WOTC D&D June Editorial Calendar is up!

[Mouseferatu]

For those of us who don't know what he is. Could you give a brief description of who he is?

Turaglas is also called the Ebon Maw, the Devourer, the Hunger Eternal, and other such attractive monikers. He's an enormous, relatively amorphous being that consumes everything in its path. (If you cross Juiblex with a gibbering mouther, and then increase the size, you'll be close.)

Many demon lords (like Orcus and Demogorgon) were said to have been primordials before they were corrupted by the formation of the Abyss. Others (like Dagon) were said to exist since long before, in whatever prior form the Abyss held. Turaglas is said to be the first demon lord actually birthed of the Abyss in its current form. Where other demons manifest the murderous rage of the Abyss, Turaglas is its endless hunger.

(Turaglas first appeared in "The Ebon Maw," back in Dragon #312--the first Dragon article I ever wrote, actually, though not the first to be published. Obviously some aspects of who and what he is have changed since then, to account for 4E's new cosmology.)

Gotta wait till the 19th to get Divine Power stuff. Too bad, though about what I expected.

What makes you think that there aren't 3?

Wonder what "Arcane Towers" is.

Excerpt: Arcane Towers is a dungeon tiles excerpt.

I guess in looking at the Wednesday column, I can't see any other DUN entries that could be adventures. I hope they aren't going to start considering Vicious Venues an "adventure" column.

Again we see the MM3 playtest.

Bet Revenants are undead PC race.

Maybe this one is for real?

I recall the revenant in the 1e Field Folio. Was it reproduced for 3.x in any official manner by WOTC? I can't find it in the MM, Field Folio, MM2 or MM4. (don't have my MM3 handy...)

EDIT: Revenant was a template in the Monsters of Faerun book.

I think revenants were in Monsters of Faerun.
Ninja'd!

 

[Fallen Seraph]

Thanks Ari, it sounds like something that be PERFECT for a setting I am building. Awesome

 

[WarlockLord]

Revenants? As in UNDEAD PC RACE revenants?

Woo-hoo!

 

[LightPhoenix]

Yet another player-thin month...

DMs - Creature Incarnations, Ecology Of, Demonomicon, Playtest MM3, Realmslore

Players - Playing Revenants, Class Acts: Bard

I suspect Ampersand will be player focused this month too, with Divine Power and EPG coming out soon. It seems to alternate every month.

 

[Dire Bare]

Hrm, I'm too lazy to do an issue by issue comparison . . . but the June calendar feels a little light to me also. Seems like the free excerpts of upcoming products are increasing in number (which is fine), but the meaty Dragon/Dungeon articles seem to be suffering.

I'll wait until after the first few months of the "new" direction that starts in July before getting all worked up, however.

EDIT: I sure hope the new PHB3 content doesn't displace actual Dragon articles. That would be . . . disapointing.

 

[Zaukrie]

Fell Taints and the Ebon Maw! Sweet, this is going to be great for my campaign. Great.

But, the content still looks light to me.

 

[Nymrohd]

Fell Taints! First time I skimmed through my newly bought MM2 Fell Taints were probably the critter that gave me the unexpected WOW response. Nasty little buggers and available for low level heroic as well! Give more!
