Latest Wizards Cover Botch

No, he said the cover was the same color (and spine was the same color) as Unearthed Arcana.

So - the spine will be tan and the cover a dark, dark green (almost black in appearance).

...could have sworn he said blue...but hey, it won't be brown.

That is true (except for the spine). (I edited my post above with the link to his posts.)

Stormwrack sounds silly. It's not that I was particularly excited about "Maelstrom," it's just that one is an appropriate but innocuous title and the other is a non-word that sounds silly to say.

And for the record, there is absolutely no reason for the book of the undead to have been called anything but The Necronomicon. NONE!

Hopefully they'll discard "Stormwrack" in favor of "Wet & Wild" or "Slippery When Wet." We wouldn't want the chance that anyone wouldn't understand "Stormwrack," would we?

"Mermaids Gone Wild!"

"Blub, blub, blub"

"Atlantis on 5GP a Day"

"Titanic II: The Sequel!"

The Auld Grump

"Waterdeep."

Oh, wait a minute...

Hi,

Shame about the title -- I liked Maelstrom!

Is there going to be a jungle environment book or did I imagine this?


Cheers

IMO this one of the complaints that are made just because it's WotC. Stormwrack isn't 'dumbed down', but it's just cool to call decisions you wouldn't have made 'dumbing down'.

I don't get how stormwrack is any less intelligent than maelstrom. Does that make me dumb, perhaps?

Ah, the truth comes out!

I agree. If this was Mongoose or Green Ronin I doubt it would have warrented so much as a post let alone a whole thread.

Yes. The Maelstrom RPG is sitting on my shelf at the moment.

Which one? The 1980s Puffin Books' Maelstrom (my first RPG ever) or the more recent Maelstrom Storytelling (which was completely different, but which I also have)?

I have the early one. (See the link above)

one of the spelljammer novels was something or other with Maelstrom in the title.

The Maelstrom's Eye by Roger E. Moore, book three of the six-book Cloakmaster Cycle.
