Eberron has a very distinctive character. It's one thing to come up with a list of generic, Eberron-friendly hooks. It's quite another to write a dozen pages of an adventure without having a good bit of campaign-specific material that is incompatible with other milieux.

Like it or not, Eberron is easily the most difficult environment (of the major choices available) to make compatible with other alternatives.

This is exactly my original point. Eberron is SO different that it is very difficult to convert even a vanilla D&D adventure to it. AoW in FR is much easier since it is really high magic Greyhawk!

I had the same problem when I DM'ed Dark Sun--just too different. And since I'm pressed for time as a DM a lot of this needed conversion is just too much work.

But the AoW writers didn't make it easier by building up a story around Greyhawk names, characters, and places all over---I mean, "Spawn of Kyuss" for heaven's sake! How much more blatant can you get!?

I just finished running TFoE in my Eberron campaign. My players said, "These adventures weren't written for Eberron are they?" Even though I organized it around Keith Baker's suggested changes, the adventurs themselves DON'T have the Eberron flavor.

Where are warforged? Where are artificers? Dragonshards? The list goes on and on.

I like the concept of AoW, but it's just too much work to convert to Eberron. I'm thinking of dumping it and going on to something else.

Shucks!!

I'm running the AoW campaign in Eberron. It's great, but I want to just increase the overall Eberron flavor. I've read Keith Baker's conversion notes, and again while helpful, do not go far enough to really inject the feel of Eberron into the campaign. Some elements that really seem missing are:

-Dragonmarks--their use, etc. (especially for the PCs)
-Dragonshards
-Effective use of Eberron races (warforged, etc.)
-Travel (airships, lightning rail)

I would appreciate any help or feedback on how some of you have accomplished this in your Eberron-based AoW campaign. Thanks!
