  • Fantastic D&D Locations in the Eberron Campaign Setting
    Nerdarchy discusses ideas from Eberron to incorporate into your own campaigns and 5e D&D games. With the Eberron Campaign Setting being integrated into 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons we thought it would be a great time to talk about some fun ideas for Dungeon Master and D&D player alike.

    For years, I wasn't interested in running a campaign in a published setting, even though I began with Greyhawk. Then I ran an Eberron game and it was one of the best I've ever done. The material was great. I found the 4th-edition sourcebook the most useful for information because it was so much better organised than the 3rd-edition version.
    Looking forward to the new incarnation.

    I've been running Eberron exclusively since it came out in the early 2000's. It is my very favorite setting. I love the pulp action and noir feel of it. Airships, a train that runs on lightning, living constructs, mystery, a cold war, great lore, a freakin' magical wasteland the size of a nation, a secret cabal of nightmare creatures possessing leaders to bring about the end of the world!!

    Not really interested in running a game in Eberron, but it _does_ have great ideas.
    - Nation of monsters.
    - Jungle-dwelling Drow.
    - Warforged and Changelings (even if you don''t use them as races, you could use them for a unique character).
    - Savage dinosaur-riding Halflings.

    I recently ran Tomb of Annihilation based in Ebberon on the continent of Xen'drik instead of Chult. I made Omu a lost, but magically preserved giant city but left everything else pretty much the same. The spirits of all the nine trickster goods have passed on with the end of the Death Curse except Unkh, who the PC's managed to re-manifest in a physical warforged shell.
    I have been loving Eberron for several editions but never got to run it until recently in 5e.
    Note: I have started adding parts of Exploring Eberron to my Homebrew, but cannot publicly share it as far as I know.

    I use the Eberron maps for my world map. However, I do MOSTLY homebrew lore. Like for me, Darguun, is a dragonborn nation that is very prideful in their expeditions into the Mournlands - as they have charted out the most amount of the last nation. No one knows what happened in there but slowly, my players will begin to find out over the course of the game. I actually have a monster run city in Gatherhold in the Talenta Planes. It was formed by a Goblin (Not a hobgoblin) who found the sleeping form of a Terrasque (Under a wish spell to keep it asleep). He discovered enough about the situation, went back to his tribe and tricked the hob goblins and bug bears into thinking that he had sway over the creature. Now, he is The Grand Merchant, leader of Gatherhold - where they sell Terrasque burgers. Being able to eat the meat of a Terrasque is the main draw of the town so it gets a LOT of travelers and has gotten rather large over the last few years since it's founding. Everyone obeys the Grand Merchant and he has a HEAVY guard around him at all times.

    Pointless in Faerun, and requires a very creative DM to bring it into play, however, in Eberron this sort of thing is useful.
    All PCs of all races have a proper place and full agency in Eberron.
    It also puts fun first, and applies the rule of cool very well. This makes it a perfect breath of fresh air vs traditional or bloated settings like Faerun.

    For me, the greatest feature of Eberron is to take abilities, themes and mechanics that were present in DnD but had no sensible applications in published settings and neatly shoehorn them into a characterful and just about plausible world.
    A good example would be languages. Creating characters who could speak 4 languages and choosing “primordial” or whatever is essentially

    "The thing about homebrewing is you want to make something unique and stand out." In an ideal world, yeah. In actual application at the table, darn near every homebrew game I have ever seen used published mainstream rules in a very very redundant fantasy setting.
