Like I said in the OP, there is an erronious entry for 3 Dragon Ante, listed for September. Probably got inserted where Dark*Matter should have been.

*blink*

Whoah. I just realized, this means I've got something coming out from WotC every month from September to December.

Not that I'm complaining, mind. It's just sort of a stunning realization.

Insidious, aren't you?

 

[Mouseferatu]

Ari, now that the solicitation is out, can you say what parts of the book you worked on? Also, does this book cover the druid sects, as well as the clerical faiths?

Hmm... I can't say anything that would reveal more than has already been released, so let's see.

I can say that I worked on the Sovereign Host and Silver Flame sections. (I don't consider that to be giving anything away, since it's pretty bloody obvious that a book on Eberron's religions has to include those. ) I think, though, I'm going to hold off on saying what else I worked on, or on answering question two, until I'm sure I'm allowed to reveal such things.

Sorry to have to be so vague.

 

[Mouseferatu]

Insidious, aren't you?

It's the only way to get ahead in this savage, cut-throat industry.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Huh, this might be the year I buy D20 Modern.

 

[Eytan Bernstein]

They have--and thank all the beings in all the heavens for it! --provided me with the maps to work with.

I hate designing maps. There's a reason I'm a writer and not a cartographer, and anyone who's seen any of my maps will attest to that.

You're lucky then. They always ask me, despite my lack of any greater than average proficiency in mapmaking.

 

[mhacdebhandia]

I can say that I worked on the Sovereign Host and Silver Flame sections.

I can say that I hope your work or someone else's included sects of those faiths - draconists, the Whispering Flame, et cetera. I love that stuff . . .

 

[Mouseferatu]

You're lucky then. They always ask me, despite my lack of any greater than average proficiency in mapmaking.

Don't get me wrong, Eytan. On most of my gigs, I've got to do maps, too. I guess they just figure, since the FL series showcases the maps, that they want them to be themed (and not hideous ) from the get-go.

It's an interesting format to write in. I'm still getting the hang of it, myself. I think, though, that once I get used to it, I'm going to put it in the same category in which I put the new monster stat blocks: That is, kind of a pain to create, but much easier to use as a DM.

It looks much more difficult to create. And, also a pain for anyone else trying to create an encounter in the same style.

While I do really like it (a lot), I can see the "waste of space" comments flooding in any time now...
