Eberron to GURPs

Ok I have been working on the conversion of Eberron to GURPs 4th ed. And I am just about to start a game. I think I have it all together (at least in the mind!). I have all the Eberron books except the book of magic for Eberron and it is on my list of things to get, can you say eBay!

But what I really wanted to talk about is the Players Guide to Eberron, wow what a great book! What a great job on this book, I mean everything is just … well GREAT! I mean there are not a lot of “crunchy bitz” such as rules or setting specific rules just for D&D 3.5. I mean I got it on the recommendation of my FLGS owner Darren at www.imperialoutpost.com as he knows I am working on the conversion and I must say do yourself a favor and pick this book up if you like character setting and area based knowledge of a fantasy setting. This could almost be a GURPs book already as the game related stuff is very minimal as I said before and the “What you know” section of each new topic can easily convert to any game system.

If you are like me and love the concept or flavor of Eberron but not a huge fan of the D&D mechanics, grab this book it will give you a wealth of info for your game if you want to use the Eberron setting and not the cannon rules of D&D.

So in short go buy this book if you think you might want more info on Eberron or may use it in a campaign setting.
