Synopsis
Whirring gears, clacking cogs, and hissing steam; when it comes to living in Eberron, these are nonnegotiables. There isn’t a corner of land without mutationby the oils of industry.
The stench of invention is thick in these lands, so embrace a cutthroat life of action and high stakes. Nobody’s safe from becoming a story or a mystery, and there are no heroes. Always problems but never enough solutions to go around.
Warbound takes place in the world of Eberron, built from the carcass of a dragon deity. Two continents have been at war for a decade, but a sudden reversal causes a battalion to be left marooned on enemy territory. With no other choice, the battalion must trek through insurmountable dangers to return to their homeland.
This Eberron campaign will be a low-magic setting. This means items that replicate magical effects are more common than the somatic evocation of magic.
Core themes in Warbound: War, Distance, and Erosion.
- Two opposing things in conflict, clashing dualities. When does the battle end? How long will the battlefield stretch before it engulfs everything? Is peace best achieved in one stead or the other?
- Gaps and spaces, the distance between. How far apart can people be before they change irreparably? How far can you distance yourself from a person, a philosophy, or a history?
- What do you lose during war and what do you lose after it? What has been weathered from your identity thereafter? Is what is left after the friction good? Gradual loss of integrity through attrition and resistance.
While I will be using Eberron as a basis for convenience and efficiency, this version of the renowned D&D setting will be mine own.
If you’re looking to witness the story unfolding, you should visit the official Warbound: A Steampunk Odyssey channel, where you can find full-length recordings of sessions and bonus content, such as session zeroes and animatics.
We’ll see you in the workshops, inventors and thinkers!

This seems like a really cool blog! I’m fairly new to DND, and so I’m assuming this is just a DND quest? (I think that’s the right word again, I’m new to playing DND). Your dragon piece raised some interesting points about how we look at dragons that I’ve noticed when writing or reading fantasy. We can use Dragons in many ways other than what we actually do.
