I'm thinking of running a sandbox style D&D 5e game set in Eberron. Anyone out there interested?

Not sure about level yet. Probably 3rd, that's my default. I'd like to explore as much of the setting as possible, so I'm working on a story that will take the characters all over the world. I'm a big fan of the kind of swashbuckling style action that Eberron can support, as well as the fuzzy morality of the setting.

How sandbox your style would be? I am yet to see a PbP game to run smooth when players have to agree on what they do next in an open ended situation

Interested regardless. All over the continent and fuzzy morality sounds intriguing.

When I run a sandbox game I usually develop several BBEGs whose plots and machinations the players have to thwart. How they achieve that, who they tackle at what time, and what goals of their own they pursue I leave to them. I also usually offer a choice of starting locations at the beginning of the game, three or four that the players can choose from.

When I say kind of stories I'm thinking of stuff like
- pulp-adventures in the jungles of Xen'drik
- noir-adventures in the bottom of Sharn
- wild-west-adventures in the frontiers
- dungeon crawling in the mournlands
- spy vs spy adventures in the political games between the 5 nations

Probably not spy vs spy, but the potential for everything else over the course of the story.

I also like to work the draconic prophecy into my Eberron games.

Who can resist :D
I'm already invisioning a dragonmarked character who is a collage of swords bard or a cleric. But that is premature and I know it :D

It’s good to know you’re excited.

I'm interested as well! I really like Eberron, especially the fuzzy morality side of it that you mention. I don't have a character concept just yet but I made a Changeling rogue in the past for a game that sadly didn't get off the ground that I might want to dust off. I will be happy to join if this gets off the ground.

I'll put you on the interested list.

Add me while you're at it, if you don't mind. I do enjoy some Eberron.
