Questions for Everyone about Eberron.

[Najo]

I agree that Eberron is better mined for ideas than holds together as a cohesive setting. It feels like it lacks unifying elements.

Eberron is a good campaign setting. However, it is NOT D&D. D&D is, and always will be Greyhawk. Eberron is a fantasy world in which you can use the D&D rules to run a roleplaying campaign. If you want to play D&D you play Greyhawk.

But I have enjoyed playing Eberron despite the many things it contains that are antithetical to D&D as I see it. Just my opinion. YMMV. (i.e. no flames please)

I like two things about Eberron:

1) The new spin on traditional fantasy races. Undead worshipping elves? Devious gnomes? Dwarves who run the banking system?

2) Unlike, say, the Forgotten Realms, there isn't a vast set of lore to the game, so the learning curve for a GM is reduced somewhat. (And it's possible to be a completist without spending an arm and a leg.)
