D&D 4E The yet still complete list of official 4E D&D products: now with new format!

Its there, very first thing.

Blah, I still can't believe that's it for the 2012 product schedule. Couple the direction of 5e and the sad fact DDI will in no way be able to make the difference, I'm feeling pretty neglected.

Open up the tabs...there is a lot of stuff there, overall.

Except adventures. Definitely could use more of those.

Back in 2008 and 2009, I picked up many of the Goodman 4E modules, mostly for "strip mining".

The same thing can be said about the 2012 release schedule for D&D novels, if one is only interested in printed paper books. It peters out by July, unless one is interested in more hardcover Drizzt and Elminster titles.

WotC has been pretty dreadful about adding novels to its catalog for a while now, and I agree that the release schedule for 2012 seems pretty light. That said, I count five titles scheduled after July, only two of which are Elminster or Drizzt books. But two of the other titles are omnibus reprints, leaving just a single new release that I'm aware of at this point.

Godborn (June 2012)

This title doesn't show up at all on an amazon.com search. Though a page for it does show up via a google search.

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Godborn-Cycle-Night-Book-I/dp/0786954973"]Amazon.com: Godborn: Cycle of Night, Book I (9780786954971): Paul S. Kemp: Books[/ame]


It's listed as "Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available".


For some odd reason, "Godborn" by Kemp does show up in searches on amazon.co.uk and amazon.ca with a November 2012 release date.

Yeah, it looks like the release date for Godborn has been shifted to November (based on this entry in Kemp's blog). That presumably means that Godbound and Godslayer -- the other two titles in the Cycle of Night series -- won't be released until 2013 or possibly even 2014.

What's very strange though is that 2012 will (apparently) be the first year since 1984 with no new Dragonlance titles on the release schedule!

I think the real question is who wants more Drizzt or Elminster over stabs at something new or innovative? And if these people, this supposed majority, do prefer them... how do we stop them?

 

[Echohawk]

I don't mind the Drizzt novels, although I confess that my interest petered out about two thirds of the way through the 23(?) books that currently make up Drizzt's story. To put that another way, there have been many D&D books published over the years which have been a lot worse than Salvatore's writing.
