We not only have read and understood more about the setting because we are fans of Eberron, many of us are also fans of the setting because we have read and understood more about it.Things like Keith Baker's posts on the WotC boards and his blog, and much of the additional material that has helped flesh out the setting and allow us to understand how it is internally consistent and nuanced have only increased our appreciation of it.However, it is likely that much of the playerbase is more like Hobgoblin: they'll have a flick through the setting, formulate a pile of misapprehensions and opinions based on that cursory glance, and so put the setting away and go back to Forgotten Realms etc.Eberron needs an intro or flagship material that portrays the setting in a way that doesn't cause that kind of confusion in new readers. Hopefully one of the upcoming adventure paths will do that, but what would people recommend for now? Eberron doesn't have the level of novel support that FR has, and the novels that I've read don't seem to have been as good. Existing adventure paths would require conversion. Most sourcebooks take the assumption of already knowing about the setting from the setting sourcebooks.</blockquote>
