When i read the intro the image from some game art i picked up at a convention popped into my head. There was an orc wearing a WW2 Nazi helmet and uniform and grinning evilly. I assumed the worst and thought that Orcs would be the jackbooted thugs of Eberron. I am glad that they are not, gives you the chance to do something different and possibly fun. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I also think that I see now how Eberron's tone will be adaptable to any style of play. Dungeon Diving will be in there. While GMs who do groups running around cities (like myself) interacting with the citizenry will find plenty to like in Eberron.As far as buying it, If I am intrigued enough by the artwork, I just might. I find that I am a little to creative to be restricted to a published setting. Usually I just mine the setting for whatever crunchy bits I like and just incorporate them into my home game. Eberron will have bits in there for that, I am sure. Depends on the cover price and the niceness of the artwork as for whether I will put it on my buy list.The teenybopper comment was meant as a decry against a trend in media nowadays to make everything cinematic and "like a movie". Do not get the wrong impression here, I love John Woo style action. But I am really tired of when writers make their books and stories like a movie script. Case in point is the Kevin Anderson and Brian Herbert Dune prequels, they write like they are more worried about how much the movie option will sell for instead of the how well they are following Frank's style and thematics. This was not meant as a blast against Eberron directly.I wish you were writing more of the marketing coming from WotC, the marketing peeps up there just seem to get it backwards because they want to be leading yet not revealing, and just end up making a mess of things.</blockquote>
