City of Brass is the last slated release through White Wolf and went to the printer early last week.
For page counters amongst the hordes it is:
Boxed Set
450(or so) pages (Bigger than RAR and bigger than Wilderlands Box page count wise... tho I would say Wilderlands has more "words" in it by about 6-7 pages. Wilderlands also had those cool map posters (A ton of em).
Fantastic interior art by Brian Leblanc and some others. (Most people were dissapointed that Brian's work did not make it into Bard's Gate.) Not to worry this time around. He did the lions share of the interiors and they are AWESOME!
I believe its set up as 3 books. 1 book for setting and adventure, 2nd book for monsters, NPCs and magic items and a map booklet thats like 26 pages.
Very Very cool maps by Ed Skeleton Key Bourelle. The map booklet is being done in an archaic style with special inks
Estimated Release Date: Gen Con 07
Estimated Price? Don't know but you'll probably find out before I do.
City of Brass should be up for pre-order in the coming weeks at the White-Wolf site.
So to answer your question... yeah CoB is definitely coming out and definitely out this year. (It's actually nice to be able to say that).
Now to back off from the thread hijack! Awesome news with Necro and Piazo team up! Thrilled doesn't even come close to describing it.
