[QUOTE="Hellcow, post: 1275596, member: 15800"] Actually, you couldn't be more wrong here, but I suppose it's not fair of me to say things like this until more information is actually revealed. So speculate away. But believe it or not, we are actually trying keep some of the thought-provoking stuff as well. :) Pulp is black and white, but noir is all about shades of gray, and Eberron embraces both. As for "buying D20 Modern for the tech", you wouldn't find much overlap. The goal is to look at ways that the existing arcane magic from the core D&D books could be incorporated into society, and everything is rooted in the magic from the core books. There may be forms of magic weaponry, transportation, or communication, but it's not simply a matter of saying "You've got a gun, a car, and a cell phone, but they're [i]magic[/i]." It's still swords & sorcery, not guns & sorcery - it's just a different approach with a different tone. But all of this will become clear in days to come. And of course, none of this means that you will like it - no game will make everyone happy. But it's not the game you currently think it is, so there's always a chance. Anyhow, I must go back to lurking & working. I'm glad to see that there is interest in the setting - be it positive or negative - and I look forward to being able to say more as additional information is revealed! -Keith [/QUOTE]
