That's pretty much exactly what I've been thinking.

City of Peril
Ed Stark
City of Peril contains two beautifully illustrated, double-sided battle maps scaled for Dungeons & Dragons play, as well as a sixteen-page booklet of encounters designed for varying levels of play and for use with the maps.
The battle maps feature fantastic terrain designed to create large, fluid encounters, key scenes, and exciting game sessions. Rather than simple dungeon encounters, these maps evoke the epic struggles that campaign memories are made of. Three of the maps also make ideal battlegrounds for the D&D Miniatures Game play.

I'm a reporter, and I had a source I talked with weekly for three years who never got my name right, even when she had my article in front of her face when she was talking to me on the phone.
cybertalus said:I can't decide if I want you to be correct or not here. If you are correct it means a new edition is close enough on the horizon that it's impacting WotC's release strategy already. If you're not correct, my favorite setting might be in trouble. Of course FR could still be in trouble even with a new edition on the horizon.
I'd like to think the increased adventure output is part of the same strategy as the Basic Game and Player's and DM's Kits to make the game more accessible for new players. Afterall for people who are brand new to DMing, using a published adventure is typically easier than creating their own. Problem is, large and complicated adventures don't fit in with that notion very well.
Eytan Bernstein said:This has got to be the funniest thing I've seen all week. I nearly fell on the floor reading the responses.
Ari, I don't think I'd have much trouble with your name, but I live in a 80% Jewish town on long Island and have a difficult Israeli name myself.
Will, I can't claim to have been listed as Ed Greenwood in anything official, but Candlekeep still has me listed as Ed Greenwood for Dragons of Faerun, bringing the "E" thing to an obscene level.
I was talking with Evan Jamieson the other night and I think that our names were somehow fused from the Dragons of Faerun catalog into an unwholesome amalgum for the Magic Item Compendium.
I went through most of college in Montreal as Etienne because the professors naturally assumed that mine was just some whacky spelling of the French name.
My little cousin, taking after my younger sister who did this all throughour her early childhood, calls me Eye-tan (tan like getting a tan, not tan like wonton or tonto) Birdseed. I think it's a combination of her thinking it's funny and not being able to pronounce it.
Fortunately, Gwendolyn Kestrel is helping me out in getting the name reference corrected so that it doesn't appear that way when the book comes out. She also has a misspelling in one of the catalogs from earlier in the year.
