D&D 5E Eberron: Rising from the Last War Coming For D&D In November

A new D&D campaign setting has appeared on Amazon -- Eberron: Rising from the Last War. It's slated for November 19th, at $49.99.

​

Explore the lands of Eberron in this campaign sourcebook for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.

This book provides everything players and Dungeon Masters need to play Dungeons & Dragons in Eberron—a war-torn world filled with magic-fueled technology, airships and lightning trains, where noir-inspired mystery meets swashbuckling adventure. Will Eberron enter a prosperous new age or will the shadow of war descend once again?

• Dive straight into your pulp adventures with easy-to-use locations, complete with maps of floating castles, skyscrapers, and more.

• Explore Sharn, a city of skyscrapers, airships, and noirish intrigue and a crossroads for the world’s war-ravaged peoples.

• Include a campaign for characters venturing into the Mournland, a mist-cloaked, corpse-littered land twisted by magic.

• Meld magic and invention to craft objects of wonder as an artificer—the first official class to be released for fifth edition D&D since the Player’s Handbook.

• Flesh out your characters with a new D&D game element called a group patron—a background for your whole party.

• Explore 16 new race/subrace options including dragonmarks, which magically transform certain members of the races in the Player’s Handbook.

• Confront horrific monsters born from the world’s devastating wars.

There is an alternate cover for game stores:

WotC's Jeremy Crawford confirmed that "The book incorporates the material in "Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron" and adds a whole lot more."

Maybe its place holder Art? The art doesnt match the art we have gotten from past books (minus the acquisitions book, ugh). All the books cover Art so far has been amazing.

I think they are not going to take the work of illustration and design so finished and then discard it. It seems to me that it is the definitive cover and although it is true that I do not find it very ... evocative, I am quite excited about the news. Not only because of Eberron (we all love Eberron) but because it is already the second setting book, and it is a step forward to see official versions of old worlds, such as Dragonlance, or new and varied settings.

I like the cover. Though I’d like to see what Hydro74 does. Also here is a wider view.

I'm pretty sure the cover is a mock-up or comp/placeholder. This has been done on other WotC books prior to official release. I'm sure it'll either be better or reworked OR completely different upon release.

No, when previous book covers were leaked, the art was accurate, I expect this is final.

I actually quite like it: very painterly, and evokes old pulp novel covers.

The alternate cover looks awesome though:

Never mind the cover, the title (Rising from the Last War) is a bit meh too, isn't it? I'm not entirely sure what it means, but I can think of better titles off the top of my head: e.g. Echoes of the Last War.

"Rising from" and "Echoes of" mean entirely different things, and only the former of them uses an action verb to indicate that the PCs will be DOING something. The latter suggests getting spoon fed some lore, IMO, which goes against the intended Eberron vibe of players being the stars.

I'm disappointed the Mystic will not be in the book. Psionics was an important part of Eberron to me.

I couldn't even tell you what the cover of any D&D 5e looks like. I don't pay any attention to it at all. I'm more interested in what's between the covers.
