In this remastered episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we talk to Keith Baker, creator of the Eberron setting, about the setting, its real-world history, and how to tell amazing stories in it. Keith shares insights into one of the most complex and interesting official settings, as well as years of experience and insight telling exciting pulp/noir stories in a setting so novel that it defines the “dungeonpunk” genre.

Keith Baker is an American game designer and author best known for creating the Eberron campaign setting for Dungeons & Dragons. In 2002, Baker won Wizards of the Coast's Fantasy Setting Search contest, which led to the development of Eberron, a unique world blending high magic, noir intrigue, and pulp adventure. In addition to his work on D&D, Baker has contributed to a variety of tabletop games, including the card game Gloom, and has written novels set in the Eberron universe. He is highly regarded for his imaginative world-building and innovative game design.
