Dragon Compendium Volume 2

[Nightfall]

That makes two of us Psion. I liked DC 1 but I mostly kept hoping for conversions of old monsters, old classes and yeah spells too. (I know, I know people got spells but there's dozens more that haven't been touched on that Dragon did in the past). Plus maybe a few planar thingies too.

There were NO spells in DC 1 because Spell Compendium was coming out.

Yup. I even recognized the seven sin domains in SC from one of my earmarked articles in the Dragon.

I could turn this into a "what I'd like to see redone in 3e" thread, but I think we've had that one...

Anoother vote here for less 3e-era material and more from the days of 1e and 2e. Recent back-issues are easy enough to pick up and convert. It's the classic era stuff that I want to see updated. Not to say that there is no good stuff in DC1 from the 3e era, or that there were no cool articles from the old days in there. But the best stuff remains untapped.

So? Doesn't mean we couldn't have had OTHER spells from previous dragons before that could have gone in there too.

I mean what about say a Dalamar's spell or two, Dragonlance spells, or even Planscape type dealios? Ravenloft? Come on...

 

[Mystery Man]

I thought the Dragon Compendium rocked on toast. Lead the charge Razz!

 

[Razz]

Do you have a source for the second part of this claim?

Actually yes, it's in the Dragon magazine message boards on Paizo's website, under the thread "Dragon Compendium Volume 2???"

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Yes ... though I'd like to see an Age of Worms hardcover first.

 

[Soel]

it has to be better than the first one.

The Jester???

I hope so as well. Still, there's lots of gold to be mined...

If you mean Mike McArtor's statements:

1. I can't talk about Paizo products too far out in advance, but I too would really like to see DCII in 2007. Or ever. Email Wizards of the Coast and demand they let us do it. ;D

and

2. It's because Paizo is a licensee of WIzards of the Coast. We pay for the right to produce actual official Dungeons & Dragons content (as opposed to D&D compatible d20 content that almost every other company can produce). As part of that licensing agreement, Wizards of the Coast takes ownership of everything we create that is official D&D content. Our license gives us the ability to create two magazines every month. Anything beyond that we can only create with permission.

Then you have taken a serious liberty with your statement about WotC "taking their sweet time".
Mike's statement did not indicate that Paizo has requested permission.
Nor did he state when they requested it (if indeed they did).
Nor did he state that WotC has NOT granted permission.

At best, we know that:
Mike McArtor would like to see a DCII in 2007, and
Mike McArtor cannot talk much about future Paizo products.

Go ahead and write WotC requesting DCII, but save the innuendo for another time. Saying that WotC is taking its time on granting permission is a jab that is not needed.
