What's Eberron creator Keith Baker up to? Quite a lot, as it happens! Q&As about dragon marks, news on his new card based roleplaying game Phoenix: Dawn Command, conventions, and podcasts. Plus, of course, the big question - Eberron in 5E? He says "I still don't have any news about official Eberron content, other than that I am still talking with WotC about it and that I do believe it will happen (though I don't know what form it will take). Progress is slow, but it's still progress."
Here it is, all in his own words!
Hey Everyone!
2015 has been a very busy year for me, so I haven't been checking the board as often as I used to. I just wanted to let you know what's going on in the World of Hellcow.
Dragonmark Q&As. I just posted a new Q&A on my website (Keith-Baker.com), which discusses the curses of Xen'drik, the origins of the Kalashtar, non-Kalashtar quori-themed warlocks, and lots and lots of Thrane/Flame issues. I hope to be posting a Q&A at least every 3-4 weeks. If you have a question you want my opinion on, your best bet is to email me through the contact link on the website.

Phoenix: Dawn Command. One reason I haven't been on the forums as often is because I'm busy working on a new roleplaying game, which I'll be taking to kickstarter next month. Phoenix: Dawn Command is a card-based roleplaying game in which character death is an integral part of the story; death is actually how you grow stronger, though there are limits on how many times you can return. While Phoenix is a card-based system, it is a traditional roleplaying game as opposed to, say, the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. Here's a link to one of my recent posts about Phoenix; if you're interested in hearing more, sign up for the mailing list here.
Conventions. I'll be at Gamestorm in PDX March 20-22nd and at Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle March 27-30th, doing demos and talking about Eberron, Phoenix and Gloom. I'll post more details at my website.
Podcast. For the last 15 years I've had a weekly phonecall with Fluxx designer Andrew Looney, and just recently we decided to start recording our calls so other folks can listen in. I can't promise you'll find it interesting - it is literally just our weekly catch-up call - but feel free to check it out and see for yourself!
Hellcow out!
