There are some things I'm reading I REALLY like, and others that are very opposite my tastes.I don't necc see it as Fantasy Supers ala Exalted (which when it first appeared, I bought, liked and even ran a few sessions, knowing exactly what it was...Glorantha on Steroids), but I guess it boils down to: I like my D&D to more "classic" and less over the top. I feel like I'd REALLY have to change alot of things to my tastes, and then I'm not sure what the point would be in running it. While it seems to be touted as "ALL THINGS D&D WILL WORK HERE" (in Eberron), I think " ALL THINGS 3.X D&D WILL WORK HERE" is more apt. It's like taking 3.5 and cranking up the volume. I just can't see a Keep on the Borderlands, or Against the Giants or what have you in Eberron. Eberron is a fantasy version of the 1930s...with magical technology instead of industrial technology. It's more Star Wars than D&D. Not necc a bad thing, just I'd rather run a pulp game of some sort or Star Wars if thats what I'm looking for.That said, excellent product with a TON of great ideas and themes...great for idea mining and stealing as someone else mentioned, and I'm enjoying the read despite my criticisms.  Kudos to Mr. Baker and the Eberron team for a very different take on D&D.</blockquote>
