Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pseudopsyche" data-source="post: 4063123" data-attributes="member: 54600">I read the ECS cover to cover and loved it.  Eberron is my favorite campaign setting.  But I voted for Pathfinder anyway.  The reason is that I am trying to finish my PhD, and as a (slow, methodical, newbie) DM I don't have time to create adventures from whole cloth.  I treasure polished adventures and adventure paths that I can use as starting points in the design process.  For Eberron, the closest thing we have to an adventure path is STILL the original three WotC adventures (Shadows of the Last War, Whispers of the Vampire's Blade, Grasp of the Emerald Claw), after which you have to graft on Eyes of the Lich Queen or shift tone for Nic Logue's trilogy in Dungeon.  And those first three adventures really do not do the campaign setting justice.Many posts in this thread knock Pathfinder for being just an adventure.  For a busy 20-something like me, that's exactly what I need.  Paizo offered us not just any old adventure path, either.  They provided enough of their new campaign setting to give Rise of the Runelords flavor and texture, just the things that I valued most from Eberron.  (Clearly it's a different flavor and texture, but the point is that it gives the product something extra.)Long story short: I love the Eberron Campaign Setting, but right now I value good adventure paths more than good settings.  I hope that the new 4e license will allow companies besides WotC finally to try their hand at generating a library of good published adventure material.</blockquote>
