Eberron Explorers is a D&D group for beginner through intermediate players set in the expansive world of Eberron. Games typically last about 3-4 hours, and players can drop in and out casually or engage in the entire campaign. Eberron blends together elements of traditional fantasy, steampunk and pulp noir into a one-of-a-kind setting. There is room for every kind of character in the continent of Khorvaire, and a thorough wiki outlines its history and five nations. Players will also find unique diversity and complexity, avoiding the usual fantasy race tropes. Warforged soldiers and goblins with rich cultures are just some of the possibilities. We create a welcoming and respectful environment so that everyone can have a good time. We use a variety of services like D&D Beyond, Discord, and Roll20, and pay a fee to cover the cost of materials. The most important rule is for everyone to have fun, and all forms of sexual assault, racism, sexism, bigotry and bullying are not tolerated. Discussions of politics and religion are also to be avoided. Cris, the organizer, has been playing for 6 years, and enjoys using his UX knowledge to create interactive adventures.
