06-06-04, 10:45 AM Have you been able to add some of the new info from the "I Have It" thread to your site? I needed info on some of the DragonMarked Houses, but I'm not sure on what page it's buried and I'd rather beg than dig.

Any help is mucho appreciated!

06-06-04, 10:48 AM I don't have the book, but I do know a lot about the Dragonmarked Houses and the Organizations of Eberron. What are you looking for?

06-06-04, 10:50 AM Earlier, someong had listed all the Houses, what races they were comprised of, what their Mark was, etc. And like a fool, I said, "cool" and moved on. Now I'm designing NPCs for my Eberron campaign and it's biting me in the ass.

06-06-04, 10:58 AM That's more detailed than the one I'd seen earlier, thanks! Are those all the Houses? Or is there more you didn't have info on?
Takasi
06-06-04, 11:01 AM That's all folks!

13 Houses, 1 per Dragonmark with the Mark of Shadow shared by two elven Houses. The Mark of Death is...uh...dead, so no House.
N'wah
06-06-04, 11:04 AM Poor, poor Mark of Death. If I had known he'd gone the way of Reagan (is it too early to make that comment?), I would have gone to the funeral. ;)
Takasi
06-06-04, 11:08 AM Don't feel too bad. The Elves lost the Mark, but they get two houses.
N'wah
06-06-04, 11:16 AM Was it House Thuranni that lost it? I suppose so, though I probably wouldn't make fun of them for it if they're the assassin House.

Fred the Dumb: Hah hah, you lost a DragonMark!

Elfydoom, Assassin: Hey, it was a boating accident. Mention it again and it'll be the last thing you ever say.

Fred: Nuh-uh. I bet I could manage a wet gurgled scream.

Elfydoom: I'll take that bet. :: Slits Fred's Throat ::

Fred: :: wet gurgled scream ::

Elfydoom: Hmm... looks like I lose.

House Vol, bearer of the Mark of Death, was wiped out.
N'wah
06-06-04, 12:11 PM Ouch. Well, that must have been moderately unpleasant. Any chance of getting a brief synopsis of how it went down? :D

The elves of Aerenal and the dragons of Argonessen were waging war. House Vol and a green dragon wished for peace. An elf woman and the green dragon begat a half-dragon child, Erandis. The other elves and dragons did not like it. They slaughtered House Vol. Erandis d'Vol was the only survivor because her mother turned her into a lich. She is now known as Vol, Queen of the Dead. Her dragonmark no longer functions.

06-06-04, 01:58 PM She is now known as Vol, Queen of the Dead. Her dragonmark no longer functions.

But what does she care, she's got her own major religion after all :D

06-07-04, 12:06 PM Have you been able to add some of the new info from the "I Have It" thread to your site? I needed info on some of the DragonMarked Houses, but I'm not sure on what page it's buried and I'd rather beg than dig.Hi, N'wah! I hate to disappoint you, but I'm not actually going to collect much of the information from the "I Have It" thread on the Eberron Journal (http://www.coveworld.net/eberron/index2.html). First of all, I don't necessarily have the participants' permission. More importantly, the information there is already in the campaign setting book. In a couple of weeks, we'll all have the book. (And I certainly wouldn't want to make the site an alternative to geting the campaign setting book.)

Previously, the Eberron Journal has been focused on previewing Eberron. Starting this June, it will be focused on expanding the information available. I'll keep collecting relevant quotes from Keith Baker as "director's commentary"-style info, but the site will be increasingly focused on fan-created content. In addition to regular updates on pages like this, I'm busy working on a short adventure and some articles on how to use previous 3.5 sourcebook content in Eberron.

Thanks for the official permission, jedi8187. PM me your name, if you'd like, and I'll give you proper credit. I'll definitely use your ideas, though for consistency's sake, I'll be writing descriptions in my own words. I'm working on the CW PrCs right now, and I'll post some of my work on the PrCs thread later tonight.

Ok, the h/o thing-I'm just dislexic some times. And I didn't type that e, I swear.

I think I did some of the CW PrCs already, but if you have better ideas, feel free.

EDIT: Just tried PMing you and your box is full. Send me a PM when you clear it out.

06-08-04, 02:18 AM Didn' do that much fan content stuff tillnow, but I want to do more once I've read the CS. I'd love to see my stuff on your page, though I'd like to keep the proper wording. I'm going to rework some of the old 3.0 PRC's, not only by giving them a new background, but also some Eberron specific abilities, I'll soon make a thread about it.
