Yeah, that's what is keeping me here. Everything I read just clicks and I can imagine a fun way to play it. I can't imagine ever having a dull moment or not being able to come up with something even on the spot, especially as I start to understand all of the connections more.

Alright, I'm in.

Thanks, I will look at it! I am afraid I won't like the art, I was already very luke-warm on half the art in the 3.5 books. Really love the sketched concept art linked in my OP, though! I just had a look at the new book coming out and can't say I enjoy the changing aesthetic. They seem to be...

I thought I didn't like it, and I guess I am still neutral. What I do like is that it is done so well in the books and has created so many interesting hooks and so much flavor. Hard to read a paragraph of any one of these books (3.5 in my case) and not envision how easy it would be to run and...

It's true, one of the three creators talks about exactly that on the Stone, Bone and Obsidian podcast. The races were originally more akin to Dune and Barsoom (he cites both of those specifically). He also said that while there was nobody saying they couldn't do this or that, the marketing team...

Depsite thinking it is a cool setting on the surface, part of my hesitation to ever wanting to run it long term is the fact that the traditional Monster Manual is nearly useless. Over time that would grate on me. I like some subversion in D&D and trying new things (and in fact my tastes are...

Fair! It is fully supported for 3.5 as well though, moreso than 4e. Definitely still 3.5e and PF players out there (my group never moved on from 3.5).

Totally. I've often wondered why there was never a setting with similar vibes but not in a desert. Scarred Lands for 3e is the closest I can think of. Were you a fan of that? And/or Eberron?

As good an answer as any!

People keep talking about Arcane and while I am interested in watching it I am actually afraid it will ruin Eberron for me as people, including Keith Baker, keep saying that it's the closest example of what Sharn is like in his head that we'll get from TV. Sharn in my head looks like a Yoshitaka...

I'm on a setting kick and there seems to be serious talk of Dark Sun being revived for 5e. Whenever Dark Sun comes up it gets a lot of praise. It's one of those settings where even people who have never run or played it so that they wish they had or could. The setting also of course falls...

I feel that this 2010 quote from Rob Kuntz is relevant here. He posits that medieval fantasy was only a weighed commerical decision that was only meant to be limited to D&Ds introduction, and that he and Gary felt that the game was capable of much more, and that they experimented with many...

Do you still use it as a setting?

Fair enough. Although, my group plays 3.5 and I really like that I can use my Monster Manual(s) to their full potential in this world. Dark Sun is another world I enjoy, but a campaign there would limit me to just a handful of monster maual entries and I would otherwise need to use the Athasian...

It's interesting how many fans Planescape and Eberron share. I suppose it makes sense though.

Quite obscure, although I actually know of Pelinore! Have not heard of Irilian.

Xen'Drik is one of the areas that interested me from the beginning and the one that kept me looking at the setting off and on over the years. What aspects of it had you balking at it in the beginning? Similar to my experience? What other settings do you like?

Is that the Rising from the Last War book? And what settings do you dig otherwise?

When you compare it to Greyhawk now, what do you think? And could you see yourself running Greyhawk again?

Sounds awesome.
