Reading Club: Eberron (2004)

Book club episode! We discuss Eberron Campaign Setting by Keith Baker. 

As always, you can participate in the talkback episode by sending in a response to any or all of the following questions. You can record yourself speaking, you can post in the discord thread for this episode, or write to thomas@rascal.news. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Discussion Questions

1. What do you think of Eberron? 
2. Do you like the encyclopedia style? Has your relationship to that kind of book changed? 
3. If you've played it, what was your campaign about? How did you use the setting? Which part jumped out and grabbed you?
4. How do you think about the pleasure of reading versus playability? Is this a binary or are there games that do both?

Show Notes:

• Michael Moorcock's anti-Tolkien essay Epic Pooh
• Aaron Trammell's new book about how quantification and orientalism affect D&D
• Prismatic Wasteland's The Keep On The Borderland is full of lies
• Daydreaming about Dragons episode about making history and lore useful at the table
