[QUOTE="Rel, post: 1914328, member: 99"] I've reached the conclusion that I'm very muddled on exactly what I'm looking to accomplish here. This isn't a huge problem since I'm in no danger of starting up a campaign in the immediate future (I've probably got at least 3-4 months before that happens, maybe longer). What I observed was that there are a lot of similarities between the world of Eberron and that of Jhereg, primarily in themes. The way the Jhereg novels are written is in that "first-person, gumshoe detective" style that brings to mind a lot of the film-noir stuff that Eberron hopes to emulate. Both also have a supported system of stereotypes in the form of the Houses and the intrigue between these houses and their members can be a source of conflict. And, as I've pointed out, both have a modern/urban feel to them thanks in part to the magic that pervades both worlds. The trick is that I'm not sure where this leaves me. If somebody put out a d20 Jhereg sourcebook then I'd snap it up in a minute. But this is not likely to happen, at least in the near future (though I'd honestly be surprised if nobody has contacted Mr. Brust about this - he used to be a gamer and it was from these games that Vlad and the world around him initially came). It is obvious to me that I could run similar kinds of adventures in Eberron as I could in a "World of Dragaera" setting. A big part of that will hinge on the number and types of PC's though. So I guess that I'm left wondering if I want to try and "Jheregize" the world of Eberron at all or just appreciate that they have some similarities and leave it at that. Thus the "brainstormy" nature of this thread. Sorry I'm not offering much in the way of guidance on its direction but I appreciate what has been posted and I'm still hoping that something will jump out and grab me to put an end to the wishy-washy feelings I'm having. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
