reveal said:Technically, it is a new product, even if it's just a rehash of an old one. Regardless, I hope this isn't it. I doubt it is because Monte said it had nothing to do with Wizards, so I'm still optimistic at this point.
Right. It's a Malhavoc product. Wizards didn't do crud for this.

You know Monte's sitting at his computer right now, with his finger on the mouse button and his cursor on Reply saying "I'll just give them a little hint; just one" and then Sue slaps him on the back of his head and says "What are you, an idiot?"

Perhaps some sort of Eldritch campaign setting/world that encompasses all the "generic" material that Malhavoc has released so far.
Monte Cook's World of Eldritch Adventure or some-such?
Maybe they need a map or two.

Hmmm...
I believe some of the most important tidbits have been that this product a) took several truck loads of time to develop, b) goes right to the heart of 3e, but will not be quite apparent at first, c) required a bucket load of stat block and d) is really cool, but will have to be seen first-hand to appreciate the full 20d6 of coolness.
Now, I do not profess to be a master of this reasoning-out business (yet, muahahaha...?), but I will start with a thought or two that I may add to later.
I think the last point may be the most revealing in terms of trying to intuit the type of product this is going to be. However cool it may sound, or how well it was written, it can only be fully understood once you see it, so it must have some of physical presentation that goes beyond the standard of d20, whether it be cards, miniatures, a board game or something entirely different.
Another thing, which I don't quite remember the exact wording of, was whether it appealed to the core of 3e, the core or d20, or both... A few different interpretations of this could apply. One, if it is the core of d20, it may have to do with the system of resolution, or the way statistics are treated, or some other such rules based application. If it is the core of 3e, that could of been meant as the core of d20, or it could be viewed as the core goals behind the creation of 3e and the new edition of D&D...
Uh... give me some more time to think... God knows Monte has taken his sweet allocation of it!

Small side note: Let me know if my rambling seems to you to be:
a) reduntant
b) stupid
c) brilliant ( please vote for this one
)
d) useful
e) mediocre
Just a sort of gauge as to how I'm doing.
