Maybe someone else has the link.

Jun 25, 2008 19:34:07 I would tell them about the Last War, and also (if you're letting them make their own characters) tell them about all the races you're letting them use and the nations they could be from. The information I provided was This info on races and this info on the nations. Not exactly in-depth, but enough for them to know which country they want to be from.

Jun 26, 2008 12:33:33 I'm actually going to be starting my group with the original Eberron adventures. These are the starter from the back of the ECS, then branching off into the Shadows of the Last War (which I don't think will be very hard to update for 4E).
