Elder Evils Updated One At A Time?

[Glyfair]

And I know what you mean about google fu. Took me a little to find the quote about there being a 4e update on those products at all.

Turns out I found it. It was in a WotC GenCon report here.

Eberron in RPGs

Again, first a look back:

* Feb 2008: City of Stormreach (the 4th Edition conversion guide has been turned over and is currently sitting with the R&D development team).
* March: Adventurer's Guide to Eberron.
* Now: DDI's Playing Warforged, Expeditionary Dispatches, and the Artificer playtest articles are already online and available to read. In the future, you'll see previews of next year's Eberron Campaign Guide.

Is that saying in Feb 2008 that an update to 4e was ready?

No. It was listing the Eberron stuff for the year. It came out in Feb.

The bit about it being in development was just a side note. That means at the time (GenCon) it was in development.

I'm pretty sure Scott posted, on this forum, just before Christmas about these updates. I esp remember about the Elder Evils and it was pretty much ready to go and I think they were going to release it through DDI.

Good luck finding the post.

EDIT: LOL @ the pessimism:

In editing right now. Likely up in a few weeks.

Hmmm looks like they are ready to go, I wonder what's holding them up?

Thanks again for finding that Glyfair!

Well that sounds pretty positive. If not altogether accurate. Thanks for finding that vagabundo.

I'm still interested in these books and what form the updates will take.

I found them online for €14 each and they look good, if I can use them in my 4e game I'll bite...

Wow... I had completely forgotten Elder Evils was supposed to get updated to 4E stats. It would be mightly cool, and generate a lot of goodwill.

Personally, I'd expect them to be trickled out through Dungeon or Dragon, too, although I'm thinking that wouldn't fly with the non-DDIers. If they're done, maybe they're being held back for when there is a gap in the magazine submissions and they need a plug.

So the WotC definition of "a few weeks" is currently "11" (and counting).

(Just noting for furture reference when translating WotC speak.)

That's the current one? But the GSL "few weeks" were even longer! So they are improving?

They *did* release the errata on 3.5 books they promised. Took them quite some time, though.
