[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7743014, member: 37579"] It could also be a board game or a card game. Or referring to the Drizzt book due this September. Or she could have misspoke and was thinking of the spring 2019 book. But she did say it was something she did not [I]work[/I] on, since she only worked on two of the three. So dice would fit. Heck, so would Dungeon Tiles or a map pack. Design work is design work, and doing art orders would be part of her job. Right. And they’ve already begun work on the spring 2019 book. (But they were working on editing the May 2018 book as late as a couple months ago, so the fall books aren’t finished yet.) The point is they would be hard pressed to get three books written within four months. Because whether they wrote it right now or six months ago, to get a book out in November and then December they’d need to be writing both at the same time. They’d be trying to get two books done in the same time they normally do one. Which is still assuming those are the books. No shortage of other possibilities. Regardless, I’m curious what you mean by “not hard to write”. Waterdeep would be easier as there’s a couple books already. But that still means researching, collating, updating, fixing contradictions, and the like. And you pretty much need to rewrite every word. So not very “easy”. Still not sure that’d be the best book. That’s super niche when most gamers don’t play in the Realms. Undermountain would be a big mega dungeon which would be a bear to write since you need to design and redesign dungeons, rooms, floors, etc. While thinking of new traps and magic and weirdness. That would be much, much harder than an overland adventure as dungeons are very space compact. Plus, that’s be releasing two adventure a couple months apart. They’d compete with themselves. Whatever Catacomb is, it probably is not an adventure. Or an art book. Or many other options I posted above. But, again, these codenames were revealed five months ago. If there was another unknown book in the works due a month after Catacomb, where is it’s codename and Amazon listing? [/QUOTE]
