Have you been disillusioned by Eberron?

[Bront]

Actually, I'm less interested in "Do you enjoy it?" than "Did you used to enjoy it and now dislike it?" and "Did you used to dislike it and now enjoy it?" What I'm interested in is the idea that somehow the setting used to be good, but as a result of new material/inconsistencies/etc. it is now terrible, or, in some cases, the reverse. So.

Ahh. Well, I enjoy it the more I work with it, but that doesn't fit.

BTW, We're waiting on your background in Kerrz Warforged game. Well, yours and Shaggy's I think.

Eberron is too far in the wrong direction for me. I have absolutely zero interest in that setting. Never have. I seriously doubt I ever will.

 

[Sejs]

Liked it then, like it now.

It's got enough nooks and crannies to hold the butter of my interest yet.

Eberron is still relatively new, though. Give people a chance to become jaded.

Howdy-

I think eberron is a pretty nifty setting once you get rid of the trains planes and automobiles.
I like Eberrons version of the Dark Elves as a semi barbaric race. I do not like the undead good elves, that to me at least is just plain stupid.
The new races and classes are fantastic, the Warforged and Shifters are pretty cool indeed. One thing that really reminds me of Eberron most of all is how alike it is to an old comic book series called "Battle Chasers", if anybody has read these comics, they know what I'm talking about.


see ya

You used to absolutely love Eberron, now I'm not so sure.

 

[BOZ]

i don't think Eberron's been around long enough to have changed a great deal. had to go with a default No.

Were it not for one big item; Or, should I say, a lack; I'd like Eberron. Øverall it's interesting, but it's missing something. Namely, people. Its rather sparse in population. Too much territory for too few folks.

Population in any species will expand to fit carrying capacity. What's the deal with Eberron? Is the place cursed or what? And when population is low for a given area it will affect social dynamics, population patterns, technology, and organization. You get right down to it, Eberron overall has the population density of marginal land inhabited by second rate hunter/gatherers.

Then you have the nations of the continent, Khorvaire. From the description of the continent and its nations and people I can only conclude somebody overestimated the area. Bring it down to a more reasonable estimate you could fit Khorvaire into England and have room left over for the Midlands.

Khorvaire is supposed to be a continent, but it doesn't feel like a continent. It feels like southern England with a huge toxic dump.

Disliked the rumors. Disliked the previews. Dislike the book.

I agree with Mouseferatu. I liked it then, I like it now, I expect to continue liking it.

Demiurge out.
