[QUOTE="Rel, post: 1915150, member: 99"] Yeah, read that thread, agreed with your sentiments and didn't feel the need for a "me too" post. Having given the matter a bit more thought as I drove to and from my job today, I think that what I'm seeing is that I can just leave Eberron alone and play out any themes that I like from Jhereg within the setting as is. While I really like the setting of Dragaera and do promise to grab any d20 (or other system) sourcebook based around it, I would probably make the best use of it under conditions similar to those of the Jhereg novels (i.e. character(s) working their way up through the ranks of a criminal organization). The nice thing about Eberron is that if the players make those sorts of characters then I can make use of a lot of the same themes and plots from Jhereg without having to change much. If they make characters that are totally different then I can go in other directions to accomodate that. And, Turhan, I guess you can chalk me up as another rabid Brust fan. As it happens, the character I'm currently playing in a Mage: Dark Ages was inspired by the title character from the book [i]Gypsy[/i]. And I even based a lot of his background on some of the songs Brust used in that book (recorded by his band [i]Boiled in Lead[/i]). I've read some of his livejournal stuff and he seems like the kind of guy who I would really just love to have a beer with. Very down to earth. As a final comment, Henry, you REALLY need to read at least the first book! Unless you vehemently object, I'm giving you a copy when I see you at NC Game Day. Consider it a late Christmas gift.
