When I look at ranks, taken with a grain of salt (of course), I never seen Ebberon ranked amongst the top ten. Curse of Strahd, Storm King's Thunder, Tomb of Annihilation always come to the top.
I don't see many reviews on Ebberon. What I don't want to do is buy something and then find out it was a poor choice. Can anyone give me an honest review of Ebberon?
It’s a bit like comparing apples to oranges or more specifically apples, flour, butter & sugar to a fully prepared bake at home apple pie.
the Eberron book is not an adventure in itself, it’s a guide to creating adventures in Eberron, more comparable to Wildemount than Strahd.
90% of people buy CoS to play CoS, people buy Eberron for warforged & Artificer
Or for the lore! I love me some classic Tolkien fantasy, but Eberron’s got some awesome ideas for a steampunk noir campaign. Especially considering I don’t usually allow artificers in my medieval fantasy settings.
But if you’re looking for an adventure, yeah, Eberron isn’t one, it’s more like a huge box of totally random blocks than a regular LEGO set.
If you want to do Eberron, you'll have to buy the old content elsewhere if you want modules and maps to come up with something you and your players would like:
Because Eberron was released as a source book, it allows people to make content on DMs guild, so you can get a lot of stuff for it at a reasonable price. There is an adventurers league campain (20 modules) you level ridiculously fast, but its still a campaign. It's milestone based, you probably level 2X's as fast as XP.
