Now, this article is not specifically listed as being Eberron. However, it does include an artificer. What I found interesting was the fact that it showed an artificer interacting with characters that WotC had created as iconic characters for D&D.

Anyone else's thoughts on the article?

Anyone else's thoughts on the article?It's a "green" article: that means it's an Eberron article.

It also mentioned the deity Onatar, an Eberron-only god. :) Even the adventure hooks mention a warforged.

I think this will be a fun series (looks like it's meant to be a 14-part article, so 14 different neat items).

Curiouser and Curiouser.

I wonder what country Regdar fought for during the Last War, and what Mialee would say if she met her great-great-great-great-dead-grandfather in Aerenal? :D

Sean did some early Eberron stuff (for the website).

I was wondering since Wolfgang's Open Design Project touches on clockwork stuff (the patron only adventure is "Steam & Brass"). I don't remember him mentioning this on that website.

09-27-06, 02:32 AM To clarify my original post, I swear it said Sean K. Reynold's name in the article credits when the article first went up, and only now says Wolfgang Baur's name.

I don't know who Wolfgang is, so I still stand by my original post.

I just wanted to assure myself that I am not crazy.

You are entirely, 100 percent correct. It did say Sean K. Reynold's at first. Now it doesn't.

Actually, I'm not sure I really like clockwork stuff in Eberron, to be honest. Why make little clockwork dealies when I can just use animate objects?

*shrug* Willing to give it a shot, but the first bit didn't really strike me as all that cool.

Cheers,
