[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 2951176, member: 53"] Here is my take. Some of those people said "areas like the Eldreen Reaches haven't been covered" (fill in your own area of Khourvaire without a major focus). For me, I can easily create my own adventures and flavor for the Eldreen Reaches with what I know. We have the basic information, filling in the blanks is easy because we know about fantasy forest kingdoms and can apply it to the Eldreen Reaches. The planes are another matter. These are clearly different from planes from other D&D settings (whether you subscribe to the "universal great wheel" or the more individualized appoaches). I want some basic coverage on the outer planes similiar to what we know about the various areas on Eberron. I'm not talking about a book on the planes, just a few Dragonshards about certain planes or a Dragon article or two. What planes have been covered? Only two have had any significant coverage. Dal Quori has had a lot of coverage and Xoriat has had some references (mostly to similiarities to the Far Realm). What do these realms have in common? They aren't reachable from Eberron. Coverage of them isn't of much interest to the potential planar traveller. What other plane has had some small coverage? Dolurrh, because it's properties means characters coming back from the dead will be a very rare occurance, even if Raise Dead spell were more common. So, the coverage comes to a plane where you aren't expected to come back from. What about the planes that medium level characters can visit? A paragraph in the campaign setting, and nothing else. There is a huge blank spot here that stands out like a sore thumb. [/QUOTE]
