I like the Talislanta/Dark Sun feel. By that I mean Cosmopolitan Fantasy--the journal gave me the impression that Eberron will have plenty of races and cultures, both alive and dead.One worry I have is that if magic is so well utilized, where is the danger? If you can scry your foes and have a mobile, well-equipped magical military, why would wandering monsters be permitted to exist? It seems like adventures would run into the same difficulty as adventures in d20 Modern. In a world where magic and/or tech has tamed the wildnerness, it's tough to rationalize the simple dangers and joys of exploration. For example: widespread air power, while a neat idea, seriously limits danger--it's too easy to just "nuke from orbit".That said, I'm very curious and will definitely follow its development.-z</blockquote>
