Upcoming Releases. What Are You Really Looking Forward To?

[Minicol]

I'm looking forward to Og, Expedition to Greyhawk, and that's about it. I got a lot of books at Gen Con so I'm still trying to get through all of them.

In order :

Everything from Paradigm Concept, such as the Psionics book (just got it), the new Codex Arcanis, and the adventure compilation.
The Green Ronin "Game of Thrones" Game and anything else they can come with
PATHFINDER !!!! and everything Paizo
Every other D20 3.5 product from every other publisher, while they are still here in stock.
I am late on collecting Expeditious retreat and Goodman for instance.

No wizards products : I have already all those I care for. :\
(Well Ok, for the sake of the collection, I will buy them anyway. It's just unlikely I will ever enjoy them or actually use them in a game).

*resurrects thread*

I thought we could start over with post-GenCon stuff.

What I'm looking forward to:

- Requiem for Rome


What about you?

What is Requiem for Rome exactly ? I am interested ?

Hello Stereofm!

Requiem for Rome is a hardcover supplement for Vampire: The Requiem that gives all the context and tools necessary to run Chronicles set in the Eternal City. The authors have indicated that the background would be set around the 4th or 5th century A.D., but you could easily run other Roman eras using the book's information.

I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Expedition to Undermountain
Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk
Tegal Manor
City of Brass
Pathfinder
Drow of Underdark
Eternal Champion books for Runequest
Elder Evils
Exemplars of Evil
Tome of Artifacts
Reaper PPM

I need a adjust my list now that we've had a 4e announcement. I have already gotten Tome of Artifacts, City of Brass, EttRG, and I subscribe to Pathfinder and Gamemastery.

I would remove Elder Evils and Exemplars of Evil unless the have some nice generic use in 4e. The only real 3.5e/d20 products I might get now are:

• Castle Whiterock
• Some stuff from Paradigm concepts (Codex Arcanis revised, Year of Ill Harvest)
• Rules Compendium (MAYBE)

Non-d20 stuff I might buy would be:

• Toss up between Savage Worlds of Solomon Kane and Witch Hunter
• I might look into WFRP... but that might take a financial commitment that I don't want to make yet since I don't have players yet.
• Green Ronin "Game of Thrones" - sounds good. Is this a d20 game or something different?

No love for Eamonvale Incursion?

Also Pathfinder.

 

[Dan Bell]

I'm looking forward to the redone "Kingdom of Rethem" for Harnworld by Columbia Games.

Green Ronin "Game of Thrones" - sounds good. Is this a d20 game or something different?

From what I've heard, it isn't d20, but I don't know for sure. However, there are sessions of it scheduled for Con on the Cob in November, so hopefully someone who plays will post a description (if they aren't NDA'd ).

Also, it's being called the "A Song of Ice and Fire RPG" (the title of Martin's whole series, rather than just the first book).

Rules Compendium

And then goodbye WotC!


Conan RPG Second Edition
Return to the Road of Kings (SEPT)
Player's Guide to the Hyborean Age (OCT)
Bestiary of the Hyborean Age (DEC)


By the way, anyone know if Return to the Road of Kings will be an update/remake of The Road of Kings or will it simply be an expansion? In other words, will I want both?

 

[Drowbane]

Monte's WoD, Pathfinder, 4e.

Nothing else comes to mind... the 4e announcement pretty much closed my "3.5-wallet". Although I still intend to pick up a second copy of both the XPH and the Bo9S.

edit: there is another Drow of the Underdark coming out? Nice, I have room for that on my shelves (assuming they don't F it up).

Just found some more information about Requiem for Rome:

Vampire: Requiem For Rome
October 2007

Blood. Sex. Lies. Rome.In the fire-lit nights of ancient Rome, before vampire society was plunged into the Dark Ages, when pagan priests ruled Kindred society and secret cults were first forming around the legend of a Roman spearman cursed by the Christian God, the Kindred dwelt beneath Rome in a city of the dead. They walked the streets by night, manipulated the noble families of the Senate and haunted the orgiastic feasts of the age. They were hailed as demigods and reviled as ancestors rejected from the afterlife. Learn how the Kindred became the Damned, and how a phantom spearman brought down the kingdom of the undead. A gameplay expansion and setting book for Vampire: The Requiem

· Explore a rich and vivid vision of ancient Rome, overflowing with bloody passion, mystic intrigue and glorious hedonism

_ from the beginning of the Empire to the ruin of vampire society.

· This is a player-focused guide to the grotesque and beautiful
world of nighttime Rome, with new character-creation guidelines, lore on the ancient clans and covenants, forgotten blood-magic and finely focused gameplay featuring new rules for formal debate, coercion and the weaponry of the age.

· Do battle with barbarian vampires, uncover the secrets of mystery cults, rule a family of the Roman aristocracy and change the course of Kindred history in the Necropolis beneath Rome

_ if you can survive the gruesome attacks of the ancient monsters hunting the Kindred.
