
