D&D 5E Eberron: Rising from the Last War Previews

Fantasy Grounds has posted a preview of the official virtual tabletop package for the upcoming Eberron setting book. It gives a great sense of the content and art style to be found in the hardcover.

D&D Eberron: Rising From The Last War
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?

• 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.
• Enter the world of Eberron in a 1st-level adventure set in Sharn, the City of Towers
• Dive straight into your pulp adventures with easy-to-use locations, complete with maps of train cars, battle-scarred fortresses, and fallen warforged colossi.
• Explore Sharn, a city of skyscrapers, airships, and intrigue and a crossroads for the world's war-ravaged peoples.
• 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.
• Prepare to venture into the Mournland, a mist-cloaked, corpse-littered land twisted by magic.

Why would that be disappointing? I thought Eberron was perpetually locked in time. Meaning that the campaign books always set the year as 998 YK.

Oh I don't need the actual details to change, but the quality of maps has improved from 3 to 5 (hex maps, the normal dungeon maps is debatable if you don't like black-and-white).

Based on what Crawford has said, it seems that they have made the aesthetic choice to have weapon wands look like guns this go around (specifically regarding the Gnome Artillerist from the placeholder cover having a pistol). So, that's a Goblin with a weaponized wand.

It could be an Artificer(Artillerist) class feature called "Arcane Firearm"

Goddamn that art is really bad.
But I am excited for Eberron.

No accounting for tastes, I suppose? I like the 5E Halflings, personally, and I appreciate the low-buckle count.

We had such a good run with the art in 5e. I tend to think the art of the 5e halflings are an aberration in an otherwise solid gallery.

Unpopular opinion (around here): feature, not a bug.

I like 5e's halflings too...

I've always thought they looked just like tiny humans before

Precisely, Halflings and Gnomes are identifiable now. It's a solid art decision.

 

[Bolares]

And the whole concept of some art being bad is lost on me. Sure ther's art I don't like, or don't understand, but art is so personal and subjective that I can't categorize it as good or bad.

5e halfling

Compared to the Pathfinder halfling

There is indeed no accounting for taste
