[QUOTE="Randolpho, post: 3474835, member: 3016"] I only just now noticed this post: Wow... Keith Baker, I presume? That'll teach me to spout off online; you never know when you'll actually get answered! Look, please take what I said with a hefty piece of salt. I actually very much enjoy Eberron as a gaming setting, especially Sharn and Warforged. I even broke my own long-standing rule against fanfic for Eberron. Not that it's any good, mind, but I always swore I wouldn't write fanfic. I broke that rule because I enjoyed one game I was in so much that I wanted to bring my PC and some of the other PCs to life, so I wrote a short story about her. Funny thing -- I ended up liking what I did with one of the other PCs so much that it's slowly turning in to a novel about him instead. Go figure. As I reflect back on the problems I had with your novels, I realize that my problem was really that your books read too much like playing a game of D&D. I realize from stuff you've mentioned here that such was your goal, and obviously you have a pretty strong market for such a book. It's just not my style, I guess... maybe I'm wired wrong. :) I'd very much like to know what you were going for with the epilogue of the third book. [/QUOTE]
