I've been reading Eberron sourcebooks, and...wow. I'm amazed by how good this setting is, and I really want to DM an Eberron campaign. I've never played in one before; what experiences have you guys had?
I'm really interested in Eberron now. Seems like a great change in style from standard D&D modules.
Eh, Eberron is really overrated IMO. Most high fantasy worlds are the same, and changing setting won't save your game. I find myself playing more and more games in Forgotten Realms simply because the most important part of the setting is a base of reference for my players. Otherwise choose an actual fresh setting that isn't high fantasy BUT WITH X.
Yeah, I was just going through the Faiths of Eberron book and it's mostly fluff aside from the odd prestige class here and there and only the last dozen pages or so are pure crunch. Good stuff.One of the great things about the 3.5e sourcebooks is that they're 95% fluff with descriptions of places and peoples and only 5% splat in the form of new feats and items. I paticularly liked the Sharn shourcebook and the Last War sourcebook.

I'm not that familiar with D&D, but is Eberron sort of a Fantasy-with-tech setting? I was thinking about giving some D&D a try within my group, but Forgotten Realms make my skin crawl and I'm afraid to run Ravenloft.
Well, to be fair, the fit together at least as much as Real Earth Regions fit together, if you think about it.Golarion is basically FR for Pathfinder. Different names, and geography is even more earth-like. Less emphasis on uber-NPCs as well. Still a kitchen-sink where a lot of good-fleshed regions do not fit together at all.
Aaackshually, the biggest city in the world is Durat Tal in Riedra, with a population over three times that of Sharn.In Sharn, the biggest city in the world, there's a grand total of 3 NPCs who would be able to cast Raise Dead.

Give Greyhawk a shot. It's a far better setting than Forgotten Realms.
