Wizards 2008 releases?

Alnag said:
Is it just me, or is there almost nothing for 2008, and if, than just such fluffy dull pieces as Eberron Survival Guide and Wizard's Presents (formerly Behind the Screen series). What the hell?

Agreed. At least it's less temptation to splurge on splatbooks next year.

Interesting. Is WotC getting back into superheroes? I might pick this up for my M&M Paragons campaign.

D&D Keep on the Shadowfell adventure for levels 1-3 includes 1 or 3 double-sided poster maps. 96 page softcover, $29.95 April 15, 2008
Interesting. They have to be consciously giving a shout-out to B2 with that name. What the heck is a Shadowfell, though?

What's on the boosters for Dungeons of Dread and the new starter set? If you don't mind me asking.
The starter set contains a Large Green Dragon, Human Sellsword, Elf Warlock, Dwarf Battlemaster, and Exiled Drow Fighter. The rules have been updated for faster play in an easy-to-reference format. The starter is in a clear blister package. No theme is given for this set, other than it will include some figures drawn from key 2008 D&D titles. The catalog contains no pictures for the D&D minis, not even cover art.

From the catalog:

The Town of Winterhaven stands watch over a ruined keep that was once a bastion of good in the realm. This keep overlooks the Shadow Rift, a dark scar in the world that was once a gateway to the Shadowfell but has been dormant for many years. Now, an evil cleric of Orcus, Demon Lord of the Undead, seeks to re-open the gate, and the only thing standing in his way is a small yet determined band of heroes.
BTW, in one paragraph, the description says this module contains 3 double-sided poster maps, but in 2 other locations it says just one. Actually, one place says 1 poster map, the other says one double-sided poster maps.

That sound groovy. Cool.
 


D&D Wizards Presents: Worlds and Monsters A D&D accessory (?) that gives a behind-the-curtain glimpse into the making of D&D. 96 page softcover, $19.95 Jan 15, 2008

The cynic in me says this is a glimpse behind 3.5 so that we understand what 4.0 is about.


D&D City of Stormreach is an Eberron supplement describing the city, with adventure hooks, maps, and adversaries. 160 page hardcover, $29.95 Feb 19, 2008

Probably light on crunch, able to move between editions with no problem.


Star Wars Gamemaster Screen and Character Sheets contains a 4-panel screen and 32 double-sided character sheets. $14.95 Feb 19, 2008

No brainer product for a new game.


D&D Mysterious Lairs Dungeon Tiles terrain tiles of dungeons, temples, and monster lairs. 6 double-sided heavy cardstock sheets, $9.95 March 18, 2008

Tiles are useful for any edition.


D&D Eberron Survival Guide "A lavishly illustrated 64-page visual guide to the world of Eberron" and it "is an excellent addition to your library or coffee table." 64 page hardcover, $19.95 March 18, 2008

I bet this is a fiction book in the style of several of Warhammer's awesome illustread books and not an actual RPG product.


Star Wars The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide is a Star Wars rpg supplement inspired by the video game of the same name. It is a campaign stting during the period between Episode III and Episode IV. 224 page hardcover, $34.95 March 18, 2008

Sounds like a good media tie in.


D&D Keep on the Shadowfell adventure for levels 1-3 includes 1 or 3 double-sided poster maps. 96 page softcover, $29.95 April 15, 2008
For for 3 double-sided maps, we lose hardcover format and 64 pages eh?

Star Wars Imperial Outposts: Galaxy Tiles 6 double-sided die-cut heavy cardstock sheets of terrain tiles. $12.95 April 15, 2008

Tiles again.

The cynic in me says 4th ed soon.
