Are you planning on running an Eberron campaign when it comes out?

[Acid_crash]

Is this the wrong place to announce that I voted yes, I will run an Eberron game when it comes out? If so...don't throw too many tomatoes my way.

I'm all for it, and since this question doesn't ask if we will run an Eberron game verbatum, without any additional changes of our own house rules, you can bet that I'll add in my own races, some from Arcana Unearthed, Dawnforge, Mythic Races, and use either the Paragon Class option from Unearthed Arcana and Arcana Unearthed for each of the races or the Racial Talents/traits used in Dawnforge but I won't use standard races verbatum...

So, yes I will run an Eberron game, with my own additions and house rules to add to the flavor of the world, and it will be a kick butt game and very cinematic. Good bye Greyhawk, too mundane and boring for my tastes, and too normal.

Ebberon seems interesting enough, but I already own a metric ton of Forgotten Realms and Kalamar material. I've recently moved from behind the DM screen, so I'm not exactly in the market for a new setting to run now.

if supported

Only if it's supported by some really great adventures.

 

[Derulbaskul]

... and not supported by novels that resolve all of the CS's interesting plot hooks.

Then again, can we really trust WotC not to do this with a series of novels?

Dinosaur-riding halflings? Magical trains? Hard-boiled dwarven detectives? Ugh.

I'm a committed home-brewer in any case. I might take a look when it comes out, but so far it is not too exciting IMO. (It definitely does not look as original as Midnight or Dawnforge.)

[Edit: corrected typo.]

Yeah, what he said. (My sentiments exactly.)

(Except the edited part. *looks down* DOH!)

 

[Wraith Form]

Eberron would really have to show us some serious "wow" to make me want to run a game there.

That's what happened to me with Midnight.

Ditto

Another ditto here.
I got a torough look at the preview material, and I was bored... Somewhere it said that it was like sorta Indiana Jones and detective stories with full D&D flavor. Indiana Jones and D&D, oh my gods (Odin, Thor, etc.)... This post says it better than I would be able to word it:

Pulp Fiction D&D? Ick. The Phantom and his trusty unicorn? nope. Elven Raiders of the lost Arnor? gleep. The Detective Sherwood Elf and trusty warforged companion watson? eesh.

LOL!!

I'll be running a mini campaign to start off with.

Ebberon, for me, brings together elements of the books that defined the look and feel of my DnD game. 20+ years ago I was immersed in the works of Vance, Leiber, Howard, Mallory and Beowolf. I had read the Hobbit at school (mandatory book) and had tried to read LoTR (still haven't), but they never inspired me as much as other works. The only DnD campaign worlds I ever managed to form an attachment to were Birthright & Planescape. Greyhawk & FR for me just seem to merge into one, DL just rubbed me up the wrong way and Dark Sun appeared during my non fantasy gaming time. Ebberon may even convince me to upgrade to 3.5

You know... Conan is pulp and so is Elric right? How about Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser??? D&D is more influenced by pulp fantasy than Tolkien or literary fantasy when you look at the core of it. Alignments come straight from Elric man...

I will at least look at it. If I like it I will buy it and mine it for ideas/systems.

It is not likely that I will run it, too many campaigns waiting in a holding pattern already.

And while the dinosaur riding halflings interest me not at all, the hardboiled dwarfen gumshoe makes me want to rush out and buy a dwarf miniature and a package of epoxy putty! Dang it, I want to play that!
