Back in Eberron Again

I haven't written anything set in Eberron in a long time, but I just wrote the pitch for an Eberron Adventure to submit to Dungeon Magazine. With the Eberron Player's Guide releasing in just a few days and Campaign Guide releasing shortly thereafter, I think they might be looking for some Eberron-goodness in that setting.

It feels good to revisit Eberron. I really love the feeling of the world and the fact that something about it just screams "cinematic action!" to me. It's hard for me to think small in Eberron. I just want to starting blowing shit up and having epic battles on airships while dinosaur-riders swoop down on the PCs and horribly mutated Daelky-worshiping suspend captives above a large vat containing some sort of animated ooze in a chamber with large Khyber Dragonshards jutting out of the walls.

Y'know, the FUN stuff!

"Let Sleeping Giants Lie" doesn't have the best title ever, but it starts out with the inn the PCs are trying to stay the night in EXPLODING right before the PCs arrive, just in time for the PCs to see the burning body of a Shifter Druid run out of the explosion and beg them to finish her quest with her last gasp. Follow that with a battle with assassins atop a series of bridges suspended above a drop that spells certain death to anyone who falls, a dungeon crawl to stop an ancient mutated Giant from awkening and destroying Sharn, a betrayal at the bottom of the dungeon and then a rush to escape the crumbling caverns afterword...

Indiana Jones, you can take your Crystal Skull and shove it back up E.T.'s ass!

I really WANT to write this and get it published! I'm salivating at the thought! Hell, I want to PLAY THIS, right now! Bring on Eberron-goodness, now!

End of Demented Rambling.

  1. You need to run a game. Stop talking about it, and do it! I will happily play test pretty much when ever.
