* OlderThanTheyThink: There's plenty of new material in Eberron, but some ideas like Elemental Airships were already used in {{TabletopGame/Mystara}}. [[TabletopGame/Jakandor]] could also be seen as a proto-Eberron, with two morally grey factions that the Party could be members of, rather than the dozens of organizations, houses, nations, and religions vying for control of Khorvaire.

* VindicatedByHistory: While [[TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms]] remains the most popular D&D Setting, [[TabletopGame/Ravenloft]] is really the only other contender for the #2 slot. Beyond that, Keith Baker indicated that adapting Eberron to 5e was extremely easy because in the past decade D&D as a whole has drifted strongly toward the DungeonPunk feel of Eberron, and now assumes Settings in which magic has mundane utility as the default, something for which Eberron was heavily criticized for upon it's initial release.

Added DiffLines:

* FanonDiscontinuity: While many of the changes for 4e stuck nicely, introducing Tieflings, Dragonborn, and Eladrin into Eberron, fans generally agree that there is not now nor has there ever been a 14th Plane called Baator! As Wayfinders Guide didn't mention it, this may be headed towards CanonDiscontinuity.

* BrokenBase: Many "traditionalist" ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' players found the setting too radically different from the earlier MedievalFantasy[=/=]HighFantasy settings like ''TabletopGame/{{Greyhawk}}'', ''TabletopGame/{{Dragonlance}}'' and ''TabletopGame/{{ForgottenRealms}}''. Ironically, the main complaint was that the setting was just too ''different'' from the already existing ones, which was kind of the point of launching a new campaign setting in the first place.

* TheyJustDidntCare: ''VideoGame/DungeonsAndDragonsOnline'' and ''D&D: Dragonshard'' have a pretty tenuous connection to anything tabletop. Gameplay wise, this is usually done to better suit D&D to electronic formats. Story wise... well... Considering Eberron has no MetaPlot, it's likely they knew the story would be non-canon in the first place.

While not explicitly stated, there is an implication of homosexual relationships given the kalashtar\'s stated preference for being with members of the same quori lineage.

Added DiffLines:

* HoYay: YaoiGenre [[YaoiFangirl fans]] might enjoy the fact that the [[{{Bishonen}} kalashtar]] are described as having a strong preference for the company of members of the same quori lineage, and do not commonly form long-term relationships or marriages with members of other lineages. Since each lineage consists of only one gender...
