Message: <blockquote data-quote="Trickstergod" data-source="post: 1872156" data-attributes="member: 10825">Eberron could be aptly described as a common magic, low power setting. Magic is abundant, but powerful NPC's are rare enough that cat's can be swung in the setting without smacking one. Spellcasters and non-spellcasters alike. One of the better things about it is that the rulers of its nations actually tend to be a reasonable level, rather than the ridiculous amounts of power they reach in some settings. The planar structure is also no less powerful than it is for any other setting. It simply presumes that Eberron is the center of things. Another plus, in my book. And Nightfall, hope's all well and good to hold on to, but, short of the Scarred Lands being licensed out to another company, I don't see White Wolf or any of its other companies ever bothering with it on a major scale again. And in regards to it being licensed, I don't see the Scarred Lands to be a valuable enough commodity for another company to bother with it. Campaign settings are risky enough and the added cost of licensing a shakey line like the Scarred Lands, which lacks the name recognition of Dragonlance or Ravenloft or Conan or what not, makes it seem an unlikely prospect that anyone else will ever pick the Scarred Lands up. At best, I can see more Relics and Rituals and Creature Collection books coming out for it, but these wouldn't be setting books with spells and monsters, they'd be monster and spell books with some setting attached. Even then, I wouldn't see them being marketed as Scarred Lands books, no more than the first Creature Collection or Relics and Rituals were.</blockquote>
