The fate of the Advanced Player's Guide

[Vayden]

Put me down for a pre-order as soon as possible. I've got a player who would kill for a "nature-themed caster" druid - I think she wild-shaped twice in 9 levels in our 3.5 campaign before we converted.

Sorry if this has been asked before:

But when is the release date for this?

Joe said that he's pretty sure an October release date is "possible," though we're not 100% certain yet.

Just out of curiousity, what are your ideas for the Sorcerer? Since the 4e change, a lot of the differences between the wizard and sorcerer are gone.

Can we order this yet?

Do we have an ISBN yet or are we still waiting on that?

Heh. I had a number of ideas, none of which felt right. Thankfully, since--as you point out--converting sorcerers to 4E is really easy (just make them wizards), and since sorcerers don't have a pedigree in older editions the way the other classes did, we didn't feel constrained to include them.

See, unlike the other classes, who had schticks that we could bring into 4E to fill an existing gap, the sorcerer's "gap" is already filled. Again, the wizard does it. So we'd have had to make up a brand new class, and what would be the point in that in a book intended to bring old options into the new edition?

So yeah, I'm kinda stumped on the sorcerer. I'm interested in seeing what WotC does with it.

Urf. That, I haven't the slightest idea. Entirely Joe's department, this is.

First of all, that was very classy of Clark/Orcus.

Second of all, grats to Ari and Joseph Browning/Expeditious Retreat Press.

Third. I just got back from 2 weeks on Crete (with no I-net), so someone fill me in. Did Necro ditch 4e entirely or just the APG?

Thanks.

Clark's not happy with certain aspects of the GSL. He's working with WotC, trying to get certain details clarified before he goes forward. He still hopes to take Necromancer 4E, but it likely won't be for a little while yet, even assuming it happens.
