10-21-05, 12:45 AM I believe that there's also an Eberron anthology called Tales of the Last War listed on there.

10-21-05, 07:18 AM Perfect! Not too many things, but just enough to keep me happy over the next year! :cool:

10-21-05, 08:22 AM I hope there is a hardback in between PGtF and SoX. The last year we have seen a new Eberron hardcover product roughly every 2-3 months, so if that pattern continues we should see something between January and July. I hope its Faith of Eberron :)

How about something called Voyage of the Golden Dragon in April?

VotGD is an adventure, IIRC.

10-21-05, 10:39 AM I can't wait for Xen'Drik and Players Guide, when those two books hit the streets I bet my top 3 RPG books will be ECS, PGtE and SoX.

By the way, SoX is terrible abbreviation :P
ieattrollsforbreakfast
10-21-05, 11:12 AM VotGD is an adventure, IIRC.

Yep, as a 32 page softcover adventure it doesn't qualify as a sourcebook.

About the abbreviation, I couldn't help but smile when I typed SoX ;)

10-21-05, 12:10 PM Like the addition of SoX, hopefully there will be a Desolation of Frostfell, Tales of Argonessen, and Whispers of Sarlona. This would make me very happy.

Something else on your mind there Londheil? ;)

But seriously, I hope they do maps, but not excessively detailed maps. It would be nice to know where some famous sites are without the maps making it difficult to fit new stuff wherever you want.

It seems it's borderline. It's an adventure, but it introduces "the Golden Dragon" which is something that's supposed to be a mobile base for the heroes to adventure from. It certainly sounds somewhat sourcebook-like.

10-22-05, 04:28 AM I hope they map maybe part of a jungle, some of a desert, a beach some place. But I don't want Xen'Drik mapped out like Khovaire.

10-22-05, 08:38 AM VotGD is an adventure, IIRC.

Well, it sounds like an adventure, but Amazon has it listed as hardback.

Doesn't mean it really is hardback, I know, but the Amazon link is all I have to go on since I've never heard of it before this thread.

Just checked the price. $9.95. Yep, it's an adventure. My bad.

10-23-05, 11:49 PM I'm also pretty sure that the latest pub date for any of the WotC products I've seen on amazon is July or so, meaning we could see some additional books in the second half of 2006 as well.

I agree, some things are best left to the discretion of the DM.

10-24-05, 05:44 PM If you actually like haivng your books when they're supposed to come out, I highly reccomend not buying them from amazon.

I'm STILL waiting for them to get off their butts and release my pre-ordered copy of MoE because the morons don;t know when it;s suppoised to be out.

Actually they do know when it's supposed to be out for them which is significantly later than your FLGS. WotC does this on purpose, both to give game stores a better chance of getting the sale and so they don't sell quite so many at the presumably lower-than-average discount amazon gets for buying in bulk.

Ordered MoE and MoI last week. MoI arrived by the end of the week. MoE was suppose to come as well in the second half of the week. Still waiting on amazon as well.

Shoulda just bought it in the store with Explorer's Handbook. I wanna see those new infusions.

Our latest information indicates that "Magic of Eberron (Eberron: Accessories)" has not yet been released and the expected release date is not known. We rely on the publisher for release date information.

Although we do have your copy of "Magic of Eberron (Eberron: Accessories)" on hand, we are not able to ship it to you until its official release date as the release date is determined by the publisher.

After much badgering I managed to get

As you know, we rely on the publisher "Wizards of the Coast" for release date information. Our most recent information was that "Magic of Eberron" will be released in October 2005. Unfortunately, they do not list a definate date,

So, whether or not wizards likes to jerk the nation's largest online retailer around for fun aside, the point remains that they have no idea when they're allowed to sell the books that, according to them, they have.

And at no time in the no less than three exchanges between myself and them, did they mention any seperate release date for them vs the FLGS. they kept saying the "Official" release date is "Unknown". So while I'm willing to believe that wizards is screwing with them just for chucks, they never mentioned it. (Itd have been nice fi they had, then I'd know who to yell at)

That's the whole point. You want to get it from Amazon for 35% off, you have to wait. If you want it now, you buy it from your FLGS.

I really only go to Amazon for books that I don't mind having a month or two later than their "release date."

10-25-05, 06:04 PM I hope its Faith of Eberron :)

On the other hand, that'd be the first Eberron book that I'd intentionally skip, unless it had some rockin' cleric spells in it.
