Start of a New Blog

This blog will have interesting news posts from around the internet, reviews of new products, and some posts recounting the tales of our home campaign.  Our 4th ed campaign started very recently, and I was going to run it as a LFR campaign exclusively, but now that I have been reading more about Eberron, I think that I want to bring our players over to the other world.  I think I am going to have to run a few more sessions in the realms before I throw in some sort of portal that throws them from their world and into the world of Eberron.

The implications of that are pretty cool.  For example, would the gods be the same, or would my cleric have to convert?  Would I allow access to Dragonmarks that would slowly spread on the bodies of the players (as if they'd been there the whole time)?  I love the idea of running a campaign paralell to a similar group of NPCs trying to reach the same goal.  For instance I am drawing the idea from the Rod of Seven Parts theme where I have the players gathering multiple pieces of an artifact that would help them get home or at least give them access to go back and forth (thus expanding my potential game play options).  If they choose to go back and forth, this wouldn't be until Paragon Tier.

Finally, I think I will move them over when they hit 2nd level and have them run the Khyber's Harvest module that was given out for Free RPG Day 2009.  It looks pretty fun, and the idea of Symbiont magic items are interesting how they have special uses but require a healing surge to activate.  I can just see the potential stigmata involved with roleplaying options also...

Okay, well this is David Gibb signing off of the inaugural post of Temporary Hit Points.
