On the name: no, but I know what you’re referring to. I spotted the Prince of Frost reference in Chronicles of Eberron just the other day. I considered changing the name I’d picked but I’ve decided to stick with it as I think the ambiguity (if it comes up) could actually play out in an interesting way.
Instead, I’m thinking of twisting the name to be a new speaker for one of the Overlords, probably Dral Khatuur (the Heart of Winter) or maybe an as-yet-unnamed Overlord. A power that wouldn’t normally be in play, so to speak, so that I’ve got a lot of room to make things up with bits of Draconic Prophecy. I’ll see what the PCs turn out to be an make a firmer decision after that.
Do you have a plan for the Eberron community here on Lemm.ee? Anything you do/don’t want for it?
Oh cool, yeah I can see a fun red herring situation where some translation from Abyssal results in something like “Prince of Frost,” perhaps leading the party to Taer Syraen, only to find it’s an entirely different Prince of Frost they’re after!
As for this community: I was mainly interested in creating a landing zone for folks who might be leaving reddit but want to have a similar environment for discussing Eberron. The discord is great, but its format makes it hard to keep up with the discussion if you aren’t on it every day. I’m aiming for a chill, welcoming environment here.
Yeah, I agree. Discord is best for being there at the time. This format is better for looking back to last week, or keeping a conversation going over many days.
On that note, I’ll have a look at pulling apart the bits I’ve got for my campaign to see if they’re useful and legal to share. Might help with both Eberron and combining that setting with SWADE for people who come here later.
SWADE recently came on my radar to potentially move onto after I finish Oracle of War and escape from the disruption of Revised 5E (One D&D or however you wanna say it). Also been looking at WWN but I’m not to sure that it’s mechanics aid in playing in a pulp/noir setting.
That’s awesome! Congrats on finishing a campaign. Does your campaign feature the archfey Prince of Frost?
Thanks! :)
