Do you ever play in Eberron?

[haiiro]

I've been itching to play or run Eberron since it came out -- although I'd prefer to play it than run it (which is unusual for me). So many things about this setting just line up for me.

 

[ValenarJaeldira]

My only steady table-top is a homebrew that is lots of fun. It's bi-weekly. On the off-weeks some of the other members of the group play Eberron. I wish I could!

The PbP game I just got into is Eberron: I want to try and get into every one that comes up. I love the setting, I love writing characters for the setting, I love playing with all of the different cultures and factions and the adaptibility of other DnD stuff to the setting.

My roomate runs a game for me sometimes, when we're bored, where I controll all four PCs. We are a warforged commando squad playing through the publish adventures. My roomate, he says, adapts them a bit for added fun, and I must say, I'm really enjoying them.

Whenever my friends and I have time for an extra one-shot game, we play Eberron.

I am such a Fan Boy.

I make no bones about saying that Eberron is the Anti-A'koss campaign - it promotes everything I've tried hard to strip out of my own game. It was really disheartening to hear that WotC's latest setting had a level of magic permeating society even greater than that of FR. Not for me!

I'm running an Eberron game atm. It seems to be working out well and the players love them Action Points. However, it's on hiatus at the moment until the players stop being flaky and show up once in a while.

I've run an Eberron campaign live, and I'm still running a long-term Eberron campaign via IRC. If you couldn't guess, I love the setting.

Demiurge out.

Though the flavor of the setting runs counter to what I DM I'd have little trouble playing in an Eberron game.

I doubt I'd ever run one though.,

 

[weasel fierce]

Not my kind of fantasy, after reading the book. I'd play if it was offered though.

 

[Bront]

I'm planning to start running one once the current campaign that is running winds down. All the players are excited, and it seems like a fun world.

My only complaint about the setting is that there seems to be too many plot spoilers just hanging out there, like in descriptions of countries, or groups, basicly littered throughout anything beyond chapter 6. While it's nice to know, they could have made either a GM section with these, or perhaps released a seperate GM's guide accessory to the backstories of Eberron. Still, it's minor, and I generaly don't use anything straight, and will likely rewrite up a bit of the organizations the PCs are familiar with and a what they know of history once I get a feel for their characters.

I've never had a real opportunity to play in an Eberron campaign (in that I've been around when people have mentioned their plans to run one, but it's never been convenient for me to play), but I would very much like to.

... Wow. So far no one has tried it and not liked it. Guess that says a lot.

I must be an exception, then. There are a lot of details that seem fun to read about on the boards and Wizards site, but actually playing in the world, it felt pretty incoherent and lacking in any real motivation, and the adventures (Forgotten Forge and Queen with the Burning Eyes) were just one stupid thing after another.
