[QUOTE="reanjr, post: 2042980, member: 20740"] I was really excited about the whole concept until I read the guidelines where it stated that the setting was to be traditional. I really would have liked to see the dogs unleashed on this. My favorite settings from 2e are all the ones that were non-traditional (Planescape, Dark Sun, Ravenloft), so my hopes weren't too high on this one. It also detracted me away from making a submission. I probably would not have made one anyway as most of my ideas, while fun for my campaigns, are not what I would call commercially viable. When Eberron was released, it was pretty much what I had expected: Forgotten Realms with a twist, which in this case was "pulp" action. I was very pleased to see a setting that supported intrigue very well, though. I just wish they had focused more on that angle, and less on the action. I still think Eberron suffers greatly from lack of depth. I think they did way too much breadth, which may be good marketing, but not my cup of tea. [/QUOTE]
