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

Behind The Scenes of Exploring Eberron

No date, but officially announcing that it's coming next month in July

EDIT: I find this passage amusing

Once Exploring Eberron was completed, my jaw dropped at the final word count. I was dying to know how this compared to the recent Wizards of the Coast hardcover, Eberron: Rising from the Last War (which had not one editor, but five!).

Man I hope the mechanics are better/more in line with official mechanics style than Morgrave Miscellany.

Doesn't look like this designer had anything to do with Morgrave's Miscellany, fortunately.
