Info from the WotC 2007 January to April Catalog

lmao!!

Whiz, was this deliberate, or just the funniest typo I've seen in a long time?

 

[thalmin]

Why is it that these product catalogues never get my name right? For Dragons of Faerun, they had me written as Eytan Burnstein. For the Magic Item Compendium, that have me written as Evan Bernstein. Is it really that hard?? It's absolutely infuriating!

I can't do anything about the catalog, but at least I changed it for this thread.

I feel your pain. About 20 years ago TSR misspelled my name as "Ed Greenwood," and the bastard's really been riding high off that marketing typo for years.

Curse you Greenwood!!!

Hooray.. it finally got listed. Biting my tongue on this one was tough, but not as tough as my next few.

Welcome to the club of the misspelled names. I cannot count how many different ways I have seen my last name misspelled. That damn silent H gets em' every time.

So far I've been lucky but I think I'll hold off on the 1st quarter until I see 2nd quarter.

(Don't worry Jason and Erik, I'll be buying lots of Dragon and Dungeon. )

I wonder if that epic super-adventure series for FR will be the official 3e ender from WotC, similarily as the Vecna adventures did with 2e.

In any case, looks like WotC is really going to release a lot of interesting stuff next year. - I mean, this year, I found nothing from them that could interest me, except maybe Ravenloft.


Another random thought: Where is Kingsholm taken from? (Talking about Barrow of the Forgotten King.) Sounds to me like if WotC wanted to resurrect the good old adventure path.

Buhlmann is my preferred spelling. (I've certainly misspelt it enough times!)

What gets me is when someone misspells my name in response to one of my e-mails, which has my name spelt properly in the address *and* in the signature. Argh!

Cheers!

New adventures would also have a limited shelf life if 4E is looming on the horizon.

Adventures are meant to have a short lifespan.

Barrow of the Forgotten King looks the most interesting, in an old school sorta way. Dungeonscape and Magic Item Compendium (needs a new name,) will get a look. Scoundrel doesn't seem to really offer anything new, but I'll look at it as well.
