[QUOTE="Gradine, post: 8265230, member: 57112"] I've been running Eberron nearly exclusively for like... a decade-and-a-half. Right now I'm setting up a campaign around Candlekeep Mysteries, and I'm planning on having it set in an alternate universe version of the Sword Coast that functions, lore-wise, more closely to Eberron than Forgotten Realms. Some changes I've got so far: *Alignment is Eberron-style; race is not destiny. To be fair, I think Candlekeep is already rolling with these changes, what with the good-aligned jacklewares and yuan-ti and what-not. *Religion is tone-downed FR-style; there are tons of deities that are provably real, but they are [I]way [/I]less active in the world than is typical for the setting. This was always my least favorite aspect of the setting, honestly. *I've made the world quite a bit smaller, because if WotC can't be arsed to develop the setting outside of the Sword Coast why the hell should I? My deep knowledge of FR is centered around Baldur's Gate I and I guess playing Lords of a Waterdeep a bunch? And that makes me the expert at the table. Basically, if it's not squarely between the Icewind Dale and Calimsham it's Undiscovered Country. I may have to move some things around to make that work, but <shrug> [/QUOTE]
