Settembre 2007:


Grand History of the Realms
The Grand History of the Realms chronicles the rich history of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, presenting a detailed timeline accompanied by essays from Elminster of Shadowdale and other Realmslore experts. Although not a game supplement, it serves as a handy reference guide for players and Dungeon Masters seeking information on specific historical events.


Exemplars of Evil

The Exemplars of Evil supplement shows Dungeon Masters how to construct memorable campaign villains and presents nine ready-to-play villains of various levels that can be easily incorporated into any D&D campaign. Each villainous entry provides complete statistics for the villain (or villains), as well as adventure seeds, campaign hooks, pregenerated minions, and a fully detailed lair.

D&D Icons: Legend of Drizzt Scenario Pack

Celebrate the return of Drizzt Do'Urden!

Some legends are born out of darkness.Drizzt Do'Urden grew up in the underground city of Menzoberranzan, home of thedrow--a race of twisted, evil dark elves. However, Drizzt was unlike other drow. He fled the Underdark for the surface realm, where he befriended the human barbarian Wulfgar. Together they battled the most terrible threat ever to ravage Icewind Dale: the white dragon Icingdeath!

2008 marks the 20th anniversary of Drizzt, appearing in R.A. Salvatore’s The Crystal Shard. This product kicks off the celebration for Drizzt, and contains:


3 figures: Drizzt Do'Urden (in new pose), Wulfgar, and Icingdeath the Gargantuan White Dragon -- in scale with other Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures Game collectable figures (prepainted, fully assembled, durable plastic).


1 fold-out, illustrated battle map.


5 full-color game stat cards, including epic stat cards for Drizzt Do'Urden and Wulfgar.


A booklet containing a scenario that rekindles the classic battle between Drizzt, Wulfgar,and Icingdeath, as well as an exclusive excerpt from R.A. Salvatore's newest Drizzt novel, The Orc King.


Fortress of the Yuan-ti
Evil yuan-ti conspire to destroy a kingdom using dark rituals and the bones of a long-dead king. To win the day, heroes must storm the yuan-ti fortress and wrest the bones from the cultists' clutches before they complete their rituals and unleash a far greater menace upon the world. DD3 Fortress of the Yuan-ti is a Dungeons & Dragons adventure designed for 6th level characters. The third adventure in a three-part series, it can also be played as a standalone adventure.

D&D Dungeon Tiles V: Lost Caverns of the Underdark
This product adds a new dimension to D&D games and gives Dungeon Masters an easy-to-use and inexpensive way to include great-looking terrain in their games. This set provides ready-to-use, configurable dungeon and cavern tiles of various shapes. This accessory for the D&D game contains six double-sided sheets of illustrated, die cut terrain tiles printed on heavy cardstock.

Re: [Manuale] Prossime uscite della WotC

Messaggioda fabio_milito_pagliara » dom ago 08, 2010 11:54 am

novità per il resto del 2010 e per il 2011.... ci aspetta un anno fantastico....

articolo di critical hits con tutte le novità annunciate:

http://critical-hits.com/2010/08/07/gen-con-2010-dd-new-products-seminar/

[size=15pt]2010 Highlights[/size]
Some products that have already been released were called out as being highlights for the year: Underdark, Martial Power 2, Player’s Handbook 3, The Plane Above, Monster Manual 3, Player’s Strategy Guide, Demonomicon, Tomb of Horrors, Dark Sun Campaign Setting, Dark Sun Creature Catalog, and Marauders of the Dune Sea, with Castle Ravenloft and Psionic Power coming soon.

They also launched the successful D&D Encounters program, with the next season being based on Keep on the Borderlands.

Upcoming in September is the Red Box, the first product in the Essentials line, which uses the same Larry Elmore art from the original Red Box. Bill Slavisceck wanted to set the record straight about Essentials, that they are 10 key products that stores should always carry in order to supply D&D. Some stores were stocking PHB2 without the original PHB, so Essentials are a product to be kept in print to tell the stores to always order. They liken it to another on-ramp into the game. They are specifically avoiding the word conversion, since there’s nothing to convert: it’s all D&D 4e.

The Rules Compendium is a 6×9 softcover book with all the current rules of the game (errata included) that can lay flat and is easy to reference. The first set of Essentials Dungeon Tiles will be a 2″ thick box with 10 sheets, including some of the 3D tiles we’ve seen in recent sets. The Lords of Madness mini set also releases in September.

October also has the Dungeon Master’s Kit, filled with DM Advice, starter adventures, tokens, and more, and is a “very heavy” boxed set. Gamma World also releases at the same time, specifically described as a “light-hearted” game built on and fully compatible with 4e. Character generation is very fast, as you can roll up characters very quickly by generating their two halves (like half-plant half-cockroach), rolling stats, and drawing mutations. The box contains everything you need to play except dice, being packed with cards, tokens, maps, and rules. More mutations are being sold in booster packs, but they emphasized that they were not meant to be collected as a set, but just opened and used in the game.

November will have Heroes of the Forgotten Kindgoms for Essentials, as well as Monster Vault for Essentials (with an Owlbear prominently on the cover.) The Monster vault will be about 25% reprinted monsters and 75% all new versions of classic D&D monsters. It’s also a boxed set that includes tokens with art for every monster. We’ll also see the city dungeon tiles set in November and the Beholder minis collectors set, containing 4 new paints of Beholders in a nice book-like case. The Beholder set will be in limited quantities, much like Orcus.


December contains the Wrath of Ashardalon board game that works like the Castle Ravenloft game, the wilderness dungeon tiles set, and the Gamma World “Famine in Far-Go” adventure that includes more mutations, more hybrids, and giant chickens.

They then talked about some of the novel releases, including the novellas in other books that lead up to the Abyssal Plague books, and briefly talked about the D&D comics that are coming from IDW.

[size=15pt]2011 Products[/size]
Nentir Vale Gazetteer is a 6×9 softcover that comes with a map that includes all the regions in and around the Nentir Vale in the D&D core world.

Fortune Cards is an optional accessory that is going to be sold in D&D in booster packs that inject some extra randomness into your game. They were described as being similar to Gamma World mutations, except without actually mutating D&D characters. They’re not designed to be an extra level of power-up, but more like random things that could happen to your character during a game session. They emphasized that like the Gamma World mutations, they’re not something you should collect a set of for your character. In fact, they recommend opening the boosters at the game table to inject more randomness.

The Deluxe Dungeon Master’s Screen features art by Wayne Reynolds, and will include a revised set of tables and charts for the DM to use from what was available before.

Heroes of Shadow will contain options for all characters to gain shadow powers, not just shadow power source characters. (It’s also likely that this book will contain all new classes and races.) They wanted to add powers that added more flavor to existing characters, and the options in this book will encourage that, like when your fighter has a shadow pact.

Mordenkenian’s Magical Emporium is a book of magic items designed to inject more story and descriptions into magic items. Not just a bland history, but a real story hinted at by the item’s description. The big news with this book, and all magic items in Essentials and going forward, is that magic items will be given “Common, Uncommon, Rare” designations. Common and uncommon items can be bought and created by characters. Rare items can only be given out by a DM. Most items already in existence are going to be retroactively classified as Uncommon, and almost all items going forward in new books will be Rare.

Shadowfell: Gloomwrought and Beyond is a boxed set in the vein of the other planar books already released, but will include a “very large” poster map of the city of Gloomwrought. It will also include a Despair Deck that have different kind of mental effects upon the characters, some in a very “Cthulhu-esque” fashion for madness, ennui, etc. that both have a mechanical effect as well as roleplaying hooks.

Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentir Vale is the main monster book for the year, containing new monsters, tokens for every monster, encounters, and poster maps.

Conquest of Nerath is going to be a new D&D board game, in the war game (Axis & Allies, Risk, etc.) style. 2-4 players battle it out over the ruins of Nerath. In addition to army based conflict from different factions, sides will also have heroes that can explore dungeons to help tip the tide of battle. It will contain a lot of plastic figures.

Player’s Handbook: Champions of the Heroic Tier is a set of options, almost like Unearthed Arcana, for characters to pick from and DMs to choose to use in their games. Character themes (introduced in Dark Sun) will be here for core D&D characters, in addition to new options, new feats, and non-combat options like Blacksmith professions that don’t cost feats to acquire.

Neverwinter Campaign Guide will be a new book for the Forgotten Realms setting, taking place in the frozen area that has been rebuilt since the Spellplague. They couldn’t say much about it, other than that there will be a level 1-30 full Bladesinger class and contain plot options.

Hero Builder’s Handbook is a book of other options to help give characters even more options to try to hone in on creating specific character concepts, and will have some appeal for optimizers as well as those who want a very strong character concept and rules to support it.

Madness of Gardmore Abbey will be the year’s super-adventure, focusing on a scattered Deck of Many Things around Gardmore Abbey. This will also be in a boxed set, and will contain a Deck of Many Things that the players draw from.

Then in the 4th quarter, there will be a Ravenloft game released, where PCs can play Vampires, Werewolf, as well as the usual character options. While keeping most of the information about this hidden for now, they did say there would be some interesting new physical components to the game of some kind. It will also be both a standalone game as well as fully useable in core D&D.

Q&A
Some of the more interesting statements from the question and answer period:
+There will probably still be a new minis release in 2011, but nothing to announce quite yet.
+Similarly, there will be new updates to DDI, but nothing to announce quite yet, but it was hinted that there will be something soon.
+The Assassin class is NOT in Heroes of Shadow, but it and the Revenant will appear in Heroes of the Fallen Lands Essentials product.
+In the DM Kit and Rules Compendium, there will be alternatives to the “Treasure Parcel” system of giving out magic items, including random magic item tables. The new item rarity system also factors into an alternative system.
+Dragonlance: there are still new novels. Nothing to announce on the game side yet, but “there is a plan.”
+Races in Essentials will be retro-fitted to have an option in ability score adjustments, just like the PHB3 races.
+PDF and E-books for the game books: again, nothing to announce quite yet, but probably soon.
+No DMG for epic-level play yet, since they surveyed and very few groups were playing epic. They will probably cover it in 2012 when more groups have hit that level.
+The team is aware of how some groups dislike stun and daze, and so they’ve been using it more sparingly in the design of monsters. They are also taking more into account what happens when Solos get stunned or dazed.
+The Rules Compendium is not an alternative to the core three books (PHB, DMG, MM,) They will reprint the core books when the time is right, but for now, they have plenty of copies of them in the warehouse so they don’t need to reprint them. They may also reprint them with errata.
+The Player’s Handbook Races series (Dragonborn and Tiefling) proved problematic in stores thanks to the format, so the Human book is effectively canceled, and they’re looking at new ways to do the concept.
+Atari has an announcement coming about some kind of D&D video game but they couldn’t talk about it here.
+There is no “Deck-building” element with Fortune Cards. They may be given out during D&D Encounters in some fashion.
+Will we see a Feywild book of some kind, since the other planes have all been covered? Yes, but they haven’t shown it yet.
+One of Mike Mearls’s new job duties is to reduce the amount of errata in new rules going forward so not as much is needed.
+One of Mike’s personal goals is to make the D&D books more interesting to read by themselves.
