I have been really excited about Eberron. When I first heard about it, it was leary and didn't think too much of it. But, I read some stuff on the wizards website and thumbed through the book at the local game store. The thing is, I have no where to play it. I have some friends here that got me into playing D&D, but they have gotten really busy with school and stuff and we try to run a PBEM game, which is fun. But, I am sure they don't want to start an Eberron campaign.

So, I was wondering if there is any tips out there for starting a game (preferably through email or some forum) or joining one. I haven't bought the Eberron book yet, but am planning on it once I have a need for one, which I hope is soon.

Hey, I am one of those people that are looking for an online Eberron group as well. Play by forum, mostly. My community is devoid of D&D players, and I'd rather play from the computer anyway. Also, is there such Eberron play by forum groups that also favor good roleplaying? That's a little much to ask for, but, hey, I've read the entire book and I want to start playing.

FUEGO!

Sorry.

I'd happily join an online Eberron game. The interface I most prefer would be chat. A good place is the Eberron chatroom (shock!) at psionics.net (channel #eberron).

shadowland (www.shadowland.org) is a roleplaying site with lots of built-in features, including a die roller and the ability to create multiple names under the same account for posting with different characters. we don't have an Eberron game on our D&D side, but i wouldn't mind trying to get one going.

Roleplay Online (http://www.rpol.net) is one medium I've used.

Roleplay Online (http://www.rpol.net) is one medium I've used.Seconded, RPOL is the best place around for online D&D games of any kind. I'm in over a half dozen games there as I type (its actually open in another window so I can keep an eye on it).

Roleplay Online gets another vote from me. It has a lot of tools specially designed for gaming. I was impressed when I first saw how it was set up. There are a number of Eberron games going on already, just see if you can find one with an opening.

nix that last post of mine; i've started an Eberron campaign at Shadowland (www.shadowland.org). the main page for the campaign is here (http://www.shadowland.org/Planescape/Private%20Campaigns/objects/page4573.html), though you'll have to actually login to the site to do any posting.

we've got three slots filled--a warforged scout, a warforged rogue/swashbuckler, and a human artificer. looking for a fourth and maybe a fifth player, if anyone's interested.

Check out the Real Roleplay (http://boards1.wizards.com/forumdisplay.php?daysprune=30&f=278) board on these very forums - there are usually several games starting up, and there's currently at least one Eberron campaign that's accepting new players.

hm. both rponline and the real roleplay forums seem interesting; i might give 'em a try, at some point. i like shadowland's user interface a bit better, though it does have a few glitches.
