Eberron in 5 Minutes! Dungeons & Dragons Setting Guide 

Absolutely! The official setting using Arcane Steampunk is awesome and you’re not wrong about the factions either! Makes political play and consequence highly entertaining for everyone -Jay

Totally understand! Keith actually used that as his description when submitting it to the contest he entered (I added the dystopian Mad Max). I think he meant less about the time period and more about the general feel and low magic “there’s no longer a spell for everything” concepts but you make great points! I’m a fan too! -Jay

@@NorseFoundry as a player that will probably use this if I ever do will probe use this as a foundation for my own campaign. I will probably run it like a post Europe ww1 style of world. Ruined by war but its people spirit are strong and sees this as a world that now can be rebuild where what was ones wrong can be set right. where the saying was to fix this problem would require rebuilding the whole thing from scratch... well there was nothing left of the old so about that lets do just that lets rebuld it from scratch... the player jobs are to make sure the same mistake does not happen again, find old artifacts that was lost in the war, find the Shadow figure that some says was the cause of the great war it self. an early quest might be to get a water aqueduct working again, so that the farm might flourish. deal whit racketeers that prey on the refugees. unit long lost families. and so on... heck I might not even have a real big bad except for the shadows or whats left of it or more correct making sure that the shadows don't just slink away whit the gold, power or what it now was that they was after.

DDO is the best D&D game utilizing this great setting

This is why we do it! That means that you can then dig into the deeper plot points and politics of Eberron as the GM but your players will have enough base knowledge! Really appreciate your words.

Awesome! That’s why we do it!

Have fun! 25 year DM and player here and Eberron is my favorite setting

That’s exactly what we’re doing! -Jay

Yes! I love the spin on Orcs and Elves! -Jay

The Cold War and threat of nuclear war is pretty bleak if you ask me 🤣

Awesome! This is exactly why we put it together!

Love this! Reminds me of Bastion from Overwatch!

OO-la-la! That sounds awesome

Thank you! Dragonlance IS on the list 😉 I’m trying to keep my explanations short and to the point for people to get a feel for a subject and also not to overwhelm beginners -Jay

Dark Sun is on our list too!

There’s many angles to take and lots of lore and hooks to plug in! The hardest part is deciding which 🤔

Im curious to know where you started the game. :)

Intrigue!!

That’s awesome! I hope this was a great overview before you deep dive!

Yeah! Had to pick and choose to give an overview! 5 minutes is not long haha. Great points though.

Haha it’s easy to become obsessed with it 👀

Ahhh that’s awesome! You should check out the artificer subclasses in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything!

@NorseFoundry I've played the alchemist artificer briefly as a DMPC and there is an armorer in an adventure I'm running off and on.

It’s such a massive undertaking to cover the entire setting! You’re probably right. My intent was to highlight a lot of things that make it completely different to other settings but I know I only skimmed the surface.

Yep! Almost like a Paladin's oath

Hey! If you own the book, there’s a 1st level adventure included set in Sharn. This should give you a good jumping off point for any campaign you want to run. You could also search out what you need here: www.adventurelookup.com/adventures/ if you want something completely prewritten 😁 hope this helps!

It’s not for everyone and I’m glad you found a more representative setting to play in!

That’s the great thing about D&D; you can include or remove anything from your game to make it what you most enjoy!
