D&D 5E Keith Baker: Exploring Eberron

Eberron creator Keith Baker has been busy recently! He has unveiled the cover to his new book, to be released in July on DMs Guild in PDF and Print on Demand hardcover. It will dive into parts of Eberron that have received little attention in prior books, including the undersea civilizations and the planes.

Keith sent Sly Flourish a PDF copy of the book, which Sly flipped through

You know, if I play as a Way of The Living Weapon Monk, I may reflavour the class name as "Way of the Soulknife" if I'm playing as a Kalashtar.

I have been saying since 2014 that any Soulknife that comes out ought to be a Monk subclass, and that I'd used Way of the Fist Monks as chassis for Soulknife NPCs for a while now. It works surprisingly well.

More news will be coming next week, hopefully including a release date, but for now they're promoting the BLM bundle. The main BLM bundle actually has Archetypes of Eberron in it!

It’s hard to talk about dragonmarks and the dragonmarked houses without also discussing aberrant dragonmarks and the War of the Mark. I posted a sidebar article about Aberrant Dragonmarks not…

So some bad news - OBS currently has a three+ week turnaround on hardcovers. This came to my attention through general dmsguild product chat, but I'm assuming it also applied to the team now as they wait for proofs.

No chance they release the PDF earlier?

 

[ChaosOS]

They've previously stated that the agreement with OBS required them to launch both at the same time. Maybe they can renegotiate since that agreement was pre-pandemic?
