I love this setting! This book does a great job of introducing the key components of the Eberron setting - especially the fallout of the Great War. I've had a great time planning a campaign using this book.

Excellent, rich setting with fascinating magical technology, great amounts of lore, and lots of fun player options. I really want a full-length adventure in this setting!

Eberron: Rising from the Last War is an exceptional addition to the worlds of Dungeons and Dragons as it reskins classic high fantasy with a steampunk/industrial landscape filled with deep lore, history, and gives DMs a high level of pre-built tension in a world trying to salvage itself after war divided the various factions. The magic is rooted more in logic and explained through the means of industrialization who prefer to ground their casters in something tangible. However, this setting will not interest everyone, particularly with the addition of guns and other more modern weaponry, especially prevalent in the new Artificer class. Regardless, it is a good read for those wanting to see how worlds can be created and expanded outside of the regular Dungeons & Dragons mythos.
TL;DR: Great expansion to Dungeons & Dragons lore that creates a pseudo-steampunk world for DMs to base their campaigns within.

Eberron is not my thing, but this is about as good an update to it as one could hope for. Full review: https://refereeingandreflection.wordpress.com/2019/12/17/eberron-revision-after-the-edition-war/

Eberron stole my heart back in third edition, and this new book brings it blazing into the modern D&D era. One of the few campaign books that I`ve read cover to cover, I`d recommend this to any DM looking for a less Tolkien take on Western fantasy.

Eberron was my first real campaign as a player (that lasted more than 3 sessions at any rate) and as a DM. I will always have as soft spot for the setting and was pleased when it got an update for 5th edition.
This is a capable condensed edition. I have 12 or 13 of the hardbound books from 3.5 as well as every published module and the majority of the novels (when I get obsessed, I go big). Are there favorite quirks of the setting that got left out of this new edition? Sure, but, this is D&D, you can always put them back in for your players. Eberron still has a lot to offer to players and the game that doesn't fit in with the other veteran and new settings.

a lot more dynamic than the Forgotten Realms, there's also a lot more to remember. Still, I think players who are tired of medieval will devour this world. I look forward to running a campaign here even though it might actually kill me.

Eberron es uno de los mejores settings de Dungeons&Dragons
Desde el comienzo ha traído cosas nuevas: razas, tecnología, magia, imaginarios raciales renovados, la reflexión sobre las postguerra, en fin, nuevas posibilidades en una versión del juego que ya de por sí era intersante
