WotC 2006 September to December Catalog info, updated with novels

Wait a minute... Star Wars Starship Battles has the Super Star Destroyer Executor as a standard fig that is supposed to be in scale with tie-fighters and xwing

s, right?

If one x-wing, or even a miniature intending to represent a whole squadron was the size of a D&D imp figure, wouldn't that make the Executor something like three feet long?

Doesn't really bother me, I just thought it funny.

EDIT... yeah.. the damn thing is officially 19 kilometers long. To scale with the rest of the ships, huh?

I'd like to see some pics of the SW ships. I haven't picked up any Star Wars minis, but tactical ship-to-ship combat with minis would suck me in. I'm an old Star Fleet Battles fan.

The adventure list looks pretty exciting -- looking forward to Castle Ravenloft.

It is. And few more worthy of having it happen to them, Ari.

You're doing a FL product? I feel for you. If there's anything tougher than designing those maps (and I'm sure that the DDM team keep bouncing back changes to you), I don't know what it is. Or have they just provided the maps and said, "here you go - write something!"?

Words are easy. DDM Maps, not so much.

Cheers!

They have--and thank all the beings in all the heavens for it!

--provided me with the maps to work with.

I hate designing maps. There's a reason I'm a writer and not a cartographer, and anyone who's seen any of my maps will attest to that.

Well, here is the info from WotC's catalog

Any info on D20 Modern products, especially the the rumored D20 Dark•Matter?

With all of the new WotC modules using the new Delve format, I wonder if there will be any Dungeon adventures that try it out.

No. There was a thread on the Paizo boards specifically adressing this possibility, and the official answer was a resounding no. Takes up too much space to be economical in fitting three full-sized adventures per magazine.

Demiurge out.

Complete Mage
Expedition to Castle Ravenloft
Cityscape
Fiendish Codex II: Tyrants of the Nine Hells

These, plus Blood War and SW Starships, particularly attract my attention.

No mention of any d20 Modern. All of the roleplaying was D&D. In fact, of the new items in the catalog, everything was D&D related except the Star Wars minis and 1 Magic the Gathering novel. (They have not listed the Avalon Hill games or ccgs in the catalog for a long time.)

I'm more interested in those than the novels.

Ari, now that the solicitation is out, can you say what parts of the book you worked on? Also, does this book cover the druid sects, as well as the clerical faiths?

Hmmm, if it's a waste of space to even try it in Dungeon then that doesn't sound like a good sign for WotC.
