Dragon Compendium Volume 2

[Razz]

I wonder what their ploy is? I wish they would give some statement as to why no word was given yet.

Who is the right person to send email to at WotC to tell them we want to see this and the Age of Worms compiled edition (which I'm personally more intestested in)? Not that they're not reading this, but I'm talking about a more formalized approach that people can take if they really want to see this product.

Something along the lines of...

I am your customer, I spend x on your products per year, and I want you to green light this licensed product.

If you're willing to stop spending money on their products over it, or are losing faith in their brand because of the red tape, tell them that too.

I suppose you could skip the business planning folks and just launch an email campaign to Hasbro's CEO if you really have a large enough base that it will get attention at that level. YMMV

That has nothing to do with it. They own it all, why would they care if it uses their IP?

The idea that Paizo would have to ask permission to republish something from the magazine has led me to believe that the license doesn't grant you the right to it, and WotC has a history of saying "no" to companies who try to use their IP.

It seems like a reasonable assumption to me.

WotC has been fickle; i mean, they have allowed other companies to publish Dragonlance, Ravenloft, and (wasn't there a third setting that I can't think of at the moment?), however they sometimes say no to things. they've let projects like the Tome of Horrors gets through and be OGL. they did let the SCAP and DC1 get through as well. maybe they're willing to let paizo do it, but are waiting for the right time or want a specific deal that paizo has yet to make?

Boz,

Wotc is fickle. Now THERE'S the understatement of the decade!

Joe,

I think you need to check who's brewing your coffee man.

I'm like Rosarch in his secret identity with the sign of doom man. Doom!

 

[Nightfall]

Well doom and gloom is for sure. I think you were born under the gamer sign of Eeyore.

I Just Got Volume 1 and It Looks Great!

My campaign has been running since 2002 (starting with 3.0) and we're still using 3.5. One of my players got me Volume 1 for my birthday and it looks great. I'm particularly happy to see the old orange, purple and yellow dragons brought back from 1982 with 3.5 rules! I have two questions:

1. Can anyone direct me to the CRs of the three dragons? The stat block for each one says "CR: See Table" but I'm not seeing the dragons' CR either on their own tables or on the CR table on page 172.

2. Did Wizards ever produce a Dragon Compendium Volume 2? I did a search on Amazon.com and didn't find it, and a Google search led me to this thread.

Thanks!

Necro-ing a seven-year-old thread is unlikely to get a ton of responses, but the short answer is no, I don't believe another volume was ever produced. I looked hard for it a little while back and came up empty.

Thread-o-mancy strikes again!
