DONE! PLEASE UN-STICKY THREAD!
Pretty please?
From the Dark Sun sub-forum:
Here's the first new novel, as listed on Amazon.com (and not yet listed on WotC's Product Catalog): City Under the Sand: A Dark Sun Novel, by Jeff Mariotte
Release date October 5, 2010.
Two more Eberron novels are listed here: www.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4...
And there's the WotC Fall 2010 Catalog, available here: www.randomhouse.biz/international/downlo...
EDIT: More novels listed here: worldsofdnd.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27...
This thread is a work in progress: I expect to have it done in a week, more or less. I'll peck away at it and continue to refine it afterwards. If anyone has any official info on 2010 D&D related products, or advice on formatting this thread, please drop me a line. Especially if you can get this thread stickied...
It's the other Boardgame being released on 11/16/10
Dungeons of Dragonfire Mountain
P.S. This should be stickied.
P.S. This should be stickied.
I've already sent in the request for it to be stickied. It just takes a few days for a thread to be stickied(assuming it gets stickied at all).
In the Sorted-by-Product-Type section, 3-Dragon-Ante and Castle Ravenloft are listed as D&D Novels, rather than as D&D Associated Games. The novels aren't listed at all.
Thanks for the sharp eyes. If anyone else notices mistakes on what's inputted, let me know. Rigtht now, my eyes are focused on what needs to be added.
Well, it's almost done. I'm going to plow through the fall novels tomorrow. If anyone knows of any other product coming out, please post it. I started this thread because I want to know what's coming up as much as you all.
Thanks for the sticky!

Thanks for taking the effort for this.
The essentials series is going to continue into next year, after which I'd assume the product line will return to being like it was for the first two years. That'll probably be when we get DMG3.
Yep i think i'd agree with this. It makes sense that WOTC will release a DMG3 focussing on how to run Epic level games. I know i would find it invaluable and if its as good as the first 2 then definately worth investing in.
In August Elminster Must Die by Ed Greenwood will be out.
It will be a hardcover.
At least thats what the WotC Catalogue I read last November said.
It'll resume next year?
What about the Powers series? I was really hoping for an Arcane Power 2.
It'll resume next year?
I don't see why they wouldn't keep pumping out player options books. They might mix it up a bit (Controller Power, anyone?) like what they're doing with the Essentials line.
I just noticed that Player's Handbook Races: Humans no longer appears on the product catalog. Has this been canceled? Delayed to 2011?
I hope it's only been delayed like the rest of the non-Essential books. Haven't seen any announcements, though.
There are new novels in the catalog: Lady Ruin and Whisper of Venom.
Also, Dungeons of Dragonfire Mountain has been renamed to Wrath of Ashardalon. The cover hasn't been updated yet, though.

An ultra-powerful dragon with an ultra-powerful demon for a heart... That never stops being cool.
The first titles for 2011 can be found at Amazon (thanks to the guys over at ENWorld for finding them!):
Dungeon Tiles: Caverns of Icewind Dale
Deluxe Dungeon Master's Screen
When we get some more news for 2011, I'll open up a separate thread for them (unless someone wants to beat me to it...)
Seriously, if they want it bad enough to go to Amazon, Ebay, etc etc... then they will go to those sites on their own & not need you to manipulate them into a rushed purchase, by providing a link to the item being sold by you or any other online hustler.
***please note that the use of "you" is a generalization refering to the people actually posting links to off-site sales of the products listed.
I acknowledge that people have a right to be greedy, but they too should at least allow the brick & mortar stores a chance to make the money needed to provide the players enough space for these games to be played.
What would happen when the only places where there were enough room to play ended up being a parking lot at the grocery store? Do you really think that a group of players are going to want to lay all their books out for the wind to blow around? Or that they will feel like having to move locations constantly because of loitering laws?
What I believe would happen is the players would just turn to a new form of entertainment & you would no longer have people buying the products from you at all; and the new entertainment would probably be something that didn't require them to buy something that you could sell them... what would happen to your greed then?
BTW, I am not a store owner or employee & so this is not being posted out of fear that I will lose any sort of income as a result. In fact I am the person who volunteers as an Organizer of RPGA/WPN events, so that players can easily find a game in our area every week.
I love that someone is taking the time to do a forum that lets players know what releases are expected and when. However, I find it kind of low-class to use a thread like this to steal sales from the FLGS where ever the players live.

Umm wow, over react much? Only 13 out of 47 entries link to Amazon, almost all of them novels(actually I think it is all of them but I am too lazy to double check). The other 34 entries link to the product page from WotC, which has a convenient store locator on it.
Alter_Boy has volunteered to do this to help people out, not to advance some anti-gaming store conspiracy. I imagine he has Amazon links because they frequently have product descriptions up before WotC. While I would love to rip your statement apart, I shall refrain since that would be grossly off topic. You should just leave Alter_Boy alone because he doesn't deserve this sort of stuff just for helping people out.

I subscribe to Ranadiel point of view!

(Emphasis in bold) Ranadiel's right. I would have loved to link to the product catalog in my previous posts, but unfortunately WotC are rather slow in updating it.
Back to topic, according to a game store owner over at ENWorld, there's a book called Player's Option: Heroes of Shadow coming out in March.
(How could I forget about that one? 
)
Vinciente, it is as Ranadiel said. When I posted them up, WotC didn't have them on their catalog. When I had the choice, I used the WotC Product catalog instead of Amazon.
In three weeks time, I'll be cleaning up the threads. Everything for 2010 seems to be on the Product Catalog, so I can make proper links. Plus, I'll start a 2011 thread (time permitting).
Oh, and update for June releases.
Speaking of what we'd like to see coming up (as the description for this forum says), I'd like to see some more support for D&D Miniatures Battles. It's great that Wizards of the Coast gives DDMGuild (www.ddmguild.com) official license to publish stat cards, rules books etc. for DDM. That's fantastic! I just wish that Wizards would promote DDM better. I have talked to so many people who think DDM is 'dead' because they heard that Wizards wasn't publishing anything for it anymore. We guild chapter organizers could really use some help in getting the word out that DDM isn't dead. It's very much alive and up-to-date with new books, cards, scenarios etc. coming out every year. Mentioning DDM on the Wizards.com main site and in ads in other media outlets would benefit Wizards too. The more people you have playing DDM, the more demand you'll have for the D&D minis. Players of the RPG version might buy a few minis to use for their heroes and DM's might buy a few more to use in their campaigns, but DDM players buy way more than even the RPG DMs do so that they can create many different warbands for their games.
Also, thanks very much for the Free RPG Day edition of Bloodsand Arena! We'll be using the maps in our guild chapter's DDM games. We'll even try adapting the adventure book to our DDMGuild one-shot adventure encounters.
Anyone know what happened to the DMG3? Is it still coming out?
Ditto this question. I want my MTV, er, DMG 3!
The first two have been the best book on gaming ever written, incredibly brilliant books. I can use them immediately at the table, or read them on the potty for inspiration for my next session or campaign. Rare is a book valuable at the gaming table and at the commode.
Anyone know what happened to the DMG3? Is it still coming out?
Still coming out implies it was actually on the release schedule at some point....which it wasn't. I vaguely recall hearing it was pushed bacl to next year, but I can't tell you where I heard that or if it is even still valid.

(Very interesting stuff on that page.)

It was never on the official schedule but I remember it being mentioned in the D&D seminar at Gencon last year. The DMG3 along with a Devil-nomicon, and a Source book for the Fey-wild would make me very happy.
I will eventually get around to changing the Amazon links to WotC. Also, once GenCon comes and more 2011 product is revealed, I'll start up a thread for next year. Promise!
Will the Rules Compendium incorrporate all current errata. thanks.
Yes. It also includes rules from the PHB, DMG, and MM.
I think that, post-GenCon, I will take on the construction of the 2011 Future Product thread. For the sake of constructive feedback, did you find the format readable? Useful? Did having a post for chronological releases and a post that separated the different kinds of product work? Any suggestions?

Cool. I'll say yes to your questions except that I don't have any suggestions.
Maybe color-coding the By Month releases by their product type would help if you don't want to seperate the two types?
Making the release date more prominent in the By Product Type section might be another solution. I find it a hassle to look at the date on the end because of the varying line length and possibly because it's in MM/DD/YY format instead of the month being spelled out.
And thanks again for doing this and keeping it up to date.
So here's what I'm planning for the 2011 thread. Two posts: first post is the releases separated by product line, second post is the releases in chronological order.
The first post will have each section sorted by product line, then with release dates underneath that. I'm thinking to divide the general D&D section by "D&D Players" (Heroes of Shadow), "D&D DMs" (Tiles, DM screen), and "D&D All" (Dice, miniatures).
The second post will have no additional titles, since I mean for it to be a quick snapshot of what's coming out. For now, I'll put the books we know of from GenCon under "To Be Announced".
I'm also going to place the Ravenloft Box Set on its own, like what I did with Gamma World. By tomorrow, you'll see what I mean.
