For some reason, this catalog also lists Three Dragon Ante as a September release, same price and stock number of the product that is currently on the shelves. :confused:
Somebody goofed.
 

Cityscape sounds like it might continue in the line of the environment series. Gotta say I'm glad to see "series" that continue beyond two or three books. The genre series (Heroes of Battle, Heroes and Horror) and the magic series (Weapons of Legacy, Magic of Incarnum) both appear to be dead, and I wouldn't be surprised if we don't even get a third book to go with the Tome of Magic and Tome of Battle. Pretty lame that they do that.
 

you know, as much as I think the color-coded dragons are dumb, and the fact I dont even know how to play chess, that still sounds like an awesome set :p

Castle Ravenloft sounds interesting, to be sure. I am not familiar with the old version, but I'd love to get something liek that and play through it, adn see what happens :D
 

FROM ABOVE.....

The Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde
David Noonan
A new D&D adventure for lower-level characters!
This low-level D&D adventure showcases a new format for combat encounters, designed to speed gameplay and make encounter preparation easier for the Dungeon Master. A companion title to Scourge of the Howling Horde, this adventure pits players against a puzzling dungeon filled with creatures of chaos. It includes two DungeonMaster books, a players book, an 8-page illustration book, a double-sided battle map, and enough adventure material for the Dungeon Master to easily expand the campaign.
Dec. 12, 2006; 142 pages + map, $24.95


See red italic section....

Anyone know what this new format for combat encounters is supposed to be?


Oh and the SW Starship Battles, got have it. :D
 

Woot! Expedition to Castle Ravenloft as a 224-page hardcover! Hot dog! :D

I can't wait to see the new threats they've added! More minions of Strahd...or something even worse?
 

New Format

There was an article on the Wizards website a month or two ago that talked about the new format. I can't recall all of the details, but an encounter looked like it would be displayed on a two page spread. A central picture would show a map of the encounter with the starting locations of monsters (I think they are going to depict all of this with D&D Minis). Various boxes along the margins have stats for the encountered monsters and pertinent rules to running the encounters.

Personally, I think it has the potential to be very "pretty", but it also links D&D and DDM that much tighter, which may or may not be a good thing. I think the new format will be fine, if the emphasis of these modules continues to be on presenting an enjoyable story. If they simply become a series of miniature/combat scenarios, I'll be saddened.
