Fiery Dragon has Sword & Sorcery license?

[catsclaw227]

Heh. I wouldn't expect a company like Fiery Dragon to be able to publish novels through the mainstream channels. But I appreciate the fact that there's still an interest.

Aww come on Ari, you guys are pretty well connected... Maybe a few envelopes, plant some questionable evidence, snap some damaging photos, and there you go! Lucrative publishing deal.

In point of fact, I was talking to the White Wolf fiction department, and we were discussing the possibility of me writing a Scarred Lands novel trilogy--which would have heavily involved the Autumn King--but that project died when WW moved out of the D20 market.

What type of scope would that novel have had?

One of the things I think WW blew with SL is their first series of novels was just too big and made too many huge changes to the setting right off the bat.

Well, in terms of area covered and the amount of Ghelspad involved in the plot, it was a pretty large scope. And it delved a lot into some of the mythology of the gods and the titans.

But in terms of permanent changes to the way the setting would be played or presented? Not many at all. It wasn't what, in Forgotten Realms, is called a Realms-Shaking Event, though a few elements of it came close.

Vesh!

It was the only area of Ghelspad that really didn't get any treatment at all (which was odd given that it seemed that a lot of the canon seemed to imply that that's where the PC's would most easily be from)

Someone knows when the new Creature Collection precisely hits the shelves in October? Any news from Fiery Dragon Productions?
I am really excited about that new book!



Thanks!

There wasn't much done with the northwest and far west either, Darakeene and Dunahnae, and Perforated Plains and Albadia could have had some nice stuff done.

Vertigens, please.

How could I have forgotten Albadia?

Yes, add Albadia to Vesh and Darakeene for things I'd like to see. Actually put Albadia at the top of the list.

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.

IR Scarred Lands fan.

Course, I really have about zero interest in 4e, so probably "not the droid you are looking for".

The fact that Scarred Lands was pretty much written as a custom fit to many D&D tropes as they existed in 3e (e.g., druids are big in SL, but so far absent in 4e), and given the current state of the GSL makes for an interesting predicament for folks doing conversion work under the current GSL.

Darakeene was fully developped by the french magazine D20 Magazine a few years ago (it doesn't exist no more)... The french publisher has got the right to develop this part of Ghelspad and it became official stuff for the french roleplayers. So "french Darakeene" is different from original one. It is possible to find all that stuff but, well, it's in la langue de Molière...
