I picked up the premium color version of this title and am glad I did. Very professional looking both inside and out; layout was stellar, quality is on par with the official releases. The paper from POD is less glossy, which I prefer; dark backgrounds will show my fingerprints in the core books, but not here.

I knew before ordering that many or most of the chapters had starts on Keith’s blog, but were revised and expanded for the publication. Without the extra work I probably still would have bought it for the convenience of shelf/ offline reference; the extra time and effort was well spent though, and a lot of new material and game inspiration comes through. I love reading about how Keith would approach various things, whether they've been widely discussed or rarely thought of - it shows how much this world is alive to him, and that really comes through here.

I liked most of the art in it, though one quibble – there’s not a unified ‘style’ between the pieces from their various contributors like I’ve seen in the core books. All of them capture the feel of Eberron in different ways and don’t feel out of place, but it can be a little distracting with very different styles in close proximity. (‘Exploring Eberron’ had similar variety.)

Overall I’m very happy with this excellent purchase and look forward to more offerings from the team!

I've only recently discovered the solo RPG scene, and this book came suggested as a 'gateway' of sorts - making use of published adventures even if you no longer have a group to run them for. It was inexpensive enough to take a chance on, and in the span of a single morning's efforts it demonstrated its value. Even though it's aimed at 5e - and I've got plans to use it for such - my first experience was with Fantasy Flight's narrative dice system, so at least 60% of it is system asgnostic, probably more. The suggestions on how to immerse yourself are fantastic, and the approach to published adventure reading is wonderful. Absolutely worth the price of admission.

And to get into the slightly outlandish claims - it's also managed to cure my writer's block with keeping record of the adventure thus far, and may well have also been life-changing in how I approach fantasy and fiction. Highly, highly recommended, and I'm personally grateful to the author for publishing it.

Book exceeded my high expectations. Eberron has been my favorite setting since it released, in part due to the evocative descriptions and the enormous pile of plot hooks available- even just to spark imagination. "Exploring Eberron" carries that on in spades; we get not only info on barely-explored parts of the world, but we also get background framing and reasoning for why the world, factions, organizations operate the way that they do.

As someone especially fixated on deep characters, the huge swaths of info about places like pre-Mourning Cyre really help alleviate the 'nation of hats' syndrome that a lot of fantasy worlds struggle with. It's much easier for me to use the new material to make coherent backstories, easily dropping in tidbits from Keith's off-hand mentions, or occasionally reading a line and being inspired for a whole new character story. (Now, if only I got to play in enough games to use all these characters...)

I also really enjoy the conversational tone that the book uses. That may not be the right term for it, but rather than coming across as a dry 'this is the setting, here are your pieces to play with' it feels more like an open letter to the reader; akin to Keith saying, 'here's a bunch of cool things I've done, and here's some blanks I'd love you to fill in!'

Overall I think the book is fantastic, and am grateful to the whole crew responsible for it that they shared it with us. Thank you, and please keep them coming!
