Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arc" data-source="post: 2419410" data-attributes="member: 12184">To me, population numbers have seemed screwy in every campaign setting. Greyhawk, FR, Dragonlance... it always seems that the numbers are too low or too high. Maybe it's just personal taste.Regardless, if the issue is that big of a deal... change it. The book is there as a guideline, and if you feel like saying "All distances on maps are now half of their original values, and all populations are doubled" (or any other set of scalar multipliers)... then how much does that really change the setting? I don't think the pulp atmosphere, interesting views on races and cultures, and logical explorations of magic on a medieval society will suddenly vanish with the changing of a few numbers.I like Eberron a lot, and expect to keep liking it. It does, however, take a little adapting to get used to its new style. And its main strength, in my opinion, is that it can be easily adapted to different styles as well. It just needs a little DM imagination.</blockquote>
