[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 7715718, member: 907"] IMO, neither Tyranny of Dragons, Out of the Abyss, nor Storm King's Thunder would work well in Eberron. I mean, you could squeeze them in, but they'd be poor fits. Tyranny of Dragons relies on having a relatively large number of evil/chromatic dragons working together with a cult to summon a deity. In Eberron, dragons are mostly off on a different continent, mainly focused on interpreting the snippets of prophecy that show itself in the world, and are not alignment-coded by color. Sure, there are renegade dragons (which is mostly a nod so you can justify adventures with random dragons in them, like the Sunless Citadel), but rarely organized like this. Out of the Abyss is heavily based around both drow (which are very different in Eberron, and generally surface-dwelling on a different continent rather than underdark-dwelling) and demon lords. "Traditional" demon lords in Eberron are mostly off on their own planes, not too bothered with the goings-on on the Material Plane, and fiendish Overlords birthed by the primordial dragon Khyber at the dawn of time tend to me more conceptual than physical, like the ones in OotA. Storm King's Thunder has giants roaming across the land, seeking to rearrange the Ordning. Again, Eberron giants are mostly off on their own continent (the same as the drow), and there's no Ordning to rearrange. [/QUOTE]
