07-06-06, 06:28 PM I am going to be starting a fresh Eberron campaign in a month or so. I have the ECS book and a couple of Published monules. I have read the ECS back to front a couple times, so I am pretty set. I plan on starting them with some published modules and see how things go from there.

What I really need is some sort of primer for the Eberron setting. My players have none of the books, and really have no idea what Eberron is. We are all busy adults, so I know that they will not have the time, or interest in reading the CS book until they get in to the game. However I really think they need to have a crash course in the changes that Eberron has over a classic D&D setting. Has anyone compiled a quick Eberron primer? Neither are likely to look online at FAQ or anything like that. What I would like is something I could hand them and have them read and re-read before character creation. Two of them are long time veterans of D&D and many other games (20 years or so), and the third is my son. My son I can handle, the other two need some education.

It's fairly basic, but it serves as an intro.

that's not bad, and it is a whole lot more userfriendly than the FAQ. I actually found some good basic info on Wikipedia, and ahould have some more infor on the way via email. I will browse over it all soon and probably compile it based on my players.
