WotC setting search winner - Eberron

IMO no, but no one asked me ...

Sorry, forgot to hit quote instead of reply -- that is in response to a post on page 2...

Thanks, BG! I'm getting a little more excited about this setting that more I hear!

Saying this is the new "main" setting for D&D just doesn't sit well with me, and I don't care how you spin spin the steampunk/dino stuff.

Who said this was going to be the main setting ? Not saying it wasn't said, I'm just wondering if you could link to a quote or press release.

I was very sceptical when I first read the info on gaming report, but I decided I would hold judgement until I have the book in my hands.....

Then I saw a link to the artwork, and that made the whole thing sit a bit better with me.....again, we'll see when we know more.

Dinosaurs and Industrial stuff. Two things that will never see the light of day in my campaign.

Congrats to the winner for earning the $120,000. Shame on WotC for picking such an odd (but probably well done) world.

It looks like an entire world waiting to be explored! Gee, just what I want in a campaign setting. There is a city of towers, very neat looking flying ships, aztecs, barren wastelands. It would be impossible to convey all of this in the little blurb gaming report gave us. I have to agree with others who have said that the negative responses are a result of gaming report's poor coverage, not a poor job at all!

And therefore everyone else is wrong

Actually Emiricol, I was simply showing that the gaming report preview is subject to more than one valid interpretation. You read it and fell that Eberron will suck. I read it and think that Eberron sounds intriguing. That's all.

I've got to say that everyone's jumping on the Dinosaur thing. I don't really get the impression that dinosaurs are the center of the campaign. From what I've read here, it's more like here's this great world with all this stuff. Oh, and by the way, out there in the dark depths of the jungle of doom, there be dinosaurs.

If it wasn't for the dinosaurs, I would be all over a Magic-Is-Technology setting... It's a setting I've wanted to see for a while (And I generaly hate High Magic worlds)...

But Dinosaurs? Blech. I'll see how intergrated they are into the setting... If it's just a "They exist in some places thing", cool... They just wont exist for me. If they play some special roll... no thanks.

WotC may fear that if they give out too many details, someone would copy them and get it out faster. They might be right.

You are correct.

Change that to "WOTC does fear that if they give out too many details, a d20 company will copy them and produce something similar faster."

I'm paraphrasing, but Bill Slaviscek said as much at the seminar when talking about why they weren't releasing too much info.

I was amused by this. No d20 company in their right mind will try to put out a setting that directly competes with one of WOTC's flagship settings. I'd rather find my own niche. Of course, there are d20 companies that aren't in their right mind, so maybe he's got a point.
