Coming Soon: WAR OF THE BURNING SKY - the novel!

Starting next month, EN World will be hosting a new column - none other than WotBS conceptualizerationer and lead designer on the original adventures - Ryan "Rangerwickett" Nock.

And the best part? Ryan has spent many months working on his WotBS novel. And we're going to be publishing it, for free, as a monthly serial column!

I've read the first 60,000 words or so (don't worry, the column itself will be in chunks of 10K, possibly less depending on how that looks on a web page), and it's really good. The main heroes are NPCs you may be familiar with from the adventures: Rantle, Diogenes, Kathor, Torrent (these, I believe, were the actual PCs in Ryan's original campaign, although he can probably clarify that), along with later additions such as Crystin, Haddin, Tiljann and Katrina.

The first installment will appear at the beginning of October, and there will be an installment every month thereafter. In addition to being a damn fine read, it's also a great accompaniment for a DM running the campaign.

We hope you enjoy it!

Sounds really interesting; is this going to be something I should fend prospective players away from, though, or more of a historical story taking us up to "Day One" of the adventure series?

Either way, I look forward to reading it!

Regards,

Barry

Yep, it follows the adventure series. Players should avoid!

Very Cool! (Except yet another reason to spend time on ENWorld ... my wife is going to HATE it!)
