Is Eberron a dead world yet?

[pawsplay]

Here's something I've suggested a few times for post-apocalyptic Eberron:

The neogi arrive with giant arachnoid constructs and do a reenactment of H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds. Hilarity ensues.

Mmm, buttery...

Yeah it got shot in the head by a Warjack and a Gunmage. I kid, I kid.

Hard for me to take this thread seriously, sorry.

Would you consider this thread dead, then?

I think he might be trolling.

Folks, if you feel there's a problem with the post, report it. Speculative accusations of trolling are not constructive. Either the poster is innocent, and has now been needlessly insulted, or is guilty, and may well choose to act indignantly innocent. Nothing is gained in here either way.

True. Sorry about that. My bad.

No, not at all there's no Gun mages around he-BLAM

I...guess...I was...wrong...ouch, still got 44 hit points left. Now where did that Gun mage go?

 

[Remathilis]

grrr...

No Eberron is not dead. Despite what some people here and abroad think, the new kid is doing quite well. I don't foresee Eberron being ended, dead, recalled, or burned to make room for the ceremonious return of Greyhawk* anytime in the near future.

Viva la Warforged!


* Gary Gygax's version, of course.

Sorry to sound Trolly, but I'm not. I'm just wondering. I've not been in the product loop for a while and with all the speculation going on about 4E, I really wondered what's up.

Does it seem like something that they could better support when 4E does come out? I'm speculating that they may look for yet another world..or perhaps an evolution into player designed worlds such as is happening online.

Thoughts?

Em,

You must be bored to be pulling the Eberronites leg so badly. I mean this is worse than someone going around saying Scarred Lands is dead!

(It's not!)

Except poking him in the head and saying "You're bad!" and guilting him.

The 4e speculation has been going on since essentially the day 3.5 was released and has yet to produce a single tangible result; in short - it's entirely irrelevant.

Eberron was built from the ground up with the 3e ruleset in mind, so I'm not sure 4e would serve it well - but I think it more likely that 4e will be shaped by Eberron than the inverse. All indicators I see seem to be positive, from the number of books in the line to the (antecdotal) local buzz.

About the only thing Eberron is missing so far is a hit video game; Wizards has tied the setting to a (poor, or at least very odd) MMORPG and a (poor, or at least very odd) RTS, neither of which were very successful. Considering the demographic they seem to hope Eberron will appeal to, they really ought to invest the money to get a quality console-style RPG set in the world, even if that means contracting with an overseas development team.
