Wolfgang Baur to write for War of the Burning Sky

E.N. Publishing is positively gleeful to announce that Wolfgang Baur, esteemed veteran of the gaming industry, will be writing one of the adventures for next year's War of the Burning Sky campaign saga.

Mr. Baur's adventure, Sleep, Ye Cursed Child, is the tenth of the series, scheduled for an October 2007 release.

Do you have any idea on the price for each part of the campaign please?

 

[RangerWickett]

Short answer is 'not yet.'

I'm thinking at least $6 for a 20-30 page adventure, but that's not official.

If it's good, I'd even pay more, though in that case, I would expect it to be full color and supported like the Dungeon APs, with forums, web enhancements, downloadable maps and images, etc.

I have some of questions.

1) Are these PDFs or books/magazines that will be shipped? (I am assuming PDFs).
2) Is this an inclusive Levels 1-20 adventure, ie. no need to run anything else to get levels?
3) It is DnD 3.5, right?

thanks,

Yes, yes and yes.

Outstanding!!!

I will be checking back around the end of the month for the next year and buying them.

My Sunday evening group has no desire at all to move on to DnD 4.x when it comes out (we figure mid-late 2008) so they have all agreed to donate money to the "cause" to buy as many complete 3.5 campaigns as possible before they go away.

Right now, we are playing SCAP, and I have the two new Dungeon APs, another 1-20 from Mongoose(next one we will play), and a 1-30 from Mongoose. We are good for at least 2 years per campaign so we should be good to go for 8 years. Add in the Burning Sky and that makes 10 years. I figure that I will move south (from NY) after I retire before then so we are all set to go...

This looks like its going to be a great campaign.

I was wondering if you may have some previews of the maps that are going to be availble with the adventures?

I'm looking for a good campaing that will work with my new projector that I'll be setting up very soon.

I know that Adventure 1 has a January 2007 date, is there anything more specific? Will there be a players guide released at the same time?

Because the holidays slowed us down a bit, the first adventure will be coming out in late January, but I'm working to get the later adventures ready closer to the start of their months. Right now the maps and cover are being worked on, and I'm trying to get enough art quickly enough for us to release the Player's Guide maybe a week before we release the adventure itself.

The maps are being created by Sean Macdonald (http://www.kencyclopedia.com/freelance), with one sketchy hand-drawn map by me. That one is not intended to be used as a battle mat.
