Just my 2 coppers... I'm not sure if there is any current "official" rules, but I remember in the old days, demons (and devils), could only be truly destroyed on their home plane. If slain on the Prime Material, they could not come back for a year and a day. If killed on their home plane, they...

The first level has a lot of empty rooms. And I do mean empty. Not even any carvings on the walls. And the monsters are very repetative. For $100? Geez. You could have taken the Fiendish thing a long way, and made it a lot of fun. Fiendish elves, anyone? :]

Well, there's your first revelation to come. Sharn is built on top of thousands of years of cities. There is no impossibly high level lich creating a maze for characters to slay monsters and gain treasure, that sells t-shirts to give to your friends who stayed at home. :p There is, however...

I tried DMing it; the first level bored me to tears. So I gave it to one of my players who is a DM, and he began running it. As a player, it's ok, especially since he is spicing up the 1st level a little bit. After the 2nd or 3rd fiendish darkmantle, you start to yawn. I understand wanting to...

So, if a city has a necropolis, it is invalid? Man, Egypt is in trouble... :lol:

And Waterdeep is just Lankhmar with a different name... ;) Each city has wonders and horrors that differentiate it from all others.

I seriously doubt it. But, for those of us playing in Eberron (why aren't you? ;-), then it is fantastic. Just like the main book, there is potential adventure on every page.

I'd like a copy as well!

Unfortunately, I think someone will pick it up and go, "Damn, this is complicated. I'd never be able to do this." It's much, much easier to learn by doing when it comes to an RPG.

I think this book has the potential of scaring off more players than it attracts, especially given the high page count. I always tell potential players that I could spend 3 hours explaining the rules, or they could play for 1/2 hour and know everything they need to know... :confused:

1. Wipe the memories of everyone on a planet. Let them know how to talk, know the fact that they must eat, etc., but no one knows who they are, or how to use magic, technology, etc. Real confusion. 2. Destroy all standing water. 3. Increase gravity 10 fold. 4. Decrease gravity 10 fold. 5...

Look for a copy of the old Middle-Earth Role-Playing module Mines of Moria. It has a cool random map generator, along with a lot of cool ideas.

Has anyone come up with sort of a "What the characters know" document about the world of Eberron? Because of communications and the availability of the written word, especially in Sharn, the characters would know quite a few things.

Ouch, my guts hurt from trying not to fall out of my chair at work :lol:

OOH! You just reminded me of another one: A ranger called Iva Biggun. :lol:

Ok. A long time ago, on an Air Force base far, far away, lived a fledgling D&D player named George. I finally talked George into creating a Dwarf character, because I thought he would enjoy it. After he was done creating the character, I said, "Now, George, your character names so far have not...

That's a toughie, especially in D&D, which, good or bad, items are usually important. My only imput is, in a campaign I played in long ago, the DM took our stuff away just temporarily during a battle, and we freaked out pretty bad. But in an even earlier campaign, we found ourselves in an...

So far I like 2 things from CA: 1. The Warlock - Still not sure if this is balanced as a PC class, but, man, what a good villian! 2. The enormous number of spells. Lots of gems there.

The maps in the book are quite good - for what they show, which is just districts and how they are layed out in relationship to each other. But Sharn is so *big* and complex, it would be hard to have consistant landscape paintings showing the skyline. Sharn seems to rival some sections of...

If it were me, I'd run, not walk, to the exit. I GM my wife all the time. She definitely does NOT get ANY special treatment. In fact, she's often the lowest power character, by choice. When we play, they're the players, I'm the GM, and that's the end of it. Sounds like you got quite a bad...
