Hmm, Complete champion and expedition to Greyhawk for me.

Otehrs, well, they range from unneeded(FR and Ebberon) to actively disliked (drow).

Feel free to substitute hated for disliked in the last sentence.

Thanks for the excellent post Knightfall

Well, I guess we can officially get Erik Mona to talk about his big project now, maybe?

Kind of disappointed it isn't going to be a treatment of the seminal expedition module, "Expedition to the Barrier Peaks". A mixture of D&D with D20 Future elements would hit the spot. Don't recall anything about Castle Greyhawk itself, other than it having something to do with evil demigods, demons, and the Amazing Drider-Man being sealed up in it.

I see the MMV has a mind flayer on the cover. Hope we get some interesting variant mind flayers rather than layering class levels onto a creature with CR & HD of 8.

Finally, a long end to the Erik Mona's Secret Project conspiracy.

MMV looks like the same setup as MMIV...bummer.

Agreed. :\

I find myself unable to get very excited about any of these. The Castle Greyhawk book seems like it'll be in the same format as the Castle Ravenloft one, and while other people seemed to like them, I didn't care for the two-page encounter spreads at all. Likewise, a MM5 that's in the same format at the MM4 doesn't seem like anything to get all hot and bothered over. The drow book looks interesting, I admit, but I wonder if I'm reaching my saturation point on the Complete books.

Maybe I'm just becoming jaded, but these all seem like products that somehow fall just a bit short of being exciting.

So that's Erik's project, along with James and Jason. Seems so obvious. I think I can find room on my shelf for it.

Complete Champion also has a spot, if it's anywhere as nifty as Complete Mage.

The Forge of War- dude. I had been making plans to start my next Eberron game during the Last War. Looks like I'll be holding off starting that until summer time (leaves me time to finish Age of Worms, and I think one of my players is buying me Shackled City, so it's not like I won't have anything to run until then).

I don't know.. MMV could be good. Not that I would know anything about that...

I wouldn't count on it just yet. The gag is still on pretty tight. At least we can admit the project exists now...

The stress of keeping it a secret was killing me.

Something has struck me about the current run of "Expedition to..." series. We have Castle Ravenloft, Greyhawk Ruins, Undermountain and the Demonweb Pits (so far). In other words, one each from what might be described as the Ravenloft, Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms and Planescape settings (EttDP has been described as more Planescape inspired than a reworking of Q1, and although EtCR isn't set in the Ravenloft demiplane, the connection is strong).

Does anyone else think that this is intentional - one expedition each for the big campaign settings of yore? Anyone think that we might see some more along this line later in the year?

Expedition to the City by the Silt Sea? Expedition to the Rock of Bral?
