Yup! As a comic book geek, our equivalent is the (mercifully declining) "POW! WHAM! BIFF! Comics aren't just for kids anymore!" line. Writers trying to "write their way in" to an article fall for it every time.

Baseless speculation: Since the screen is more generically titled as "Of Ships and the Sea," rather than taking on the name of the book to which it's attached (as has been the case for the other GF9 screens), maybe this indicates it's meant to be used for multiple upcoming themed supplements...

Just want to point out it's DiTillio.

Ah, I see, my old foe, Facebook! No wonder I didn't know. I seem to remember Omaha being well-represented at last year's GHC (hell, you and I probably interacted at some point). I'm all signed up now (again), at any rate.

I DMed AL at last year's Gamehole Con, but this is the first I'm hearing about this. Should I have gotten an email?

I'll plug for the Troll Lord Games guys and point out that their Codex Egyptium KS (Egyptian mythology for fantasy games, plus an apparently extensive rework of their old Codex Celtarum volume) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/676918054/castles-and-crusades-codex-aegyptus ends in 5 days and...

Yup, my money's on something in the vein of Adventures in Middle-Earth. Adventures in the Ninth World!

This makes sense, as Darnielle has always had pretty strong nerd tendencies ("Lovecraft in Brooklyn," anyone?). They haven't done an outright D&D album yet, but the band Thee Oh Sees has albums called Orc and Carrion Crawler; they're extremely prolific, so I'm convinced they'll eventually just...

You made the right call.

"They all have a release date of 5th February 2019, though they are already available in local game stores and from Gale Force 9."

...Sometimes I'm glad I'm not more entrenched in this hobby than I already am.

If these things are just going to get reported as regular news items, would a name change even be necessary if there's no column to name?

Interesting that the cover goes with "tabletop adventure game" and not "roleplaying game" or a version thereof.

Ah, I understand now! This makes sense. Thanks for the detailed answer.

So is GF9 going in a different direction with their D&D games? This one seems more streamlined and doesn't come in the multiple versions (painted/unpainted) like the last few.

Can I use this space to vent a little about my Free RPG Day experience? My local store, where I'm a know-my-face-but-not-my-name regular, wasn't listed as participating on the Free RPG Day website. Several other stores, much further away from me, were listed, but I thought I'd swing by anyway...

For those who care about such things, there's a product page up now for a Dragon Heist-themed dice set (similar to what they did for Tomb of Annihilation). It comes with a hit point tracker and the standard array of dice, including an extra d20 (which, based on the photo, is huge for some...

I bet you're right. Both the titling convention ("Waterdeep: _______") and the logo treatment on the cover suggest it would be part of a series.

Ianathar's Iuide to Iverything confirmed.
