Contents

Contents

Secrets of Xen'drik is an accessory for the Eberron setting that explores the continent of Xen'drik, with its shattered cities and vast dungeons which hold the secrets of countless fallen empires. This book contains a comprehensive overview of Xen'drik and the gateway city of Stormreach. It includes new feats, prestige classes, spells, equipment, and magic items. It also provides encounters and magical locations that can be dropped into existing campaigns, as well as ready-to-play adventures, monsters, and villains.

Secrets of Xen'drik introduced the concept of encounter traps, which function more like combat encounters than normal traps, and later appeared in Dungeonscape in an entire chapter devoted to traps. [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Living campaigns</span> Table-top role-playing game format

Living campaigns, or shared campaigns, are a gaming format within the table-top role-playing game community that provide the opportunity for play by an extended community within a shared universe. In contrast to traditional isolated role-playing games, living campaigns allow and encourage players to develop characters that can be played at games run by many different game masters, but which share a game world and campaign setting, as well as a plot line that is overseen by a central core of professional or volunteer editors and contributors. Many living campaigns serve a dual role of providing a creative outlet for highly involved volunteer contributors while also serving as a marketing tool for the publisher of the game system that is the focus of the living campaign. While the earliest living campaigns were run by the now defunct RPGA, many groups around the world run active living campaigns which are independent or sponsored by other publishers.
