So we have 3 core rule books, 3 deluxe versions of those books; 2 general suplements; 2 FR books; 4 general adventures, 1 FR adventure; screen, sheets, and dice; 4 mini sets and 2 sets of tiles (with a nice giant themed pair coming in July). (Edit: you will also be able to get the core rules together in one set). Edit: and there is a monster supplement, and an intro game.

Setting aside the deluxe books, we have 12 book type products (including the adventures). This seems to be their annual quota, but should we expect more towards the end of the year? Edit: now going over that, and expecting more products to be announced for December.

Edit, again: yes, couple more added.Edit more: with 2009

I have migrated this to general.

Sounds like plenty enough to me, but I'm always open to more cool stuff!

My notes have two more confirmed products that aren't on the list:

4th Edition Core Rulebook Gift Set: Jun 6, 2008
Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition for Dummies: Jul 21, 2008

In addition, The Rouse (I think) mentioned that a new D&D Basic Set would most likely be out before the end of 2008, but no release date is confirmed for that at present.

And finally, there have been unsubstantiated rumours (based on comments from a translator, IIRC) that either a Manual of the Planes or a Draconomicon or both are also in the works for late 2008 or early 2009. But again, no confirmed release date for either.

Thanks echohawk. I actually have D&D for dummies, just slightly out of order. I left out the gift set, as it is just a repackaging of the books (though I do have the 3.5 one, and like the slip case for use at the table). I will revise.

Basic set I think is definate, surprised it has not got on amazon. I know Draconomicon was mentioned in Worlds and Monsters, but in a sort of maybe way. (It was a very popular 3rd ed book).

Yes.

The Rouse: thanks!

Yes, there will be a Manual of the Planes?
Yes, there will be a Draconomicon?

or

Yes, there have been unsubstantiated rumors?

I would expect we will likely see similar splats for Arcane and Divine power sources. Those were unofficially scooped a month ago or so.

I hope, I really do, that we won't see all of them in 2008. Slow and steady releases of high quality are what I want out of 4E.

What's the difference between the deluxe and standard versions?
