Really enjoying my Pokémon Emerald run that started as a failed Nuzlocke. Sapphire was the version I had as a kid so encountering the improvements to base Gen 3 has been fun.

It's one I've wanted to do for ages, since I actually sat down and read the Eberron setting. Eberron is a setting which looks to answer the question "What would technology look like if it were made of magic?" There are trains and long distance communications and airships and magical robot soldiers and wandslinging wizard soldiers.
