[QUOTE="rounser, post: 4815566, member: 1106"] Not impressed. Nothing interesting here yet. And nostalgia aside, Eberron is aesthetically unappealing to me, from the art direction to the anachronisms to the "attitude" to the wannabe-another-genreisms to the kitchen sinking to the wahoo PC races to the dragon-everything to the thematic incoherence. Doesn't matter how powerful or not. Magic shouldn't be an everyday thing, integrated into society, if you want it to stay magical. It's completely missing the point, unless you want some weird flying carpet postal service setting. (Maybe another reason I find eberron deeply uninteresting is that some of it reminds me of a homebrew I did i high school, complete with "scourgelands" [sort of nuclear fallout-esque dark magic regions that are the aftermath of a war, can't sustain life, and keep growing] and even warforged analogs, although mine were magically genetically engineered mongol clones originally used as an army, but since "programmed" by their culture and tradition to hide and protect the fell artifacts that were used to create the scourgelands. Nothing new under the sun.) [/QUOTE]
