Nov 15, 2007 18:47:08 Should i get Forgotten Realms or Eberron? Wich one is better for level 1-2 PC's? And what books should i get from that campagin? I need to know before christmas. Since they're a christmas prestent^^ I think i need the Player's Handbook or the Campaign Setting book to start out. Like for the Player's Handbook it would be the Player's Handbook of Eberron or Forgotten Realms. Or Eberron Campaign Setting or Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting.
And what campaign(s) are the best of the two series. Like is it Forgotten Realms: Duskwood or Eberron: Wraith of the Lich Queen. Also, which one is more fun in your opinion?

There is no "Player's Handbook" for campaign settings; you may be thinking of the "Player's Guide to _____," which you don't need to play in the campaign setting. I personally would go with Eberron.
Also, the two examples of "campaigns" you mention are just adventures, albeit long and complicated ones. I would worry about the setting first.

I'm shocked you said that.

I would say FR over Eberron myself. The history and lore are the best there is.

Sure you are! Lol

Okay if I'm going to be serious, I see this as a choice between a more tradtional setting (FR) and a more unusual one (Eberron). The choice between these two types boils down to personal taste.

Given the choice between these two specific settings, I would probably go with Eberron. Usually I prefer more traditional fantasy, but if so I would use Mystara, Greyhawk, Kalamar or Birthright over FR. I will admit that FR has the nicest books, but it still doesn't appeal to me very much for some reason.

Nov 18, 2007 5:16:52 Well i cancelled all the FR books im getting because i thought the weird stuff was in them. But when somone said that the weird stuff is in Eberron. I'm thinking to myself "****". Now on amazon i have the Eberron Campaign Setting, Player's Guide to Eberron, and every Campaign that is not in the Campaign book. Im just waiting to see if the FR were cancelled. Then I'll buy the Eberron books.
