Hey y'all, so I heard that some folks do a "side shot" in their campaigns, where you have the PCs play a session in the past or elsewhere and have it relating back to the story. I thought this was a real cool idea, and would work perfectly for the Eberron setting as well as my campaign. However, I'll admit life is stressing me out right now and my brain is a bit fried so I figured I'd ask the hive for advice.

Currently I'm setting up a conflict where a rogue senior member of the Emerald Claw convinced the organization to loosely ally with The Mourners (in exchange for access to dead bodies to reanimate for Karnath). The Mourners are about to go to war with The Boromar Clan (after they discovered The Boromar Clan are trafficking refugees from Cyre for all sorts of nefarious reasons) and simply want Breland to bleed (which is cool with EC of course). Unbeknownst to my players, said senior member of the Emerald Claw is a vampire, a Sharn councilor, and being blackmailed by another councilor who is actually The Lord of Blades in disguise.

IME: The Mourning was caused by an eldritch machine test gone awry. It released my main BBEG from Khyber (which has also indoctrinated the Lord of Blades from an otherwise normal Warforged).

We could probably go many different directions with this, but I'm curious what your thoughts are. I'm admittedly not too well versed in Last War lore, so maybe there is something obvious there I haven't considered. Please and thanks.

Hey ya'll, my brothers and I are starting a Lancer campaign soon and when I had them take a questionnaire to determine what type of campaign they would want to play, they expressed interest in an "ancient evil/cosmic horror" theme.

I have a hard copy of the core book, and I have looked into The Long Rim and The Karrakin Trade Baronies a little, but I'm wondering what books, supplements, etc. I should prioritize reading to help get the ball rolling? Still brand new to this game, but really loving all that I have seen and read so far.

Please and thanks!

I'm using the Library of Korranberg in my campaign as an in-universe way to lore drop and/or for my players to find different "leads" for the larger mystery. I couldn't find a lot of information on what might be INSIDE the Library of Korranberg or how it may be organized, so I made a version of The Dewey Decimal System flavored for my Eberron.

Feel free to hit me with any suggestions or constructive criticism. I try to keep my Eberron fairly close to cannon/Kannon, but I'm certainly no expert. You're welcome to use this resource for your games and/or remix it to fit your Eberron. My only request is that you be cool and don't repackage this to sell online or anything like that.

*Class 3000 "Special Collections" requires an appointment, confirmed by the Library Director, or a research pass issued by a university or governing body.

*Class 4000 "Restricted" and Class 5000 "Vaults" are not publicly listed on any library materials. However, rumors persist among Korranberg locals and library patrons of "knowledge hidden away from the general public." Not to mention, depending on the research topic, you may find yourself hitting a proverbial wall. Maybe smooth-talking a librarian would help?

Hey ya'll, working on a list of previously hard to find films that are now available on Blu-Ray/DVD/Streaming. Anytime I search for this I get "movies NOT on Blu-Ray" posts, so I figured I'd come to the hivemind for help beyond what I already knew about.

I already have Gummo, stuff from the WKW boxset, Killers of the Flower Moon, Pink Flamingoes, and Born in Flames. Please and thanks!

Hey y’all I recently got into Eberron and was immediately inspired by the setting to write something myself. However it seems like there isn’t a ton of info about some of the lesser Sharn street gangs. I love the idea of The Mourners for example, but I’m not sure how I can connect them with the other factions in my story (Aurum, Emerald Claw, Boromar).

What sort of things would they squabble over or maybe even work together on? Your answer can be “Kannon” if I’ve missed something or just whatever you come up with. Please and thanks!
