Episode notes
Small-Scale Setting, Big Utility
- Frontiers of Eberron focuses tightly on a small region rather than continent-scale lore.
- That narrow focus makes the material portable and useful outside Eberron.
Use Feats For Dragonmarks
- Use dragon mark feats instead of subraces under D&D 2024 rules.
- Convert old mark subrace builds to the new feat-based approach when updating campaigns.
Borderland Campaign Frame
- The Western Frontier chapter frames the setting as a borderland between Breland and Droam.
- It emphasizes clashing factions, hazards, and varied campaign tones like heroic or horror Westerns.
