Keith Baker asks about walking away from Eberron.

Level Up seems to do a pretty good job adding complexity. 5e isn't the problem. It's what WotC wants to do with it.

Level Up is literally a 5e heartbreaker.

Level Up is literally a 5e heartbreaker.

Only if it fails. Hasn't broken my heart yet.

Level Up is literally a 5e heartbreaker.

It had a near million kickstarter with over 6 thousand on the kickstarter alone.

It didn't break the heart of the creators.

Keith Baker going PF2 would be really, really good for expanding their audience. Only Ed Greenwood would make bigger waves in that regard. WotC needs to be sending Ed some Doordash and roses right about now.

Spoiler: speaking of Ed... Greenwood

Level Up isn't 5e, that's the whole point.

Level Up isn't 5e, that's the whole point.

It is designed to be compatible with 5e, and uses base rules that are very similar in most respects. You can explicitly use it in conjunction with WotC materials with little or no problem.

If to you, "5e" actually means, "the series of products produced by Wizards of the Coast as the 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons", please let me know. To me, WotC and 5e are not synonymous, and I think this miscommunication causes folks here to talk past each other.

That requires knowing who those people are on sight. Want to spell it out?

Oooh Essence20 is a much better system than D&D.

Eberron is my favourite DnD campaign setting, I love the mix of genres and wide variety of stuff it can support. One of the few non WotC 5e books I bought was Exploring Eberron. So it pains me to think of Eberron without Keith, but I do understand
