It's one of the reasons I'm not so sure that "Indy meets Maltese Falcon in D&D" is a good core story summary for Eberron. I flirted with running a film noir Eberron campaign, but the core story pretty much runs something like this:Unpleasant people try to take advantage of each other while cooperating to perform a criminal, barely legal or immoral act in order to achieve greater degrees of power or wealth. In the process of performing the dirty deeds, their friends are hurt or  killed, their businesses are ruined, and women cry (occasionally because of real emotions). Once the deed is done or (more likely) the characters failed, they wallow in self-pity for a while before hatching a new, riskier scheme to gain more power and wealth.Sounds like fun, no? I have a list of them I'd recommend you rent from Netflix.Doesn't sound like Eberron or, for that matter, Indiana Jones or D&D.I've decided to run a pulpy Eberron game instead. After all, the setting comes with flying machines, dinosaurs, and robots!</blockquote>
