[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 9832746, member: 6716779"] Eberron run as kitchen sink anything goes doesnt interest me. I may add 1-2 other races but probably not. Takes focus away from thongs that do interest me about Eberron. Bit more context. I had 3 groups 2024. Invited the wrong people into one and another group had to players that were fine individually but not togather. They ended up annoying me, offending tge wife and annoying my veterans. Combination of different playstyles, personality clashes. Basically they were all goofing off. Nothing wrong with that by itself but it was the the vibe. They all has conflicting desires. One wanted to change the hours. Another wanted a new venue, another was a roll player vs a role player. Individually thry were all fine not togather. I ended up closing two groups down, cherry picked the ones that had potential and recruited newbies. It was more fun playing with newbies. One players advice. If youre not having fun why bother. I was running a democracy but the problem was the people who got out voted tended to leave (Magitech vs Norse finalists). So rather than let them pick from 5 options run 1 option you like and recruit appropriate players. Enthusiastic players and DM tops specific styles, settings etc. Players who pick random crap the do random crap to the extent they're annoying everyone else 🙄 Incompatible desires. Cant please everyone waste of time trying. [/QUOTE]
