[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 1918092, member: 26473"] I'm a huge fan of swords 'n' sorcery, space opera, and masked avengers - my HB D&D campaign is very much the former, my first [i]M&M[/i] game was the latter, and I'd like to try a retro-future space opera game with d20 [i]Modern/Future[/i] somewhere down the line. Eberron doesn't really feel like any of these to me - it feels like too many disparate concepts bolted-on to the sacred cows of D&D. I know there are a lot of people that are passionate in their love for Eberron, and may Gawd bless you all, but for me, it's just not happening. For swords-and-sorcery pulp adventures, give me the Wilderlands of High Fantasy any day (and twice on Sunday). Now some may take exception to my use of the term pulp adventures... So if I understand this correctly, Eberron is a fantasy game with a pulp feel, but not a pulp fantasy game? I...uh...that's...huh....okay...little help? Okay, now you're just making my head hurt. ;) And one more thing... :) [/QUOTE]
