Wizards 2008 releases?

[CharlesRyan]

The WotC 1st-trimester 08 book trade catalog isn't due out for another month. The book trade catalog is the first official announcement of WotC's RPG products. (Amazon requires data to be put in earlier, and due to some flukes in Amazon's systems, sometimes that data goes live before it's supposed to. In a perfect world, the Amazon listings for all of the products in a given trimester would go live the same day as the catalog is released.)

So don't read too much into what does or doesn't appear on Amazon just yet. Come late July or thereabouts, we'll have the whole release schedule for the first four months of 08.

Slightly off the topic of this thread, but are there no support products for Star Wars SE scheduled before February? I haven't heard of any except to the extent that the minis have SE information.

November was what I heard, for the first [follow-up] thing. Can't remember what that was, sorry. :\

From a thread in the d20 Modern, etc. forum:

Force Unleashed Campaign Guide:11/2007
The Emperor has swept away the last vestiges of the Old Republic. Darth Vader and his dark apprentice hunt down the surviving Jedi one by one, but a few escape capture and find refuge on backwater worlds. Fewer still reach deep into the Force, unleashing powers beyond their wildest imaginings. Meanwhile, other brave heroes rise to oppose the tyranny of the Empire, heralding the birth of the Rebellion.

This campaign guide draws its inspiration from The Force Unleashed, a revolutionary new video game from Lucasfilm, Ltd. It presents a complete campaign setting during the period between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope. The guide offers exciting new character options and Force powers for players as well as adventure content, campaign seeds, and ready-to-play adversaries for Gamemasters.


Starships of The Galaxy: 12/2007
This rules supplement contains advanced starship combat rules for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game Saga Edition. In addition, it provides new character options for spacefaring heroes as well as descriptions, deckplans, and statistics for starships from all eras (as featured in all six Star Wars films and the Expanded Universe). This deluxe, full-color game supplement also includes rules and guidelines for building your own starships.

Ah, that was it. Cheers.

I heard something about Complete Familiar and Guide to Pack Animals.

 

[Kae'Yoss]

Hm.. heard something about the next Monster Book thing, after Drow of the Underdark:

Cattle of the plains. Finally, the Flaeness Cowboy PrC is going to make its appearance.

 

[Whisper72]

Well, I heard from a friend of a cousin of a neighbour who knows someone who works within a few miles of WotC that the next thing in monster books is going to be 'all you ever wanted to know about the Flumph but we were earlier afraid to release'.

It is not a very definitive rumor, but confidence is high...

 

[Alnag]

Well... I still think we might see d20 Modern revision in 2008, but probably not in first quarter. And this is definitely just my speculation.

What is interesting is the taht Behind the Screen series. First book is listed for December 2007 acutally, but surprisingly is not listed in WotC product pages, although they have other 12/2007 there. So it is bit mysterious. ;-)

 

[Razz]

Yeah Scott said 544 pages of adventures for 2008 out of 4000 pages of material for the year.

Woo hoo! Finally, no more dozen super-huge adventures! Get to work on non-adventure material! Yay.
