Erik Mona's WOTC project

Well, I technically _could_ divulge the details, but doing so would tank my career, so I'm going to stick with "can't" for now.

Details, details...

Please don't tell me Google could have done that for me 10 times faster.

If y'all ruin Eric's career before Age of Worms is done, my players will kill me. I am famous for starting games, then getting sidetrekked by something new. I am kinda jonseing to run the Vampires of Waterdeep Arc, and may have to start a 2nd group on another night, much to my social lifes detriment. Unless I can convince some single ladies to bring some Smithwicks to gaming....Jeez, that would be the best.

Y'know, during the D&D product seminar at GenCon, someone asked about a Draconomicon-style book for the fiends. The reply was to the effect that they don't announce books ahead of the catalog, but that a release on June 6, 2006 might make us very happy...

So in year/month/day format, that date becomes 2006/6/6 ... yep, I think the forces of evil will be getting an overhaul next summer. My question is whether the celestials will also be included, because I somehow don't see a seperate book on angels selling well.

Hey! Don't you dare put Erik's career in jeopardy!

I don't want to have to re-pitch those articles.

Lol. Actually, even if I had the power to get Erik to spill the beans, I wouldn't. I tend towards good alignments.

Bah. I don't care what Erik says, *I* know he was born to write a Ptolus-sized Greyhawk HC campaign setting book.

So start writing.

Amen,

Maybe he's just saying it's not Greyhawk to throw everyone off the scent?

I think they should make a Celestial one to counter the Fiendish one. After all, no one wants to go through the prejudice of the 80's again eh?

I'd buy the Celestial one. And I believe it will sell well. Why?

Fiend Book= scared, surprised, possibly dead players; wonderful villains; awesome adventure; oodles of slimy evil

Celestial Book= happy, giddy, holy players; awesome protagonists; oodles of sticky goodness to destroy the oodles of slimy evil

And the best combination of all: an all out Armageddon-type campaign! Think about it, if they make a fiend book ala Draconomicon-style, no one could resist buying the opposite to include an all out Heaven vs Hell campaign. It's classic and never gets old.

mind bondage

Right now, I wish the right wing religious zealots were right about DND teaching players how to cast real spells. THis way we can all pool our power and cast a spell to make Erik "spill the beans"

Yes!!
We should cast "Mind Bondage" of Eric Mona, and make him buy us
$600 ( <- adjusted for inflation)
worth of Dungeons and Dragons manuals...(and while he's at it, tell us his new project)

Celestial Book= happy, giddy, holy players; awesome protagonists; oodles of sticky goodness to destroy the oodles of slimy evil

Not necessarily. Celestials aren't all pink fluffy bunnies, either. There are lots of situations where the heroes find themselves set against a Celestial that's acting on a mandate from above.
