It's also brought me new gaming friends in Ballarat, something I'm very grateful for. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Being somewhat interested in Eberron - but being unwilling to discard my current campaign for it - I've been looking forward to the RPGA sanctioned Eberron campaigns. In particular, the Mark of Heroes campaign.The first FAQ has been posted for the campaign. You can find it here:<a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=rpga/articles/moh20041018faq" target="_blank">http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=rpga/articles/moh20041018faq</a>There are some things in it that jump out at me...Wizards love the Whisper GnomeWhile not a core option, it's something allowed by the Campaign Cards. Given how wonderful some people find the race - I'm dubious to its balance, but I still think it's fun - it's amusing to find it available.There's a Kobold Champion fastplay character<img src="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/ab_gallery/309.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Well, I could be wrong. It might be a Kobold Sorcerer... but I think the champion is far more likely. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Psionics!Again, it's a campaign card option, but it is another sign that the XPH finally "got it right" and psionics is being more integrated into the core D&D experience.Design your own adventuresVery, very interesting. Traditionally, RPGA adventures are pre-written for you. Now, with the DM's Mark concept, a DM can create their own adventure for their group within the structure of the campaign. I'll be very interested to see how they approach this. Obviously, it isn't a free-for-all, but it's a positive step IMO.This may also help mitigate against the "holes" that have appeared in the Legacy of the Green Regent adventure schedule.Are there likely to be problems with the Eberron Campaign? Yes, I'd say it's quite possible. However, it does open up another way to play D&D for those who can't play in normal campaigns, and I'm very grateful to anything that increases the potential audience of the game.Cheers!</blockquote>
