Where did you find these in town Ankh?
Uh, and I ordered Eberron online for cheap, my FLGS closed down
I'm in agreement with Eberron being a great book so far - I picked it up at around 7 pm Thursday night, and only put it down at 4 am Friday morning because I couldn't stay awake any longer. I like the fact that everything old is new again, and I'm hard-pressed to find a new idea in Eberron I don't like. I'm just glad this isn't something put out by Games Workshop, because otherwise I'd be selling my soul to put an army of Warforged with halfling outriders in the field. I can't wait to see what comes next for the setting.

How about just the state as a jesture of kindness to all your ENWorld mates.

It's on York St across the road from the QVB (you know, that one-way street on the opposite side of the QVB from George St with bus-only traffic and all the bus stops lined up on it's eastern side).
I don't remember the name of the place (Archer's rings a bell but take that with a grain of salt), but the entrance is at ground level and then you walk down some stairs and there it is. Dingy little place that sells DVD's, CD's, vinyl, books, comics and magazines. Once you're at the bottom of the stairs, if you see a stack of tattoo magazines on a stand to your left, and the service counter to your right, you know you're in the right place. The proprietor has red hair and a junkie voice. His girlfriend never shuts up and tries to regale him with the inane tales of whatever's going through her mind at the time, much to his chagrin.

I checked out the Eberron Campaign Book in Hastings, and instantly fell in love with it. I have my own technomagical psuedo-post apocalyptic campaign called The Cursed Earth that I am running, so I will NOT be running an Eberron Campaign. BUT, there is so much great material to mine from this book, most especially the Artificer, which is so close to the Specialist Wizard (Technomancer) that I was developing for myself it is not even funny. Great minds think alike, I guess. I don't know how any technomagical campaign can get along without the Artificer core class.
And I too was struck with how much Eberron reminded me of a GDW game, with the same visual richness and potential descriptive depth. My worse problem is going to be retrofitting some of the races, classes, etc into my current game. Luckily, my players are used to "suddenly and without warning, everything turned Japanese..." changes. My poor half-elven druid's player watched her character in the last few months first lose her scimitar, then her scythe, gain a staff, and eventually gain a bow (due to her race, on my world, the aboriginal elves have disappeared, instead merging bloodlines with humans, forming complete tribes of half-elves, and it is these tribes that have kept the elven martial traditions of bow and sword).
I had been keeping a $25 BN gift card for a month or so, wondering what I was going to use it for. The moment I looked through Eberron, it was spent. Went online as soon as I got home and ordered it. Cost me about $3 total. Hopefully will get it by beginning of next week, cause I really really need it before next fridays game.

Sure, I've got expansive home campaigns I love. But it's fun to take a break now and then, and Eberron is exactly the kind of setting I can get in to. This book has me hooked. Last setting to do this was the Diamond Throne/Arcana Unearthed setting, which is a tougher sell to my players, since it involves picking up a completely different book. Eberron, however, is an easy sell; it sells itself, in fact. Unless your picky girlfriend poo-poos it.
