Don't we all want these items. I'm hoping the fan base for Eberron will grow large enough that Wizards notice the huge amount of people ups the antiy on creation of Eberron books. Ofcourse they can only do so much. The other thign which has been discussed at great length by the boardies here is the idea of one heck of kick-butt DM screen for Eberron.

11-14-04, 10:54 AM A book for EACH nation? Thats gonna be expensive.
I would much rather have it like this:

Khovaire Source Book (The whole of Khovaire) - Maybe have to books: Civilized Khovaire and Savage Khovaire. But i for one won't buy a book for every single nation of Khovaire!

Beyond Khovaire - Aerinal, Salorna, Argonesson, Xen'Drik and so on, though Xen'Drik and Argonesson probably won't have much info, since Argonesseon is ment to be secret and mysterious and Xen'Drik is ment as a Playground for the DM.

I don't think we need a Bestiary for Eberron, we already have Fiend Folio 1+2 and MM1,2,3. Thats more then enough.

Races of Eberron - Well yeah, we all need that one :D
Magic of Eberron? Don't really see the point of that one. What did you have in mind?

I would like to see a book about the various religions of Khovaire, with more info on the gods and its followers. Some prestige classes, and lots of legends and myths.

11-14-04, 01:47 PM I'd love to have a litte more info on Argonesson. I know that's it's meant to be mystery and all, but I'm still curious. Mainly because while I run Eberron fairly close to the ECS, I believing in making changes to suit your and your players personal tastes. It makes it more fun that way. I'e had DMs who had lists of the avaliable classes and PrCs in their world and would never work with you if you wanted to play something else, which sucked. My main need for Argonesson info is that a player of mine wants to play a Dragoon. I saw this as an awesome way to really to the Eberron thing and make him a hero and a legend. So I designed the PrC, and the RPing Requirement is that he travel to Argonesson and train under a dragon. So, he's going to have to go to Argonesson eventually, and I have a cool adventure planned for him, I still plan to not even let him scratch the surface of Argonesson, but I'd like to make sure I'm not making any giant mistakes, and a source book would help with that.

11-14-04, 02:11 PM Magic of Eberron? Don't really see the point of that one. What did you have in mind?

There is a lot that can go in here. For artificers you could have new infusions and perhaps a mechanic for learning new ones if balance seems to be an issue and new constructs and homonculi (we are missing one that was obvioiusly designed for Sharn). For divine & arcane casters you would have new spells, magic items, etc. focusing on campaign flavor. You would certainly have focus on dragonmarks, perhaps giving more options to the more ignored dragonmarks (from a magic item standpoint).

Plus, that's just from a "crunch" standpoint. There are a number of magical organizations that have barely been touched, more detail could be given on them. More organizations certainly exist, and some could be focused on these. Information on how each area deals with magic, too.

Another thing that could be covered would be more information on the various planes. Although this could be enough information for a separate book, I don't see the interest being high enough for it to be profitable. A little more could be given than in the ECS, details of what the planes look like when you're there, more coverage of manifest zones in Eberron and their effects, etc.

As for areas of Eberron, I think the other continents probably merit a book on themselves. I know Sarlona could easily be given a sourcebook of its own. It also probably should, so those who want to avoid psionics can completely skip it, instead of having it forced into a general "outside Khourvaire" sourcebook.

11-14-04, 02:13 PM OKey, yeah, i would buy that one i guess.

11-14-04, 03:41 PM Instead of a Magic of Eberron what about a "Magic & Materials" of Eberron that would showcase magic, the schools, artifice and the tech that goes with it all?

11-14-04, 06:40 PM I've seen something like Races of Eberron on Amazon.de, but I don't know when it will be available. Of course I would love to see such a book, especially since races like orcs, goblins or bugbears make fine PCs on Eberron in contrast to there counterparts on other worlds. I'd really like to see some subraces, like an orc-race that is not as strong as a common orc but has no penalty on intelligence and wisdom (and thus makes a good gatekeeper druid...) or some clever goblins with artificer as their favored class or dwarves that are better at social interaction (as bankers they should be) but are not as tough or have special training at fighting orcs (their is no reason in Eberron's history why they hate orcs, so the standard bonus for fighting orcs is some kind of illogic.)

in the Mror holds history in the eberron source book its says the dwarves have been fighting the Jhorash'tar orcs as well as each other for thousands of years every since the dwarfs moved into the mountain range displacing the orcs.

I would also love to see source books on the individual kingdoms.
the races of eberron sourcebook comes out in april 2005 heres a link.

11-14-04, 10:58 PM If they make books based on the contries of Khorvaire, they should break them into geographic regions- say, do a "Aundair, Eldeen Reaches, Demon Wastes, and Shadow Marches" book, and a "Breland, Zilargo, and Darguun" book, etc. As for the other continents, I think Xen'drik should come first, followed by Sarlona.

As much as I'd like to see one, I don't think we'll ever know about Argonessen. And that's just the way they want it. They may cover some small sections in a regional book, but we'll never get any in-depth information regarding the continent of the dragons. Though here's an official leak from Wizards: the Chamber's top-secret mountain stronghold is located just south of the strip mall. Take the Interstate until you hit Exit 47, go behind the thrift store, and look under the dumpster. The secret entrance is cleverly concealed by a puddle of trash runoff (Spot DC 30).

11-15-04, 04:17 AM According to Amazon, a book entitled "Five Nations" will be published by WotC in early July 2005. Linky-linky! (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0786936908/qid=1100469169/sr=1-22/ref=sr_1_22/103-6885822-2610254?v=glance&s=books) On the following month, there's an Eberron DM's screen. And then, another month after, Eberron character sheets.

In the other Summer 2005 products, there's one FR book (on Waterdeep), two Miniatures products, and the rest seems generic.

11-15-04, 04:45 AM A source book for every nation and region is wasteful and reminiscent of TSR (and FR). I could live with two source books for the main continent ( although one would be preferable) and one of the other regions. Take Sharn as the example. Thats a lot of information for one city but its still vague enough to allow creativity on both the DMs and Players parts. A book for each nation would be either to much or to little (like Sword and Fist style books).

I haven't even gotten the Fiend folios or MM3 so an exclusive Eberron bestiary is out of the question. Its much better if material like monsters is handled by Core D&D.

Agreed Bubba333, a "Magic & Materials" book would be better then just the magic. Although it would be nice to see a "Complete Armory" after the publication of the Complete books, Environment books, Race books, Eberron Setting books, and Monster books. Just to get all those items and special weapons back in one spot for easy use. ( *sob* its the encyclopedias of magic all over again ) For an Eberron book of that type I'd say wait until the rest have been done, and some Dragon and Dungeon magazine articles.

At the top of my wish-list however is a nice solid Errata for the ECS. :rant: Mainly just for clarification and intent behind some rules (like Changelings and Juggernauts ).
