An introduction to Eberron?

[Jürgen Hubert]

I've managed to convince one of my gaming groups to play in an Eberron campaign (we'll be using the GURPS 4E rules, which will require lots of conversion work - but it will be worth it).

However, since they don't have the book - and don't really have the time to read it even if they had - I was wondering if there is a website somewhere out there that might serve as a short introduction to the setting - its nations, races, and other peculiarities, so that they can get the basic idea of the setting without me having to explain it to their faces (which would be difficult to do anyway, since I'm about 500 km away from them most days...).

Can anyone help me out here?

Here are some websites that I've found helpful:

Jhonen Olain's Eberron Journal (doesn't want to play nice in Firefox so use IE) - http://www.coveworld.net/eberron/index2.html

Official Site - http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/eberron

Dragonshard Articles (glimpses into life in Eberron) - http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/archeb/ds

Korranberg Chronicle (a fan based newspaper set in Eberron) - http://www.kchronicle.com/

I've not found one site that really lists the basics of Eberron, but I think if your players go to the sites listed above it will give them a very good feel for the world. My group loves it and I love DMing it. If they want to get an idea of gameplay, they can always check out our campaign log at http://3ednd.blogspot.com
