[QUOTE="takasi, post: 1851465, member: 20194"] Thanks Thalmin. You're always the first one! :) 325, 326 and now it sounds like 327 will have no Eberron material? No sidebars? I would really like to see more support for Eberron and even FR in the pages of Dragon. More Eberron though, since FR has had a wealth of material published in the past. It seems like Dragon is doing overkill on crunch for D&D (do we really need to have an article for every class every month?) and too much fluff for non-D&D (Dune, Warcraft, Final Fantasy?). For example, what about Rakshasa? They are a huge part of Eberron. Do the Lords of Dust get any details in Dragon? What I find particularly disturbing is that Dragon has always attempted to put some "authority" on their ecology...actually, many their articles. For example, in the Duergar article in 325, here's a snippet: "Duergar society revolves around the worship of Laduguer, and gray dwarves show no distinction between secular and religous authority." This is just one example; there are several like this in that article. This material is setting specific material. What setting are they using? They don't say. Dragon is building their own campaign setting. "The Lone Craftsman" and the "Time of Perversion"? If they aren't going to be completely generic and crunchy, at least attempt to put in some sidebars for porting these articles to Greyhawk, Eberron and FR. [/QUOTE]
