Yeah, I also had the pleasure of reading the Organizations chapter, and it was 22 pages of great adventure ideas. The different secret societies and prestige organizations are a big part of what makes the world interesting to me. I love that the dragonmarked houses provide a way of introducing...

Short version: I need a fantasy artist who can work quickly for a free project with pretty good visisiblity! Interested? Shoot me an e-mail at jhonenolain@yahoo.com Long version: As you may know, Wizards of the Coast is days away from releasing its all-new Eberron campaign setting. For the past...

To be fair, Keith's quote was taken a bit out of context. You can read the original statement here. Eberron has a lot of influences, and even does a few things that I'd call totally original in a published campaign setting. The pulp fantasy stories of Conan are one of those influences, and...

It's a great issue! For the issue's Eberron-related spoilers (some very neat stuff!), click here.

Hmm... I sense a challenge brewing. Maybe this has been done before, but why don't we post our pictures and see who's closer to the CBG end of the spectrum? :)

At least when I work with printers in my job, "four color" means "full color." Most of the covers look great. MM3 looks to me like a drawing of the intended cover rather than a cover itself, and Wizards is known for posting not-quite-complete art over in their library. As someone interested in...

Thanks for the clarification. I can't wait for the next issue! It's great to have you posting on these boards. The last thing any of us would want is for you to keep from posting because you're afraid you'll later have to make retractions.

Wow, thanks! I don't think I realized that. Hmmm... better check my homebrew stuff to make sure I don't have too many personal potions.

Forgive me if this has been discussed before, but I'm looking for some critical evaluation of True Strike. I can see how it wouldn't be a big deal for the party wizard to get a +20 on an attack roll with a dart, but it seems pretty nasty in the hands of someone with any real attack ability. A...

I the +2 Int deserves a bit of extra weight, but not an automatic +1 LA. I'd never want to play a Blue for stat reasons. It's balanced when compared to the standard goblin, but the standard goblin as a PC race is underpowered.

I guess my answer is "of course not!" I can't imagine a campaign that did have characters going, "Sorry, first level fighter, I'm level three... and you're going down!" In fact, I rarely even know the relative power levels of my opponents. For example, when I play in my prequel-era Star Wars...

I love it! All of the treasure-naming stuff is really practical. And the Greek name generator is something I could have used in many of my Greek adventures.

Yeah, the ability to use Large weapons is practically worth a +1 LA on its own. That *and* a +6 ability bonus is +2 territory for sure.

Fun! I consider myself quite a Sculpey virtuoso, but I've never tried to use it to make something as small as a miniature... and I didn't consider the potential uses at the gaming table! Thanks for the inspiration.

Since I came in too late to make fun of the "rouge" typo, I'll just have to provide an off-topic anecdote: When I was 11, my best friend (and only D&D partner at the time) was totally convinced that "rogue" was pronounced "raw-goo." During one session he DMed when I was surrounded by rogues, I...

As of the XPH, Psions have access to a very simple self-healing power, a temporary hit points power, and a couple of powers that involve "sharing" hit points. There's no real healing. Honestly, it would be hard to balance healing powers with their other formidable abilities. (Already they're...

Keith Baker posted a helpful clarification on the WotC boards: "While you'll get the most out of the stories by using them in Eberron, both adventures include a sidebar providing ways to adapt them to other settings. So you don't need to throw away a third of the magazine just because of Eberron."

I'm looking forward to it! That poster will be nice to have, and I'll definitely be running the official Eberron adventures alongside my own. I'm guessing these first few Eberron adventures will focus on the more distinctive elements of the setting, but future Eberron adventures shouldn't be...

Not to be a total dork, but I feel it's worth pointing out that the Eberron campaign setting will include a race of half-dopplegangers called Changelings. It's ECL 0, so you won't have the telepathy or the ability to constantly alter yourself, but a few levels in illusionist or egoist will more...

I just have to say this is a great thread with some awesome artists. Kudos to everyone involved!
