(Just noticed this on amazon.com).

An omnibus compilation book of the recent issues of the Dungeons & Dragon comic book series by IDW. (This omnibus has a release date of July 5, 2011).

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Dungeons-Dragons-1-Shadowplague-HC/dp/1600109225"]Amazon.com: Dungeons & Dragons Volume 1: Shadowplague HC (9781600109225): John Rogers, Andrea Di Vito: Books[/ame]


It will cover the "Shadowplague" story arc, which appears to be the first five issues.

From the product preview, its pretty clear that some of what was to be Ravenloft has moved into Heroes of Shadow (play a vampire!), probably also the Gloomwrought box (despair deck), and maybe BoVD (hmm...)

Perhaps this is one explanation as to why they're reediting the "Heroes of Shadow" book to a hardcover format, and delaying the release date by a month.

If I was calling the shots at WotC, I would probably be doing the same thing too. Put that already finished Ravenloft stuff to good use, which can be used immediately by the players.

Also interesting is that the Gloomwrought box set now has "player's option" book in it, according to the DDXP new products seminar summary. This "player's option" book could be more material originally intended for Ravenloft?

In WotC's online product catalog listing for Gloomwrought and the amazon.com [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Shadowfell-Gloomwrought-Dungeons-Dragons-Supplement/dp/0786958480"]listing[/ame], there is no mention of a player's book. It explicitly mentions that it's a DM specific product.

(Product description reproduced here for posterity).

Terror and suspense await you in the Shadowfell.

This boxed set is for Dungeon Masters interested in taking their heroes on excursions to the Shadowfell, as well as Dungeon Masters looking for a sinister setting in which to run thrilling urban adventures. A 128-page book presents the fully detailed city of Gloomwrought, complete with location descriptions, maps, quests, and game statistics for monsters and villains. It also includes provides information on other locations heroes are likely to visit beyond the city's dark walls. In addition, the box contains a 32-page book of encounters set in Gloomwrought and beyond, two card stock sheets of die-cut monster and villain tokens, a foldout battle map, and a deck of 30 cards that DMs can use to add suspense to any Shadowfell-based adventure.
