D&D General What do you like about Eberron?

[MarkB]

Eberron's unique planar cosmology also appeals to me. I like the idea that it's not assumed to be part of a wider multiverse, and having the planes "orbit" the material plane in such a way that their effects can be more keenly felt upon the world at certain times opens up new possibilities for DMs and makes them feel more relevant even to a low level campaign.

Why everyone else said. Maybe my meta-favorite thing is that there’s no presence of medievalism - it’s unabashedly fantasy with more modern touchstones. I’m good with that.

Eberron is what our Industrial Age would have looked like if it went magictech.

I think the most interesting thing about the advancements in Eberron is that they were specifically driven by a century of war. So there are lots of weapons and logistics systems, but many people are still trying to hold on to their traditional ways of living. You have a anachronistic setting on purpose, where certain countries and certain parts of life have "advanced" at different rates -- which is something you see a lot in our own world as cultures of different technological levels come into contact.
