Message: <blockquote data-quote="stevelabny" data-source="post: 2951262" data-attributes="member: 9298">Sounds more like the haters of certain settings hating on the pimpers than the pimpers threadcrapping.Let's look at the post.Ok, so he wants a 3.5 setting. Eberron is the main choice here. As most other settings are pre-3.5. Ok. Eberron only has 4 adventures with less than stellar reviews, and a 4 or 5 more in Dungeon magazine. Of course, what the poster doesn't seem to realize is that there really aren't any settings with lots of adventure support.   FR and Eberron get semi-regular coverage in Dungeon. Greyhawk might too, but can hardly be considered a setting anymore. Most other settings don't have lots of adventure suport, Scarred Lands is dead. Kalamar has a decent sample of adventures, but I haven't heard much about them either way and to call the DCC adventures a setting is just silly. They have no connections. Plus, just about any of these settings will have most if not all of the adventures written under 3.0.Never having done PCP myself, I can only go by what I've read and that doesn't help me figure out this statement. Apparently other posters agree. Maybe if the OP went into more detail about how/why he thinks Eberron "seems" like that.Asking for non-FR WotC once again leads squarely to Eberron's door.Available to PCs/NPCs Eberron has a high amount of low-level magic, but a lower amount of high-level magic. Sure there's Manifest Zones allowing magical areas like Sharn, and commerical devolpments such as Warforged and the Lightning Rail, but its supposed to be harder to find a caster who can cast 4th level spells or higher than other settings.  Everyone has their own definition of low-magic. Well, its still sorta tacked on to Eberron because Wotc needed to play it safe and make it removable, but a new player race and whole continent of Psionics is more than most other settings. Based on your wants, you really need to explain the Eberron seems like FR on PCP statement.  What you're asking for is mostly impossible, but Eberron is a closer fit than any other setting I've read about. Some other settings might fit one of the criteria better, but then they will be worse in other aspects. Admittedly I haven't played all of the settings mentioned, and I bet very few have.  So of course that's why there are many responses pimping how their favorite settings fits the criteria.</blockquote>
