Dragonmarked Inquiry, out of left field.

There was also one instance where our party was one of three teams who were taking turns to investigate a mine (or something), looking for a particular item. The party who found it first earned some reward. I'm a little fuzzy on the specifics, but it was basically a dungeon crawl where every half-hour of real time or so the party would have to surface and a new party would go in. The DM made up two other sets of character sheets with a short blip about the character's personality on each one and handed them out for us to play, so we spent the next couple sessions switching between three characters each. I remember having a lot of fun playing the "evil" party. My regular PC was a cleric who had just begun to multiclass into ranger (for roleplaying reasons), and wasn't very useful in combat yet, but the character from the new party was a dog-riding, lance-wielding, halfling fighter that kicked arse and only really cared about himself.

Totally a kick ass idea Might end up revamping that and working it into a few sessions in the future

Have you finished the rest of the series?

No, I haven't... Actually just finished reading that book Monday, and have only read the first chapter of the second book... So thanks for cutting that.

Np The series gets really good, I have borrowed pretty much all of Blargs Eberron books so far (think he has all that have been printed). Needless to say we really enjoy the setting. Plus I go thru one book every night or two

While I enjoy the Eberron sourcebooks, I have to say that my enjoyment of immersion in the setting has increased massively since I started reading the novels. The Dreaming Dark series and the Dragon Below series are both seriously excellent. City of Towers ought to be mandatory reading for anyone who plays or DMs in Eberron.

Aye... That's the whole reason I bought the book in the first place. Wanted to run a game in Eberron, but just couldn't sit down and read all the information in the campaign setting. City of Towers has worked wonders for easing me into the setting and giving me a working knowledge of not only Sharn, but the setting in general.
