Wizards Fall Releases (Races of the Wild, others)

[Pramas]

Seems like they are ramping up their release schedule. Interesting.

Maybe they are afraid of how good the competition is getting, especially with Book of Fiends.

Elves and Halflings? Cool. With Gnomes and Dwarves being covered in Races of Stone, what does that leave uncovered? Orcs? I would assume Half-Elves are also in RotW.

i'd assume that with dwarves and gnomes in Races of Stone, and elves and halflings in Races of the Wild, the third book in the series would be something like "Races of Man" and cover humans, half-elves, and half-orcs.

Races of the Wild : Again with the little text above the logo, I like it (for those interested, it's : "A Race Guide to"). I'm not a fan of Elves. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are tons of stuff that are cool about them, I just rarely if ever play one (the -2 Con really kills me). As for Halflings (the other PC race discussed in this book), while I like them, I never got used to playing a small character, it never felt right. Anyway, I'm sure this book'll contain stuff for the Elf lover, the Halfling lover or perhaps the "new-race-introduced-this-book" lover (from the look of it, it seems like an Avariel, but I could be wrong). This 192 pages hardcover book was written by Skip "The Sage" Williams.

Who wants to bet that this book contains yet another version of the bladesinger class, and maybe four or five new elf subraces?

I'm not surprised. I've decided that banning elves should be a priority.

I am especially fond of playing arcane spellcasters, therefore Complete Arcane is the on I will look forward most

But also the Libris Mortis can be very interesting, but let's wait to see what new stuff it contains. If it goes the same way as Draconomicon then it can be great.

Otherwise, I am very skeptic about the Races series... I hope it will have some different than the obvious crunchy bits. :\

Since I presume Merric got that from WotC's D&D board and doesn't have access to the WotC catalog, I doubt he can. Hopefully someone who does have the catalog (likely a FLGS employee/owner such as thalmin) will pop in and give more info.

He said that he looked thorugh one at his FLGS...
It's at the top of his post...

Not I, the original poster (Mops&Buckets). See my second post for the link to his original post, and you can ask him there.

Cheers!
