Can anyone at Wizards tell me if there are going to be or are there any new campaign accessories coming out in the near future. Like the Unapproachable East, Underdark and Silver Marches.

I tried, but couldn't stay away from this...

Yay, another book about Waterdeep...

Woho.

And there was much rejoicing.

Don't get me wrong, I love Waterdeep, but frankly I'm more psyched for The Shining South. Halruaa and Luiren in one book? Rock!

Now *that* I can relate to.

I just hope the write-up on Dambrath is good.

Mostly depends on where your campaign is set in terms of regional accessories.
Anything on groups like the Code of the Harpers or Cult of the Dragon is generally useful.
Cloak and Dagger is a very good and popular product detailing some recent events in Faerūn.
If you plan on doing anything involving the Chosen, The Seven Sisters is a useful book.
The Volos Guides are also a great read, packed with loads of details.

Have a look here at any of the free downloads, there's plenty of useful stuff there for starters:

I agree - I'm also looking forward to a write-up of the Old Empires, the Lands of Intrigue, and howzabout some detail on the Utter East?

Right, i'd like to see Lands of Intrigue, Vilhon might be cool too, and what about a kinda general sourcebook about the Inner Sea? I love playing in that area, and action scenes on ships are http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/contrib/navigator/devil.gif

On a similar note can anyone tell me if the creator race from Serpent Kingdoms are any way related to Dragons.

I was working on developing plot lines based on ancient empires like Nethril, Imaskar, Shoon, and from way back when the Dragons ruled the land. I was trying to intergrade the dragons and these serpent races though a creator race type plot line.
I was trying to also say that the Pheirum had tryied to destoy all these empires.

I think I am more excited about the Serpent Kingdom one. I'm worried that the Shinning South will just be about Halrau, which is an area I have a dislike for. I do believe that they will give ALL areas a decent description.

I can't wait for Serpent Kingdom. It should come right about the time I'm planning some Nameless Dungeon on Hellgate Keep action.

Color me excited.

Has anyone taken a look at the cover for Shining South? I'm guessing the Air Ship on it is from Halrua? I must have forgotten about them, because I was rather surprised when I first saw the cover. Still surprised, for that matter. I guess Air Ships are something I've come to associate more with Final Fantasy than Forgotten Realms.
