I studied the Weimar Republic in detail back in school (not uncommon in Germany), and the sort of political tensions that existed back then are perfect adventure fodder. I dunno, but the political and social situation of Eberron seems more interesting and realistic than those of the Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, and all the others - which means it is a lot easier to steal from real world history (at some point, I'll introduce a book entitled "The Protocols of the Elders of the Trust"... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  ).Sure, Eberron might not be the best fit for classical Epic High Fantasy - there are no titanic clashes between the forces of "Good" and "Evil". But then again, I prefer my Epic Fantasy linked with Cosmic Horror, with no one to bail out the PCs if they screw up in their battle against the Abominations From Beyond - and Eberron is perfect for that style.</blockquote>
