[QUOTE="Cinerarium, post: 1840104, member: 9349"] Don't like Eberron? What's not to like? - No FR-style Elminsters overshadowing everything your PCs do (i.e. your PC can be a real hero, not the lap dog of some vastly overpowered NPC) - Lotsa, lotsa, lotsa intrigue - Dragonmarked houses for those entrepreneurial types - Distinct racial cultures - Only regular elves and drow - Action points - Cool class-oriented feats - Semi-real world national cultures (Aundair/France, Karrnath/Germany, etc.) I'm really not trying to start a flame war and I do like the FR (sometimes) but I really like Eberron. Come join my game. You'll have a blast. I love intrigue in the campaign -- lots of well-developed NPCs with their own agendas and plots. I love tough, tense combats and letting the dice (and bodies) fall where they may, as opposed to lots of meaningless encounters. I love character-driven storylines where the PCs are not automata following whatever leads I provide, but basing their decisions on their histories and relationships with each other, the NPCs, and the rest of the world. I love the look of "Holy :):):):):)" on players' faces when they figure out plot twists and all of the puzzle pieces fall into place. I love the look of "Holy :):):):):)" on my face when players surprise me with clever tactics to challenges be they roleplaying or combat. Sign up folks. It'll be worth it and we'll have a blast.
