Keith talks about history. Nobles article coming next week. http://keith-baker.com/sidebar-making-history/

So while this is also a general system thought, I'd love to see martials get exploration-relevant features at high levels that help them stay relevant out of combat with spellcasters. For example, an exploration system that accounts for planar effects might also let the fighter ignore planar...

I'm personally a fan of setting a price but including the full product in the full preview and/or including discount codes in the description, it's a way to give it away but using the fact that people are lazy and do whatever the default is.

Keith clarifies how he sees the Order of the Emerald Claw http://keith-baker.com/ifaq-ec/

I'd especially emphasize that the orrery is a "useful fiction" based on ExE - while there is some regularity to their transit, the book also highlights that planes can become unexpectedly coterminous/remote during their larger cycles. So you can run games both about planned events and about...

I don't think you're particular familiar with the nature of Eberron - it was made purely in response to the WotC competition, in full collaboration with them. It's not like FR at all, where it was Keith's home game before it was sold to WotC. Lots of stuff in the original ECS were the invention...

Follow up article that was actually pretty interesting (I'm not a huge conlang guy) http://keith-baker.com/ifaq-elvish/

Chapter 5 of Exploring Eberron goes into great detail, but Dragonmarks: Reaching For The Stars is an article on his blog that goes into some detail. In short, the planes are other dimensions that embody specific ideas - peace, war, innovation, stasis, primal nature, etc. The image in the OP...

Niche but kinda interesting new post http://keith-baker.com/ifaq-languages2/

What would be nice is if they could get a better deal - Keith is still losing half the profits to dmsguild (30%) and WotC (20%). Furthermore, I'd really like to see WotC promote the guild more if they're going to use it as a reason why they don't do more content in general.

Worth mentioning it specifically includes the license for personal use, I've already seen a number of fans print it out for a poster

For the record the discord is plugged in the OP.

Quote from Keith on the gnome backstory back in October (from the Discord)

I mean there's already an actual wiki page listing the articles, although it could probably be a bit neater. I'm not sure how useful the enworld wiki functionality is?

Keith posted a new blog article last night, people in the ExE preview thread seemed to like me using this as an "Updates on Kanon" thread. http://keith-baker.com/ifaq-treaty/

Keith posted an FAQ http://keith-baker.com/faq-exe/

One of the big issues with monk subclasses is trying to decide between keeping to the power level of other subs, and making the monk equal in power to other classes.

The Xoriat section intro is pretty explicit in contrasting the plane with Lamannia. I think "In Your Eberron" it's totally valid to do different pairs, plus I don't think the pairs mean much, but if we're going on a textual "Keith's interpretation" kind of deal then it's Thelanis-DQ and...

Worth noting that ExE even calls out that there are monstrous gnolls in the Demon Wastes - the Znir are presented in depth because they are no longer demon-bound, have substantial culture, and tie into one of the regions getting focus in the book. I'm sure whenever Keith gets around to the Demon...

The Primordials bit was a 4e addition. One I personally liked, but worth noting that people who only played the setting in 2e wouldn't have any idea about that. Also, there's definitely a trend to darken the hobbitses, because it's a good way to set yourself apart from Tolkien. Eberron of...
