I am pretty new to this messageboard so I am not sure I can post this message here... Anyone knows if Wotc will release a full lenght campaign for Eberron/more products? I mean after Seeker of the Ash Crown... I checked the schedule for the next year but nothing to be annonced. Then? Thanks!

As such, you might want to invest in the 3.5 era books and a DDI subscription (presuming you haven't already, on both counts), because unless things change, there won't be anymore Eberron books. *crosses fingers* |
| #3swalOct 13, 2009 8:25:02 | Thanks! I think I have heard this before : only three books. I have suscribed to DDI (great stuffs!) and I hope there will be regular adventures for Eberron... I didn't know this setting before playing the 4th edition then which adventures for 3.5 do you reccommend to me? Any links to where this kind of things are discussed? Thanks!

I cannot remember the titles of the other earlier serie of adventures, but they did not make much of an impression on me. Personally though, I would find converting them a bit of a pain. Resource management between 3E and 4E is completely different, so not only do you need the convert the monster stats (relatively easy), you also need to check the pacing of the adventure and the number of encounter in between extended rests. I think that your money is better spend on the 3E campaign setting books, especially the ones on Sarlona, Stormreach and Argonesse since those don't get much attention in the 4E campaign setting book. |

I disagree entirely actually. I think people should stop buying the 3e Eberron books except for:
All the other books aren't needed for a 4th ed campaign. Nope. Definitely not. At least, not until I've secured a copy

| #6durskutOct 14, 2009 10:26:05 | I completely agree with the 3.5 Eberron books keeping their value. I'm starting to make my transition between 3.5 and 4e and I still find myself constantly referencing them for lore (a lot more than the 4e books). Here's my list: 3.5 Eberron Campaign Setting Five Nations Dragonmarked Player's Guide to Eberron The Forge of War Secrets of Xen'drik Faiths of Eberron Secrets of Sarlona Explorer's Handbook Magic of Eberron Sharn: City of Towers I've pretty much read all these books as if they were novels (as in start at page 1, read to the back cover) and enjoyed it a lot. On a personal note for the more complete out there, what am I missing? I want to have the complete collection. Is it really only City of Stormreach and Dragons of Eberron? Or is there more to be had? |

I think Races of Eberron is the only one that isn't listed there, although it was shoved into the "Races of..." series rather than in Eberron proper. |
| #8P1NBACKOct 19, 2009 3:58:52 | Races of Eberron is probably the least necessary for a 4E game though. |
