[QUOTE="doctorhook, post: 5550568, member: 58401"] I feel like "kitchen sink setting" is something of a pejorative, but in a way it's apt for Eberron...sort of. The truth is that you can put probably anything from D&D into Eberron, but the other half of this is that anything you put in will change to fit Eberron.* If that makes it a "kitchen sink setting", then there ya go. Personally, I like how Eberron manages to be both so versatile and yet always mostly true to itself. *For the sake of illustrating my point, give me anything and I will demonstrate how it can fit. Some examples: [list] [*]You wanna adventure with Drizzt in Eberron? Go for it! Now he's got white scorpion-venom tattoos, lives as an outcast from the jungles of Xen'drik. He's had some famous adventures in the mountains of the Mror Holds with his friend Bruenor Battlehammer. [*]Wanna fight Orcus? Call him a Demon Rajah, have couatls trap him in a crystal underground in the ancient past, and have his cult (another Cult of the Dragon Below) scheme to release him into the world again. Add PCs and let simmer. [*]Your favorite deity is Bahamut, the Noble Platinum Dragon? Your paladin can say he learned about him from a tribe of Seren barbarians (human? dragonborn? lizardfolk? whatever.), who worship him as their patron deity. When you tell NPCs about Bahamut, expect them to spend their time explaining to you how "Bahamut" is just some primitives' misunderstanding of Dol Arrah, one of the deities of the Sovereign Host. [*]Elminster? Maybe he's not only a prodigiously powerful wizard, but maybe he's also carrying a Siberys Mark. Or maybe he's one of founders of Morgrave University.
