Aug 19, 2012 16:04:19 Taking into account that WoTC will sell all previous DnD products in an electronic format, and that Eberron and 2E are my favorite setting and system, respectively, I plan to buy all Eberron products and play with them using 2E (before dndnext, which seems promising). I was wondering if anyone has played in Eberron using 2E or has advice for doing so. I read that Spells and Magic for 2E has information on artificers (which differ somewhat from Eberron's but may be usable nonetheless); and also think that Birthright's bloodline rules for powers of scions may be used in relation to dragonmarks. Any other experiences or ideas?

I liked 2nd edition, but was really happy to move to 3rd when that came out. Though I still can't get into 4e. The idea of engineering Eberron back to AD&D just scares me.
For you, good luck. I think your a braver soul than I.

I intend to buy all electronic Eberron products and use them with 2e (given some broad similarities between 2e and 3e and the prevalence of fluff in Eberron products this may be possible).
