[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 9757358, member: 2205"] I've always liked Eberron, but my biggest hurdle in running it has been its focus on themes that I'm not interested in pursuing. I've actually found that "remixing" Eberron to something that is Eberron-like but not exactly Eberron works better for me. That's largely true for every setting, honestly; I take a lot of the elements of them and hang them in a new context with new names (I did the same thing with Ustalav from Golarion; treating it as its own setting, but remixing it into my own horror-themed fantasy setting called Timischburg) for the same reason; either the themes aren't quite right, or too many details need to be changed for it to work. So I take the elements that I like, rename them, and recontextualize them with different themes. Honestly, I've often thought that Eberron doesn't even feel like it's trying to be a D&D setting at all. It feels like it really demands its own system that facilitates a pulp and noir tone and feel.
