[QUOTE="FDP Mike, post: 892983, member: 325"] I think that I'll need to step carefully here in order to honour my NDA, but I can offer a little bit of info on the Warcraft RPG .... The first book is in production right now and should be off to the printers soon; I believe that S&SS is aiming for a Gen Con release, but don't, um, quote me on that. :) The game is indeed 3.5 compatible; everything's been adjusted and updated in accordance with the 3.5 PHB and DMG. (The monster book to follow will of course be "3.5 ready" as well.) You'll be seeing something similar, I guess, to the Kalamar stuff -- an official D&D license, with the D&D logo no less, but published by S&SS (more specifically, I think the Arthaus division). In essence, it's D&D as played in the Warcraft setting, with certain changes to make D&D represent the setting more accurately. Does that make sense? ;) I think the translation of the RTS to a pen-and-paper RPG is done wonderfully by Deirdre and the writers. The flavour of Azeroth and its races really comes through strongly. As a fan of the RTS, man, I'd love to run or play in the RPG .... Ah, Gen Con just can[i]not[/i] get here too soon! Take care, Mike [/QUOTE]
