[Kesh]

Ahhh, an Eberron screen. Was wondering when they'd get around to that.

Maelstrom sounds like a water/underwater book, similar to Frostburn.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

July 6, 05: Dungeon Master's Guide II : Race Builders Series here

...interesting. Not sure what to make of it, though.

July 27, 05: City of Splendors: Waterdeep her

Now, if only we'd get an Undermountain book to go with it!

July 28, 05: Weapons of Legacy : A Magic Series Supplement here

This is that book that the interviews had designers mentioning that all the players would be craving it. HAH. I called this one months ago.

Aug 24, 05: Maelstrom : An Environment Series Supplement here

I think Kesh has it right with an Ocean book. Which is GREAT.

Aug 24, 05: Explorer's Handbook here

Wilderness Guide 3.5?

Sept 7, 05: Legends Huge Pack here

I didn't think they were doing another Huge set until 06...

 

[Faraer]

If that's the final title, we're gonna have
City of Splendors (Steven E. Schend & Ed Greenwood, 1994)
City of Splendors: A Novel of Waterdeep (Ed Greenwood & Elaine Cunningham, 2004)
City of Splendors: Waterdeep (Eric L. Boyd, 2004)

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Woo hoo! Oceans!

 

[Aesmael]

Oh dear. Couldn't they have put it out any earlier? Irksome to start an ocean floor campaign when something like that comes out shortly after.

Perhaps by then I can afford it.

 

[demiurge1138]

I can accept the Monster Manual X format, but having a DMG II strikes me as a little odd. Also, I'm wondering what will be in it, especially since it's in the "Race Builders Series". Isn't that the "Races of ___" series, or is that something different?

Demiurge out.

 

[Nightfall]

Yeah! Stuff by d20 authors I LOVE! Will and Joe together again! Well at least with WotC stuff... (Will Upchurch doing Champions of Ruin and Joe going back to his "roots" of sorts with Maelstrom. Figured he did Blood Sea for more than just the fun of it. )

 

[Pants]

Neat list:

Champions of Ruin - Could it be the next 'Creature Feature' book? (ala Draconomicon, Libris Mortis, etc.)
DMG II: Races Builders Series - Looks to be a book based around the idea of constructing your own races within the game. Ideas, mechanics, what-to-do, what not to do, etc. Seems Robin Laws is involved with that one...
Five Nations - Errrr an FR book?
Maelstrom : An Environment Series Supplement - Sweet.
Explorer's Handbook - Ummm... okay...

 

[Ogrork the Mighty]

If WotC knows what's good for 'em they'll put out another huge minis pack sooner rather than later. Afterall, Giants of Legend was the most popular set...
