Not to be a threadjacker or anything, but fans of Mystara should take note of the upcoming Dungeon #142. Not only does it contain the first Savage Tide adventure to take place on the Isle of Dread, but also has a low-level adventrue that makes for a perfect lead-in for an old classic. Which old classic? Let's just say that the word "Zargon" might be appearing on this issue's cover...

Threadjackers for Zargon unite! ;)

I so, so, so want WotC to release one of these. Talk about a project tailormade for the new Fantastic Locations series.

Man, the Lost City is such a freaking cool module. I'm so thrilled to see it back in some form in the pages of Dungeon. (No Expedition to the Lost City, then, I guess, but that was always a remote possibility.)

Toon would likely be a better ruleset for that, or True20, but I'll take it in whatever form I can get it.

How about a Blackmoor project featuring the Inn Between the Worlds/Blackmoor Comeback Inn?

I love that place! But I love Greyhawk more, and so does Erik.

I would be odd if WOTC produced Castle Greyhawk, since Gary Gygax and Troll Lords are publicly working on something very similar to the original castle for Castle & Crusades.

So, maybe Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, maybe Expedition to the Yatils (Tsojcanth and Tharizdun), maybe something new in Greyhawk, or maybe something completely unGreyhawk related.

Big page count and adventure path like, I'm guessing . . .

It's virtually certain at this point that there will be an Expedition to Castle Greyhawk (they showed the cover at Gen Con, and I can't think of another Expedition module that would have a picture of Castle Greyhawk on the cover except maybe Expedition to Mordenkainen's new house which is right next to Castle Greyhawk). I don't think WotC has ever changed its schedule based on what other publishers are doing. Other RPGs are such a tiny fragment of the market that it's barely relevant. WotC's Castle Greyhawk will be the "mainstream," D&D3.5 version that you can find at Barnes & Noble or B. Dalton's. Troll Lords' Castle Zagig will be the niche, Castle & Crusades version that you can mail-order or find at extremly well-stocked specialty stores. If everyone who planned on getting Castle Zagig refuses to buy Expedition to Castle Greyhawk, it'll probably barely make a dent in the sales.

I don't have hard numbers to back that up, of course; it's just my impression. But it's true that WotC has released books with the same themes as books that d20 publishers (not that Castle Zagig will be d20) have released before.
