[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 3442145, member: 48965"] I totally agree with your above statements. Once again in no way do I think it's a bad setting, just not my cup o' tea. It's funny you all think like this because in another thread me and some others debated setting design vs. adventure prep where some argued whether preping a setting was a waste of time or not. I don't believe it's so, and really believe the way a setting is designed facilitates and enhances adventure design. I think saying Eberron promotes "adventure" over other settings is a fallacy, but I won't argue that it doesn't promote certain kinds of adventure better than other settings. I believe that's the whole purpose of a setting. I honestly don't see much noir in Eberron(in the classic...Heroes as morally questionable as villians, tragic ending, etc. type) more the hard-boiled detective(which really isn't classic noir). I also don't find it to really be dark fantasy, I think this and Pulp kind of clash. I believe you can alter or play up certain aspects to reinforce the dark fantasy, but I think Eberron is at it's heart pulp. [/QUOTE]
