WotC setting search winner - Eberron

[Hecatol]

Gaming Report has put up some details about the WotC setting search winner:

GamingReport

Quick highlights:

- It is described as having a 'magically industrial edge'

- Includes cultures such as gnomes, dwarves, orcs and drow, plus new races called shifters and changelings. No mention of elves?

- Dinosaurs and other lost-world creatures are also present.

- The setting uses d20 Modern's Action Point system.

After reading that article, I think I'll pass.

Industrial feel AND Dinosaurs? Doesn't seem to leave much room for Psionics as the speculation went...

very interesting...

Uh. No thank you. Next please.

The inclusion of 'trains and flying machines' has me feeling lukewarm about this. Sounds a bit like Warcraft, which I'm not a big fan of.

**BUZZ**

Thank you for not playing

This one sounds pretty ... vague...

Cadillacs & Dinosaurs with the addition of "unique cultures" like... Dwarves!

It sounds like a final fantasy game clone and not the best one ever at that.

I should know I submitted one too

Seriously though I'll wait for reviews first, I find it very hard to imagine tht after all that fuss it would be poor, and in fairness the writer must be good. (one would hope)

Industry and dinosaurs? Sounds like The Flintstones.

Industry and dinosaurs? Sounds like The Flintstones.

And swashbuckling! Don't forget that!

My personal feeling is that this will either take off like a rocket or sink like a stone. I'm not seeing much of a middle ground from here.
