D&D 5E Tons of Exploring Eberron Previews

Exploring Eberron, the new sourcebook, is nearly here, and Keith Baker has been sharing previews! So many previews! Below are some of them, but if you check out Keith's InMyEberron Twitter stream and keep scrolling down, you'll find more, and more, and more!

This book is looking gorgeous. It will be arriving on DMs Guild soon.

I'm running Eberron's Oracle of War campaign and my players love it. It would be nice to expand the game beyond Mourningland / Breeland in our next campaign. Thanks Keith for such an awesome setting!

Looks good, I'll be buying it in hardback when it releases.

I hope it has the same feel as the original Eberron.

But I don't know.HOW you'd do Draconic, Undercommon, etc etc.

You could borrow some of the dragon linguistics from Skyrim. Undercommon could be based on Old English. Have it turn out to be based in the same roots as Common, and actually closer to those roots - it's the uncouth surface races who have twisted and debased it over the centuries.

Sexy, sexy, sexy. I swipe right. Or is it left? I've been out of the RPG dating scene for a while.

Seriously does anyone ever use the different made up languages?

Not only do I use these languages heavily in my campaign, if some enterprising conlang type decided to write up a product with common phrases, naming conventions, etc., for all the standard D&D races and the primary D&D monster civilizations (like the giants), I would buy it a heartbeat.

As it is, I've been using English to Klingon translators for Orcish, which works pretty well, but I'd much rather have a book I can have on my shelf and PDF library that stands alone.

EDIT: I also use this Thieves Cant PDF from DMs Guild at my table. My son, who plays a rogue, won't play without it. It's easy to use, you won't sound silly using it, and it rewards characters making Perception or Investigation checks to spot the communication.

is there a page count and chapter listing available yet?

Did you know that High Valerian is available on Duolingo? As is Klingon. I thought that was cool.

No chapter list AFAIK. One of the recent blog updates said it had grown to "over 240 pages in length" so it's a pretty hefty tome.

If this shows up on DnDBeyond then I might check out the character options, other than the few bits and pieces in this article, do we know what will be in the book?

Klingon I'm not surprised about. But High Valerian as well? Interesting.
