Indeed. I like all of the new races in Eberron, actually.

I don't actually know much about the others. I read a little of the book, and Warforged seem interesting, but, I dunno. I don't really know enough about them to decide whether I like them or not.

Yes, I know. But most sigs aren't that big, so it doesn't make it that much shorter -- not enough to make a significant difference, I think. So people have interesting sigs, and I don't want to have to hunt for a particular sig if I happen to want to see it or need it (like my own).

I don't consiter the top of the page to be hunting, but, meh. I've nevern eeded to hunt for a sig, and can't think of a reasin you'd need to, but you obviously have, so I'm glad you have the option either way.

I think Eberron is just addictive. Once you play a little, you can't stop. It's a new, interesting take on D&D.

Well, in a thread like this, everyone posts all the time. In a 'more normal' thread, I have to look around for posts. And I like that dude that has some beer song in his sig.

In what ways is it very different? I mean, it's still DnD, right?

It's still D&D, but it's a very different flavor. Halflings are Barbarians, Gnomes are accountants, Elves are fierce warriors, the entire world is low-level, but very high magic.

Sigh..

I don't have enough RP going on. I think it might be time for me to find a PbP game. But I'm still leery. I've never done this before, and I realyl don't know how it works. I've done realtime RP online, but never PbP or PbeM. Can any of you PbP wackos gimme a primer?

What do you want to know? Basically, you type out what you want to do and the GM types out what happens. There are a few different ways of doing things, but there are advantages and disadvantages to PbP. Firstly, it goes much slower. Much, much slower. On the other hand, I think there's much more description and characterization because since you have more time, you can be more creative and descriptive. Feel free to read any of the PbP games I'm in.

The one with Dormon (crossed out) was really cool before the game ended, and the ones with Tamin and David (the last two) are probably my current favorites. I like all of them, though.

Im just starting one-: the city beautiful (plug) but reading the existing games is a good way to tell how it works -
Dice are either rolled by DM or on a online roller(crystal castle for instance)
usually there are several paragraphs of description then a Out of Character block at the bottom of each post (if necessary) with the game info, lists of modifiers and rolls -
Many use 3 threads IC - or dialog and descriptions, OC - commentary and rules questions,(including recruitment and HR) and Rogues gallery - just a list of characters.

erm. the chief problems with playing this way is the slow speed for those of us on all the time.
and RL problems removing players for long periods (it is polite to notify all your games or just start an absent thread in talking the talk forum.)
The slow pace also encourages a lot of roleplaying, as you have a lot of time to figure out what and why your char is doing. you can also show thoughts behind your actions in an internal monolog.

Yeah, I want to join yours, EH, but I dont' know if I have time to make a character. I guess we'll see.

I've been looking over your Undermountain game, JDiv. Looks promising. I'd enjoy a game that I could play from work, at a slow pace. But it would need to be one in which my n00bish status wouldn't hamper the flow of things.

I quite like them, I had quite some fun playing Flawed, a warforged wizard (eldritch knight type), somewhat clueless about the workings of the world, and very clueless about the somewhat... erotic... advances towards it by the gnome artificer Plonk.
