[QUOTE="Incenjucar, post: 1697378, member: 6182"] Nisarg is merely saying that, while Eberron is open to all people, and that any sector could, potentially, find enjoyment in it, it is particularly likely to do so for a certain sector. It's like My Little Pony; it's made for kids, but there's a creepy number of adults that make it their main form of entertainment (I kid you not, I used to know one, and she once showed me an ebay listing where someone's selling a bunch of MLP heads, because people like to mix and match). Video games work the same way; Planescape: Torment was primarily for (people who thought supernatural angst or the planes were cool for an RPG (or something like that, I enjoyed it, either way), but it also worked for people with twisted senses of humor, people who like wordy games, and people who like to beat the snot out of things. It worked well for teenagers and adults alike, but it was primarily for older teens, rather than grandpas or 13 year olds. Heck, look at the demographics for Poke`mon. There's no shame in being affiliated with something designed for a different demographic, so relax already. -- Eberron isn't ultra tech, it's more like FF7, where they use magic (or mako) as an energy source for tech rather than steam, combusttion, and electricity, albeit primarily via trapping elementals. Did I mention that Eberron is on a fast route to being absorbed by Ravenloft since they even shove elementals in to their weapons and armor? -- If you have an issue with intellectuals, well, you have an issue.

The average intellectual is just a normal person who considers thinking a form of entertainment.
