May 28, 2008 11:38:13 I know that several people have voiced their opinion's as to what the two boards should be, but I thought a thread dedicated to the subject would be better.

Personally I would like the Eberron boards;

People, Places & Organizations
General & Historical Concepts
Races & Monsters

May 28, 2008 12:12:30 Since we're unlikely to get three boards with our current amount of traffic, we should plan on only getting two. I'd advocate essentially a Crunch board, and Fluff board.

Feats, spells, monsters, classes, prc on one board, People, places, races, planes, organizations on the other.

May 28, 2008 15:45:52 Well, the way to get three boards would, IMO, be to get two as fluff/crunch, and then maintain the post rate they want to see in say the fluff board, and then bring the crunch board back up over 25-30 threads per day. That would then get the crunch board split up.

May 28, 2008 19:28:51 If we have 2 boards, I'd go with Edy, Crunch and Fluff.

If we have 3 boards, I'd say 4E Crunch, 3E Crunch, Fluff could be a good split.

That sounds good to me. Separate the boards for rules stuff, since 4th ed rules are not going to help me one bit. But regardless of the edition we can all use setting info and support.

It would also be useful when dealing with reconciling the two different 'interpretations' of Eberron, one from 3.5 and one from 4.

May 29, 2008 4:34:59 I'm all for the Fluff/Crunch split, too. How about:

Eberron: The Skyway - fluff
Eberron: The Cogs - crunch

...just because I think it'd be fun to have setting specific names.

May 29, 2008 10:14:52 I also like the idea of splitting the boards up into fluff and crunch.

The reasoning behind this is that people coming here for help with their campaigns are looking at plot elements and story ideas and we want to be able to provide this sort of feedback for each other in a mechanic-neutral way in order to support 3.5 and 4e players of Eberron (and of course those using yet other systems, such as M&M2e).

Other people come here to talk about the prestige classes and races and feats and particular spells and things, and they need to have a space to hash all of that out with other players using the same setting as them, but that feels like a fundamentally different type of discussion from what I described in the first paragraph.

May 29, 2008 12:19:43 I'm also a fan of the fluff/crunch combo.

I've got plenty of crunch in my books, so I typically look for other people's ideas and interpretations of Eberron fluff. That's the most compelling aspect of the setting for me.

It's still fun to look into the random crunch memes that never die (firearms I'm looking at you).

And more active threads can never hurt the cause!

(OT, we seem to be quite an active community nowadays: I have to look in the friggin' second page to get to some stuff posted today! Go us!)
