Perhaps someone with wiki skills can update that as needed with the info here?

It will have campaign logs and random thoughts...
“It only surprised me up until around 1977, ... I had thought we were going to have a considerable audience of gamers and science fiction and fantasy fans. I thought easily with those we'd have 50,000 or more [buyers], but when people began to write me [with questions] about what fantasy books to read, and I saw the wide range of both younger and older people who were attracted to the game, I understood that it was reaching a deeper chord, something deep within us.” – E. Gary Gygax (July 27, 1938 – March 4, 2008)
It's a 240+ page campaign and resource fully 4E compatible, scheduled for October 1st to be available at lulu.com and e23 (and possibly other pdf vendors if I can arrange it soon enough).

Fiery Dragon has Creature Collection and Relics & Rituals coming out for 4E.
Also, Wofgang Bauer was demoing his forthcoming 4E adventure at GenCon apparently (Wrath of the River King or something like that, iirc).

Due Oct. 1. I'm a patron for this project and we've already seen several encounters. While I was not able to attend Gen Con for the playtest, I've already heard that it was an awesome intro to a great adventure.
Hi guys not sure if this is the right place to ask this but here goes. I'm back to DnD (4e) after about a 20 year hiatus and am having a lot of fun. I like the looks of the Goodman Games stuff but have no personal experience with them so I'd like to see some of your opinions on these products. I realize this is all stuff to be released in the future, but in general what kind of track record does GG have?
Man, come october, we're going to be up to our eyes in variant Barb/Monk/Bards.
I'm not sure I'd count two versions as "up to our eyes in them". Still, should be interesting to see the different approaches that Ari and Eytan & Co take. October looks to be an interesting month.

I'm afraid I can't help you that much, as I've never purchased any of their products before. From what I hear on the boards, they have a pretty solid rep - not the golden chorus of fans that Paizo has, but people say nice things about them. Yeah, not that much help, I know.

Well, this has been a lot of fun so far, and has definitely achieved my personal goal of broadening my awareness of what's out there. Hopefully people keep submitting stuff and it turns into a decent resource. Here's another way of sorting what we have so far:
New versions of Bard/Barbarian/Druid/Monk/Sorceror:
2.5 (Goodman, Expeditious Retreat (.5 is Mongoose's Quintessential Wizard)
New games/campaign settings - ranging in scope from Kingdoms of Kalamar (3.5 setting reprinted w/ 15 pages of updates added) to Amethyst (new races, new classes, new paragon paths, new equipment, completely different setting, etc):
6 (Dias Ex Machina, Inner Circle, Kenzer & Co, Mongoose, Redbrick Limited, Zodiac Gods)
Adventures:
Everyone and their mother - if WotC was hoping for 3pp's to put out a bunch of adventures to support the game, they got their wish.
New Monster Manuals:
1? (Fiery Dragon the only ones putting out a straight-up monster manual? I suppose Necro is planning to push out one of these if the GSL changes are to their liking)

They make some of the best adventures in the business. Certainly better than WotC.

Doh, I wish I had the talent for Wiki. I can't even make a good web page. Someone tried to make wikipedia entry for Amethyst and it got deleted. That blows.

Wow. With all this talk about "no 3pp" are supporting 4e, there sure are a lot of things going on.
Of course, not all of these are GSL, but still ... 3pp support for 4e seems to be gathering speed!

4E has rituals, use them, they're magic; Want to see the greatest thing you will ever see? then click; You can use “Earth” as a D&D setting; Origins of The Rouse; (look for it) The Rouse responds; (look for it) One can appreciate both old and new D&D.
Though I do wonder if the world is really ready for another wave of Quintessentials.
We'll see. I'm worried about the power creep, if nothing else. Mongoose had a habit of making "must have" feats and weapons and such before because they were so freaking unbalanced. Bastion Press had something similar with some of their books. The first book had better be good, or the whole thing will blow up in their faces.
The only other thing that kept me from being completest on the old Quint books (other than the "hit or miss" quality) is that after a point, they became MONTHLY. My wallet couldn't keep up with 'em.

We do have some changes coming to the line too. More info later this week.
