[QUOTE="AdmundfortGeographer, post: 2120903, member: 4682"] You mean the rational evil leaders aren't violating the "Evil Overlord" list? Gah! I like [i]Eberron[/i], but something I think it needed was more nations. I know Keith Baker offered more and it was edited down into the five we have. But it would have felt richer right from the start to have more. As a result, I'm waiting for more [i]Eberron[/i] sourcebooks before I think I can get an honest feel for the setting. What is out there now is too broadbrushy and thin for me to take the material confidently into a campaign. Something I think [i]Eberron[/i] could use is a product, make it a few hundred pages, of nothing but sites to adventure in, ready to go for the time-crunched DM to pick up and wing a one-shot adventure night. Set them all over the continent, over the planet, across the planes. Now that we have the core campaign setting book something like the old "[i]Book of Lairs[/i]" type accessories, but for [i]Eberron[/i], a new one every year or a single one three times as thick, would be exactly what is called for... got sidetracked... oops... The setting that tops my charts of settings I want to like is [i]Fading Suns[/i]. I have nearly every D20 book published for it. I love everything. But it feels to me that it would make a betting TV series on SciFi or anime series than a roleplaying setting. Getting it to work as a roleplaying setting is something I'm having trouble with despite my enjoyment of it. Regards, Eric Anondson [/QUOTE]
