[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7869431, member: 6704184"] Yeah, the Cogs is there for that sort of urban noir “gotta do crime to live” vibe, so that tracks. I disagree about the first part, though. I think the intention is simply that life is better in Eberron for the vast majority of people than it was for Victorian Americans or Europeans. Thanks! Yeah, even if we raise the population levels to a sane amount, it’s just not a dense world. Btw I could see Lanterns of Good Health in cities, which simply give passersby a bonus on checks to resist disease, and like...some kind of subtle cleaning effect. I wonder if Eberron has an equivalent to vaccines... IDK about “rosy”, but insofar as that term could mean “less terribly dystopian”, sure. I think one thing for all of us to keep in mind is that Eberron isn’t the same world for every group, in terms of how advanced, how overtly magical, or how consistently dystopian/dark it is. I’m glad folks like the Goodberry wine idea. I think it helps flesh out the world to have spells, items, and services, that just aren’t applicable to adventuring most of the time. And their employers’ ice room is probably effectively a community resource, with the benefits and drawbacks that come with that. But also most farms before the very modern age are very small single family farms, and yet they are able to save up for better tools, new barn, etc, as long as they aren’t struggling too much year to year. And those Druidic rituals are passed down over generations. The crop yields are just more reliable, outside of Karrnath. This means that single family farms will have good years that allow them to invest in a small enchantment on their apple room that helps ensure they don’t spoil, or an enchantment that keeps bugs out of the wheat, etc. Heck, yearly community rituals might revolve around refreshing everyone's enchantments. Exactly. [/QUOTE]
