D&D 5E Chronicles of Eberron Is Keith Baker's New D&D Book, out now!

After a few days of teasing, Eberron creator Keith Baker has announced his new book -- Chronicles of Eberron! By Keith and Imogen Gingell, the 200-page book will be available on DMs Guild in December.

​

Hektula is the Scribe of Sul Khatesh, the Keeper of the Library of Ashtakala, and the Chronicler of the Lords of Dust. Her treasured tomes hold arcane secrets still hidden from human and dragon alike. What lies beneath the Barren Sea? What powers does Mordain the Fleshweaver wield within Blackroot? Who are the Grim Lords of the Bloodsail Principality? All these secrets and many more can be found in the Chronicles of Eberron…

• Chronicles of Eberron is a new 5E sourcebook from Eberron creator Keith Baker and designer Imogen Gingell.
• This book explores a diverse range of topics, including lore and advice for both players and DMs, along with new monsters, treasures, spells and character options.
• Chronicles of Eberron will be available on the DMs Guild as a PDF and print-on-demand.

But that's not all! There is a collaboration with Hero Forge and new T-Shirts!

Even though I agree, I miss the transformer subrace

Not a subrace, but Exploring Eberron has a Druid subclass for that specific purpose - Circle of the Forged.

There are four. Just on the main continent alone. Then an entire continent of low magic and ruins from an ancient Giant civilization that's now a jungle, the undead elf island cluster, the cluster of islands ruled by pirate princes, the two poles and their ice-sheets, a continent of psionic-tek instead of magi-tek, and a continent of Dragons.

Check out Q'barra. Based on what you've said, it sounds like it would be right up your alley.

If you all tell me there is an area that is low magic, more 'rough', lower population, more 'frontier' like...I'm not sure what I'll do.

I mean... Western Breland/Droaam or Q'barra...

And Eberron isn't "high magic", it's "wide magic" - it's not that there are all that many people out there capable of slinging around 8th and 9th level spells, it's that the magical equivalent of the lightbulb has been massed produced and widely adopted.

Ok fair distinction. I guess I want 'narrow' magic then.

And no guns...

I was thinking of Q'barra, the Shadow Marches, the Demon Wastes, and the Talenta Plains. Droaam might count too, I guess, but it's not really "low magic" and more of "monster magic".

I don't think Eberron has guns.

Yep, those places exist. There are lots of them in Eberron.

Eberron doesn't have guns. It has wands.

Was kind of combining Western Breland and Droaam into one (since they're arguably the same thing, depending on who you ask) and focusing more on the low population, "frontier" aspect, but yeah.

Not innately, but Keith Baker has floated ideas for how one could incorporate firearms.

Whatever this is, I dont like it. Granted, fully my own opinion, but I am not sold on the Artificer.
