Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cergorach" data-source="post: 9811572" data-attributes="member: 725">Eberron needed both. And what it got was a tiny 112 page booklet, while Forgotten Realms got a 192 and a 288 page book. Even the Spelljammer expansion had 3x 64 page booklets...The Golden Stepchild of D&D? More like the Golden Basterchild of D&D...And while RftLW might be a good book content wise, I find it walls of text, and not in a good way, like the old 3e FR campaign setting. What the new FR books did really well was how it presented the different regions, in a condensed easily readable format. Not everyone has ~30 years of FR lore and books at their fingertips, nor do most people want that. Eberron isn't that old, just over 20 years. But the 3e Eberron books were a lot more attractive to pick up and read, something I find thoroughly lacking with RftLW.Note: I'm not a big fan of Eberron, some of the things I find enticing, others I do not find enticing at all. I do own all the 3e/4e Eberron books, and have looked at the 5e books. IF I ever were to run an Eberron campaign (concentrating on the things I like), I would use RftLW and this book, without a doubt for 5e 2024, but I also wonder if I would not use more of the 3e books. RftLW just makes the chances that I'll ever run an Eberron campaign all that much smaller.</blockquote>
