WotC February 2008: City of Stormreach

[TerraDave]

You know what this means

Hmm, taking a look at the release schedule from the second half of 2007 onward you have:

-No "Complete" books
-5 "non rule" books (the 2 behind the screen books, Grand History of the Realms, Dungeon Survival Guide, Confessions of a Part-time Sorceress, plus minis, dungeon tiles, and the dice game).
-One and only one general rules supplement: Rules Compendium.
-Everything else is adventures (lots), a monster book and some advesary books, and campaign world supplements.

So...the anouncement for 4th ed will be at GenCon for release at following GenCon, or anouncement at Winter Fantasy/D&D eXPerience for 2008 GenCon...

and who knows, this stormreach book could be for 4th ed.

I'm more interested in the Behind the Scenes books myself, actually. 96 pages each, presumably describing their designer notes for how and why they created the classes, races, monster system, etc the way they did.

That would certainly be... surprising.

That would certainly be... surprising.

I'm assuming you missed the phone call to add your two coins to such a project?

Oh, let's not start those 4E rumors again...

While it's possible, I'm not holding my breath.

Or that what we think the essays will be is not what they really are. In other words, no blow-by-blow discussion of every aspect of the races, etc., and perhaps more of a "here's some essays about design by good designers."

Perhaps the complete books are finally complete. I also look forward to the Rules Compendium as a single book source for the more obscure... kinda like buying one of those Rhino greatest hits of the 70's compilation CD/Record/8 Track.

I love to read adventures, even if I won't be able to run them all in my lifetime, it's preferable to read an adventure than a novel to me. Of course, they will have to compete with Paizo for my dollar on this having been burned a few times with WoTC subpar adventures.
