Mar 27, 2008 17:18:34 Dose anybody know if the Keith baker who designed Eberron, is the same Keith Baker who worked on one of my favorite source books called "Occult Lore" published by Penumbra? Thank you for all your help!

Here's his resume from his website, for more of his works! Incidentally, there are some thoughts here on how to include parts of Occult Lore into Eberron.

I was hoping Keith would see your question himself and answer. He doesn't get enough opportunity to plug his non-WotC stuff.

I have his Crime and Punishment supplement. It has a lot of information on how magic changes the way crime is dealt with. Its a good read for anyone running an Eberron game or for any other setting where the use of magic is widespread and expected. It discusses how magic can be used to solve crimes as well as how magic can be used to get away with it. Lots of information for the DM on what to do once those pesky PCs start throwing divinations at every mystery.

Don't forget about the nonmagical stuff. The investigator base class is great for characters who want to play an inquisitive from first level, and the bounty hunter base class is ideal for House Tharashk.

Per his blog, he is traveling this week.

I have his Crime and Punishment supplement.

I also highly recommend Creatures of Freeport. Lots of cool monsters with developed background. Many of these will work well in the Principalities, Xen'drik, etc. but many work well elsewhere.

I also recommend the "En Route" series. It has 3 different Hellcow scenes, plus a bunch of scenes that can be plugged into any campaign while the PCs are traveling.

Keith's articles in Touched by the Gods have a pretty strong Eberron flavor as well, IMO. I'm not as excited by that book as a whole compared to the previous mentions, though.

My god! The great cow is missing! Who knows what madness will fester in his absence?

I'm back, but at this point the question seems to have been answered. My resume is a little out of date, but it covers my pre-Eberron work.

And hey, if you want further proof of my love of dreams, my very first published RPG piece was "Dreaming on the Verge of Strife" in Atlas Games' Forgotten Lives. It's written for Over The Edge, which is a modern RPG, but I think there's some ideas for dream-oriented conspiracies that could be translated to the Dreaming Dark.

Apr 07, 2008 23:07:39 My favorite was when I realized this Keith Baker was also the same guy who won the Third International Icehouse tournament and whose team won the following year. I was kind of disappointed there were no games played with translucent colored pyramids in any of the Dreaming Dark series -- they would definitely fit in Eberron.
