Erik Mona's secret project revealed yet?

Here's the link, FWIW.

Look what I just uncovered at WotC's website!!!

Huzzah!

Curious as to what the 3.5 treatment will bring...hopefully better maps!

 

[Erik Mona]

Well, well, well, would you look at that.

[Jason Bulmahn]

Well, well, well, would you look at that.

Ahhh.. finally, this cat is out of the bag. I don't know about Erik and James, but keeping the secret on this one was slowly killing me. Phew.

So does this mean that Ruins of Greyhawk is not only the Mona secret-squirrel, but the Jacobs one as well?

 

[Knightfall]

Well, well, well, would you look at that.

I'm really looking forward to that module, even moreso than the Castle Ravenloft one, which I still haven't purchased.

Is this already the secret project? Quite cool, though it wasn't THAT secret any more...

And a friendly word of warning:

Ahould someone dare to write Castle Greyhawk into the Realms, I'll personally lead the mob with torches and pitchforks...

Seriously, can you already disclose if the adventure will

a) include information on the City of Greyhawk?

b) be set in a *generic* environment with suggestions of how to be made part of the other 3e settings? (For me personally, this would be the main point to buy or not to buy the book.)

c) be a comedy approach like the classic TSR module or be a more or less epic adventure?

In any case, good luck with this project!

Yours,

Rafael

Huh. If that's Mordenkainen on the front, what is he doing, plotting against Flash Gordon or something?

 

[Erik Mona]

The extremely generic product description leaves me little room to discuss details without violating my NDA, but I think I can safely confirm that a significant section of the adventure takes place in the City of Greyhawk. Provided you are willing to 'port the Free City into your campaign, you could pretty easily run it in any campaign setting, but come on. It is written to be used in Greyhawk or as a stand-alone, primarily. I certainly didn't spend a lot of time thinking about how to plug it into Eberron or wherever.

And while there are some humorous elements to go along with Zagig's madness, it is not a joke module, and we did not bother to consult the joke version of Castle Greyhawk when researching the book.

We did include several elements from "Greyhawk Ruins," but that is a deeply imperfect adventure, and we certainly didn't follow it slavishly.

You must be joking...

Oh boy. Erik, Jason, James: Congratulations!

I can't wait.

Cheers!
