[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8272928, member: 6704184"] Eberron has more fun with the papers, but yeah, Waterdeep actually benefits a lot, IMO, from running it a lot like one would run Sharn, but with less corruption. The big difference in my FR vs Eberron is simply that Waterdeep is a very rare city in all it's magical technology. Even Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter aren't as advanced, though they have their own cool things going on. Waterdeep is The City. It's got subways propelled through tunnels by arcane mass drivers that create wild lightning storms within the tunnels (so watch out you don't get to close when a car isn't stopped in front of you, wards protect the platforms and the train cars, but only if you stay within them), fully-functional plumbing with running water and magically purified waste disposal that converts waste into fertilizer for farms and ships it out at a tidy profit, tenser trolleys (ie floating trolleys) that are worked by teams of invisible phantom workers that you can hear but not see, and Kaladesh style personal vehicles to take you across the city and up to the tops of various enormous buildings. but that's MY FR, inspired by the much more magitech Waterdeep of the 4e era.
