[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 6789699, member: 6704184"] Quick note on the Silver Flame. The repression and executions you're talking about were committed by an extremist offshoot of the faith, and were not the sort of thing the actual church condones or allows. The Silver FLame has some corruption, but by and large is genuinely a force for good, protecting the people from supernatural evil. anyway, Eberron as magepunk is fine, guys. The punk part is only associated with distopia in the case of cyberpunk. Steampunk is an inherently optimistic genre, on the other hand. Regardless of origins, words mean things based on how their used, which means that punk can mean either thing. But Eberron is influenced just as much by pulp, noir and dieselpunk stories. Really, Eberron is pulp Gaslamp fantasy. also, remember that in Eberron, the PCs are exceptional, in ever sense of the word. The norms don't apply. Your wizard PC is the most powerful wizard of the age, your bard's songs will be remembered for centuries, your fighter will...idk fighters bore me, you get the idea. They should be shooting past normal timelines of advancement like the rest of the world has been hit by an epic slow spell. Try having your characters be the [I]person who invents the high level things they're doing.[/I] Like, your wizard is the guy that these spells will be named after in a later age, because she invented them.
