Playtesters for Talenta Module?

Resource

I'm new to Eberron (just the last couple years or so). For me, it just feels right: Everything has purpose and meaning and is supported. It's not just super magic ya-ya, because I said so, with level gazillion NPCs everywhere. You all know the drill. It's amazing.

But when I first started digging in, it seemed like nearly everything adventure-wise was about Sharn. It's impressive for sure and there are unlimited options, but it seemed like a lot of other places were lacking adventures. Where were the adventures for the other great places (besides pirates which also seem to have pretty good adventure coverage)?

So, I picked a place and worked on learning about it. To be honest, I hated dinos in D&D until I got to The Talenta Plains. I read A LOT about Talenta. Halflings now (finally) make sense. They're not little cutesie pixies. They're barbarians who domesticated dinos!

As you can tell from the vomit of verbiage here, I like to write. Plus, it's been forever since I tried to build an adventure. So I wrote about Talenta and those badass halflings. I ended up writing A LOT.

I have a huge adventure that needs some test players because I don't have a group. I got some good feedback from r/dndadventurewriter. But really, it needs playing by Eberron folks who understand the elements and background. People who care about the setting and want there to be options that have the right feel. And I wanted to share my new found love for the Talenta. And so my request: Anyone want to try some or all of it out?

Maybe pick a piece or two and let me know how it goes. There's travel across the plains, several pieces that can work as one-shots, optional smaller events, manifest zones, big role-play opportunities, complex NPCs, political intrigue between Dragonmarked houses, campaign hooks, and PC decisions with weight and impact. Hopefully, if I got it right, I captured some of Eberron's grey elements where characters in the story are much more than black and white.

Fair disclosure:

My goal, assuming it's a decent piece of work, is publishing on DMsGuild. I'm happy to share a copy of the final product with any who help with playlets.

It's long, about 27K words over 65 pages. But it's modular, I swear! It can be run piecemeal. Shoot me a DM and I'm happy to send you a link to download a PDF copy.

Now, I need to go start reading more about Zilargo.
