jaults said:I paged through Sharn: City of Towers at the book store, and it looked pretty cool. But I'd like a reccomendation from someone who's read it in a bit more depth than that. Is it useful to those of us not playing an Eberron camapign?
Thanks,
Jason

Each city has wonders and horrors that differentiate it from all others.

Yeah, he really showed me...Psion said:He's got you there. That sounds just a teensy bit knee-jerk.![]()

Tell you what if I read the whole thing and find an inn where you can have yourself lowered down to Undermountain or whatever Sharn has for its great big dungeon under the city I'm going to do more than jerk a knee. Probably have a stroke.
Psion said:nor do I recall hearing that sharn was ruled by a council or nobles that keep their real identity hidden.
I hope so, since I'm likely going to buy it today - I'm hoping to be able to adapt it to the Forgotten Realms, and insert it in the country Halruaa.jaults said:Is it useful to those of us not playing an Eberron camapign?
Wish I knew what Waterdeep you're talking about.Sorren said:It's not like Waterdeep where you can't throw a stick without hitting an epic level archmage.
He is correct about FR and Waterdeep having high level NPC's, not so much epic though that may be stretching it just a little. I'm thinking that there my be some good ideas in this book to leech over to my FR campaign but I just don't see the need to waste the money since the Waterdeep setting is coming in the summer.arnwyn said:Wish I knew what Waterdeep you're talking about.
Unless, of course, you're of the school of thought that all those high level NPCs themselves don't make sense...Mystery Man said:Why there are so few high level published NPC's in a city like Sharn makes not one bit of sense. I would have to make my own up, which is fun.

Just a little.Mystery Man said:not so much epic though that may be stretching it just a little.
I agree, given the very clear D&D demographics combined with the short amount of time it takes to level.Why there are so few high level published NPC's in a city like Sharn makes not one bit of sense.
