Hmmm, OK, so Matt, this is what you've been up to, eh?

I suppose everyone else has long since heard of this? Wonder what goodies there will be.

Yeah, I bought it in college...

Umm, not THAT ... DSH.

I am looking forward to this one, but I have not heard anything concrete about it yet.

It was originally listed as the "Dungeoneer's Handbook", but otherwise you know what we know.

Yeah, zilch basically, lol. I wonder what the aim of this product is? The old 1e DSG and WSG were filled with skill system rules, some added equipment, and a bunch of world building resources for the DM. 4e already has the skill stuff covered, MME has hit equipment pretty well, though I suppose there is always room for more. There could always be more updated and polished encounter elements like traps and terrain and terrain powers and etc for the DM.

Just doesn't seem like there is quite the level of need that there was for say the WSG in particular in 1e where mechanics were rather lacking for a lot of stuff, etc. I guess we'll find out eventually.

Maybe it will have the mule!

Seriously though knowing WotC it will have stuff for players (a new race, new subclass) and stuff for gm. I can see it as a replacement for all the stuff the dmk didn't have.

 

[Nemesis Destiny]

Interesting.

Since it is called a "Survival Handbook" I wonder if it won't be completely player-focused and similar to the Player's Strategy Guide. I sure hope not.

Maybe it will have the mule!

Doubtful, but it may have the donkeyhorse.

 

[the Jester]

I just hope it's not another "Here are spoilers for all the great old adventures your dm might ever want to use!" kind of book, like the 3e version.

 

[AbdulAlhazred]

I never saw the 3e version, so I'm not sure what you mean.

Anyway, it BETTER have that donkeyhorse!
