WotC Product Schedule Update - 2003

[Maraxle]

That's odd. I don't see my campaign setting from the open call for setting submissions. I guess it won't be released until 2004.

 

[radferth]

I'm hoping the new Fiend Folio will contain a large number of British monster with low CRs, preferably poorly illustrated.

 

[northrundicandus]

Yes indeed the new Fiend Folio is on the way!

At last we can have the official stats (and not just fan-made conversions) for such heavily used beasties as the dreaded flump, the deadly berbalang, the horrible tirapheg and the monstrous trilloch!

Imagine the horror invoked in your players when you show them the picture of the diabolical thork that they just encountered in full glorious color!

 

[The Serge]

Well Serge I guess that's the difference between you and me. I liked Minions okay but not to the extent you probably do. Though I think Oathbound has a GREAT premise. Nice mix of Planescape, Ravenloft and Dark Sun. That said, I guess I'm slightly curious what Fiend Folio will add? Perhaps some missing fiends? Or maybe something else?

Is it that big of a difference, Nightfall?

Heh.

Anyway, what the heck is Oathbound?

Well, the Flumph at least is in Tome of Horrors...

 

[Nightfall]

Is it that big of a difference, Nightfall?

Heh.

Anyway, what the heck is Oathbound?

Nope. Just a small one for me.

Oathbound is the new setting from Bastion Press. They are also using stuff from their various books, like Minions, Arms and Armor, Magic and Spells, etc.

 

[Davelozzi]

That's odd. I don't see my campaign setting from the open call for setting submissions. I guess it won't be released until 2004.

This list is only showing first quarter releases.

 

[Darkness]

That's odd. I don't see my campaign setting from the open call for setting submissions. I guess it won't be released until 2004.

So you won?

 

[Maraxle]

So you won?

Well... um... it's, uh, not exactly official or anything.

Anyway, what the heck is Oathbound?

Here's some additional information. You can read more about the setting on the Oathbound Homepage

Prepare to immerse yourself in a new world, one that has existed since before the consciousness of most cultures yet still holds mysteries that baffle mortal minds. Pulled from worlds across the cosmos, the Domains of the Forge serve as a strange mixing grounds of cultures, races, and ideologies. Those who visit the world come away forever changed, their hearts, souls, and bodies marked by their experiences while within the world of the Oathbound.

The Forge is a bizarre and godless orphan world in which only the greatest can hope to survive. Seven mysterious figures watch over the Forge and populate it with ambitious souls from thousand of different worlds and planes, pitting them all against each other in an eternal battle for ultimate power. For eons upon eons, mortals have battled on the face of the Forge, gradually building a rich world of powerful magics, massive ruins, forgotten secrets, and complex politics. Now it is your turn...
