The Eberron Journal returns

The Eberron Journal is back! The cause of its disappearance -- and subsequent return -- is a complete mystery. Thanks to all the Eberron fans who wrote in with web space advice and offers.

We lost some content that was about to go live, but by this weekend, expect to see some new updates. Until then, if you haven't already, check out the Korranberg Chronicle, the Eberron Bestiary, Maps of Eberron, Siberys.com, and Morgrave University.

Another Official Site Update

Steal This Hook!: Ghoulish Tales by Doug Beyer is now on the official site.

Sounds scary!

Miniatures Handbook Conversion at the Eberron Journal

The Eberron Journal's popular Conversions section has been updated with an article by first-time contributor Orion Cooper. This conversion covers Miniatures Handbook Classes, including the healer, marshal, warmage, and several prestige classes. (The favored soul, originally introduced in the Miniatures Handbook, is covered in our Complete Divine conversion.)

Character PDFs from Shards of Eberron

The D&D Open: Shards of Eberron event at Gen Con Indy 2004 is now long past, but the fast-play characters created for the event are still useful if you're looking for 6th-level PCs or NPCs.

Tanix, warforged fighter
Larric Zane, shifter barbarian and ranger
Beld the Watchful, human monk
Reginald Pipwhistle, halfling sorcerer
Corlin Faith-Hammer, dwarf favored soul
Sarlis Waylund, elf rogue

Shards of Eberron sent characters on a hunt to retrieve an Eberron dragonshard for Tophran Damilek, one of Sharn’s wealthiest citizens. The next major Eberron RPGA event is the launch of the Mark of Heroes campaign at Gen Con So Cal.

Sean K Reynolds has his own website at www.seankreynolds.com that includes Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk fan content, and hopefully some Eberron content in the future!

Two new articles at the Eberron Journal

The Eberron Journal has updated with two new articles!

Unconventional Ancestors provides new options for Eberron sorcerers. We know your sorcerer is connected to Siberys, but what monstrous ancestors have you had since then? This article presents themed spell lists for sorcerers with couatl, doppleganger, night hag and rakshasa ancestry.

The Common to Goblin Translator can turn a string of English words into something that sounds like the language of Eberron's goblins. Don't expect to back-translate existing Goblin words using the translator, but it's an easy way to provide flavorful names and passages.
