Fiery Dragon has Sword & Sorcery license?

I am very excited about this.

I would be almost everything I could find that was Scarrd Lands 4e.

We know that Nightfall was one of the Scarred Lands fan "experts", but who were some of the other EnWorld posters that had a lot of SL knowledge?

I would be curious if any of them already started converting some stuff.

IIRC, Ari Marmell was a contributing writer, so he'd probably be a great resource.

The original books were released before the scarred lands campaign setting. They were based off of the homebrew setting WW people used when they played D&D... They put the flavor in there to color their books, and people liked it so much they decided to release the campaign setting.

This... excites me... A LOT!

That's right, I remember now. I think he also mentioned that he would be very interested in participating in a 4e SL project.

(note: my memory sucks, so don't try to give my post the same credence as a Westlaw citation.)

IIRC, the Creature Collection was Clark Peterson's baby....

Interesting.

Not all Clark though. White Wolf used to have a magazine, White Wolf Magazine, and it had many a monster in it. Several of them wound up in the Creatre Collection, although some of the forms they took, such as the Mithril Golem, were far different than their original ones.

According to this article on gamingreport.com, Fiery Dragon now has the Sword & Sorcery license for 4E. This is the first I heard of this. Visiting their site, apparently they will do Relics & Rituals and the Creature Collection.

Anyone heard any more details?

I've known about this for a while but now that James has announced it I can talk about it.

Fiery Dragon has taken over the Sword & Sorcery imprint from White Wolf. It does not include any of the Necromancer, Malhavoc or World of Warcraft material but I suspect that hardly comes as a surprise. It DOES include all the Scarred Lands stuff so expect to see new material for this setting being produced for 4E.

For any more details you're better to query FieryJames, FieryTodd, or FieryJason.

NB: I'm not an employee of Fiery Dragon, just a long time friend of the folks who are. So don't take anything I say as an official statement of the company.

Other than myself, Rumere was a name I recall on most Scarred Lands threads. Unfortunately, you won't get any conversion notes from me, unless you want it converted to Pathfinder RPG.

Interesting. I might be in for some of these books. But, the creature book really needs to have stuff that is unique in it, not just what the books had before.

I hope they flesh out the kinds of things that made the setting unique, like astronomy, for example.

I recall the both of you. Even if there are others converting some SL crunch to 4e, you can still be a resource for geopolitics/theology/myth/lore/NPC Motivations, etc.

Have fun running it with Pathfinder RPG!
