Message: <blockquote data-quote="SSquirrel" data-source="post: 4061891" data-attributes="member: 5202">We own a few of the Eberron books besides the ones that Keith wrote, but my wife wasn't very impressed by them and that has made me less worried about getting to them anytime soon.  We both enjoyed Keith's trilogy tho, good stuff man.I voted for Eberron (Ptolus is out after all) if for no other reason than this is truly a game that comes from us.  The little people who play D&D.  I said when my wife and I entered that even if we didn't win (we didn't even place, but the brainstorming was lots of fun) we definitely needed to pick up the eventual winner's book.  It was definitely NOT the angle I expected things to go and I liked it.  There is an old Dragon from the later 2E days that had a great article about the impact of magic on D&D society and I always wondered why it was never given any real nod in the game itself.  Step forward several years and see settings like Ptolus and Eberron, embracing the edition fully, not hand-waving the effects of magic on society, things followed to logical conclusions (or just being "D&D turned up to 11!" as Monte claimed).3E and the games of it I played w/friends got me re-energized in D&D, but they also burnt me out to be re-invigorated again by Arcana Unearthed being released.  The D&D contest was also a very cool thing, reading updates on things daily here on ENWorld, wondering who would be the eventual winners.  I have yet to ever actually play a game set in Eberron, but I own the core book and Sharn (plus, free music cd is always good) and enjoy them a lot.Thanks for the hard work Keith and I'm glad to see that work is going into the 4E Eberron.  Personally I thought the complaints from moving the timeline forward a whole 2 years was a smidge silly of people, but hey, ya gotta have yr baby sometimes right?Pathfinder hasn't interested me from Day 1 and UA is nifty, but I remember seeing several house rules in it that were pretty much what my friends and I had already come up with, so large parts of the book were just not needed for me.  I'm glad the toolbox exists and puts so much information into the OGC pool, I just prefer a well polished setting.</blockquote>
