Заглавие: [Info & Дискусия] Бъдещият lineup на Wizards
В тази тема, която ще се постарая да ъпдейтвам, ще поместя предстоящите попълнения в каталога на WotC за D&D 4E. Правя го най-вече защото за '10 има доста заинтригуващи попълнения и ми е интересно да чуя какво мислите.
За по-лесно четене съм подчертал най-важните детайли в описанията.
No realm in the D&D world stirs the imagination like the Underdark. This vast subterranean domain holds thousands of adventure possibilities and myriad threats, including drow, mind flayers, dragons, and worse! Entire campaigns can unfold in its depths, and its rewards are boundless.

На мен, освен новите обложки, най-голямо впечатление ми направиха "Heroes of Половината Класове от PHB1" и "Heroes of Другата Половина и Пак Сleric-a", които явно ще вървят ръка за ръка с Martial Power 2 и Psionic Power. Новата серия - Essentials - също ми се струва любопитна, не знам какво се целят да бъде, но изглеждат като PHB+ и DMG+ със повече страници и меки корици. И изглежда са се усетили, защото в Monster Vault явно ще има повече флъф текст.
Откъм Dungeon Tiles също вървят в правилната посока, понеже заедно със стандартните комплекти, фокусирани към точно определен вид подземия/открити райони пускат и Master Set-ове, които имат около двойно повече "плочки", но не са така съсредоточени откъм тема, а са например "Подземия", "Открити пространства" или "Градски условия".

Аз повтарях, че започват да се изчерпват, ама тогава бил съм хейтър. На ви хейтене сега. Най-очакваната книга за месеца - брошура от 32-страници пълна със пауъри и нищо друго.
Май най-доброто си остават сетиг и другите core книги, както и месечните списания на моменти.

Ама естествено, всичко освен core книгите и сетингите са си опционални допълнения, на когото му трябват си ги взема на когото не му трябват - не. А за да няма Heroes of Complete Power 32 трябва да се издават книги от по 600+ страници, които едно, че биха били доста скъпи за единична покупка, а и биха излизали адски бавно.
Да вземем Psionic Power. Фактически тя е разширение на Player's Handbook 3, един вид PHB 3.5. Ако материалът в нея беше добавен към PHB 3, книгата щеше да е 400 страници. А както е сега ситуацията е следната - ако някой иска да играе псионичен клас или някоя от новите раси, си взема PHB 3. Така въпросният човек може съсвем спокойно да си играе със материала от книгата без да му липсва нещо кой знае какво. Ако обаче иска още от същото, получава още от същото - PHB 3.5 aka Psionic Power. Ако пък не иска да се занимава с псионици или минотаври въобще не се занимава нито с PHB 3, нито с Psionic Power.
Това, което искам да кажа е, че човек може да изкара само с core книгите, но ако иска повече може да си разшири постепенно играта с допълнителните книги. Мисля, че това е най-адекватния бизнес модел, чрез който и двете страни са доволни.

600 страници от които някой фен ще иска само 300. Одобрявам разделението на брошурки. А има и още нещо за тези книжки - силите в тях си идват като част от пакета в DDI, при което са съвсем незадължителни. едит - като гледам, всъщност само интересни неща се задават - просто не съм такъв фен на играта, че да си ги купя.

Всъщност, заплатите на повечето от нас позволяват да си купят книгите, които имат намерение да ползват - просто не ни позволяват да купуваме книги, които няма да ползваме редовно. Просто нито водя, нито играя достатъчно често, а за игра и DDI стига.
Заглавие: Re: [Info & Дискусия] Бъдещият lineup на Wizards
Такам...
Разрових се за повече детайли, понеже не може само да се гадае, гледайки описанията на книгите и намерих отговори на повечето от чуденията ми.
Първо, ето тука има един въздълъг запис от D&D Experience, в който става въпрос точно за продуктите през тази година. Според мен си струва 40-те и нещо минути слушане, но общо взето нещата, които не се знаеха са следните:
Книжките по 32 страници са експериментални и са с цел да предложат нещо по-малко на по-малка цена. Това са Races of PHB:X, както и няколко приключения и "adventure locations". Дали ще ги продължат, естествено, зависи от успеха им.
Има нов Starter Set а ла Червената Кутия. Така... Essentials серията се връзва към стартовия пакет по следния начин - някой, за който го вземе и реши, че иска да играе D&D, книгите от тази серия са следващата стъпка. Фактически, те представляват алтернативни core книги, направени така, че хора, които преминават от starter set-a да си разширят възможностите. Номерът е там, че тези Essentials не заместват core книгите, а са техни алтернативи или добавки - зависи от чия гледна точка се погледнат - от тази на нов играч или на опитен такъв.
Dungeon Master's Kit-a дава всички нужни неща, за да водиш игра от първо до трийсто ниво. Също така, в комплекта има и скрийн, две кратки приключения, две карти за енкаунтъри и още няколко дреболии. Това е ориентирано най-вече към начинаещите разказвачи, но си е stand-alone комплект. Все пак, не задълбава толкова дълбоко колкото DMG-тата и едва ли ще има смисъл да се купува от хора, които имат DMG.
Monster Vault-a е еквивалента на MM, но с няколко разлики. Първо, вътре има вариации на най-често срещаните чудовища, но различни от другите ММ-та. Тоест, ще има коболди, но няма да са същите коболди. После, ще има значително повече флъф текст, за да може по-лесно да се вкара въпросното чудовище в контекст. Също така, енкаунтър групите ще бъдат обосновани - няма да има три-четири чудовища, които общо дават еди-колко си XP, а ще има обяснение защо, по дяволите, саламандърът се влачи със двама ефрити. Понеже е от Essential серията, тук пак си има едно кратко приключение и жетони за абсолютно всички чудовища в книгата. Между другото, MM 3 също ще е е форматирана по същия начин, само че ще има нови чудовища.
"Heroes of" книгите са един вид алтернативни PHB-та. Отново са направени като логичния избор за новите играчи. Има алтернативни билдове за класовете, нови "престижни класове", както и още информация (системна и иначе) за основните раси. Така съдържанието е различно спрямо PHB и може да се ползва като разшитение, но може да се използва със същия успех като базова книга.
Също се натъкнах на ей това интервю в писмен вид, което разяснява още малко. Ето най-същественото:
Цитат:
WotC_Trevor: From DooHickey - Is the rough idea today to go back to the hard cover product line once all the essentials have been released?
WotC_Andy: You'll see familiar-looking hardbacks in 2011 (We're already working on the first ones). That said, we'll never stop experimenting with format. What works one year doesn't necessarily work the next, and we recognize that.
A 160 page textbook isn't always the best way to convey information. Doesn't mean we'll give up on them, but expect variety in approach.
Цитат:
WotC_Trevor: From pedr - Which, if any, of the "Essentials" line will people who have all the current 4E line get most value from?
WotC_Andy: I'd equate the value of the two player-focused Essential books as being similar to a PH2 or PH3. Somewhat useful for your existing character, and hugely valuable if you're looking to start a new character.
For the DM, the new Dungeon Tile master sets are a great value. The first one is (mostly) from previous sets, but as folks take pains to point out to me, older sets can be hard to get. The other two Master Sets have a larger percentage of new tiles (since we didn't have as many existing wilderness or town tiles to choose from). The Monsters Vault is also full of new monsters. Not new as is "I've never heard of this creature before" but "cool, more orcs and beholders and drow!"
And judging by the acclaim we got from established players when we published the 3E Rules Compendium, I figure the 4E version will be similarly useful as a compilation of the various game rules and the various updates that have been published to them over the past couple of years.
Цитат:
WotC_Trevor: From KayusaKing: Will the Player's Handbook Races eventually cover all the races available in 4E? WotC_Andy: That'll depend on how well the first wave of PHR products do. A 32-page player-focused book is a bit experimental for us--remember how I talked about formats earlier--and we may need to tweak it a bit along the way. We'd love to cover all the races, but realistically I'd look to Dragon first, and expect the books only for the most popular/iconic races. In other words, don't hold your breath for a githzerai book.

Никой не коментира Gamma Worlds като нов сетинг с който да се цицат феновете? Или по-точно доста стар сетинг на нов глас. За мен лично това е най-очакваната книга - fallout сетинг, стокраки магарета псиони, мутанти като цяло. Надявам се това да е силно завръщане на D20 алтернативни сетинги. Почна да ми писва от фентъзи миазмите.

Попаднах на тази тема в ENworld и какво да видя - има "изтекли" заглавия за '11г . Някои ги бях виждал в Amazon, така че най-вероятно източника е също толкова надежден. Заглавията са следните:
Caverns of Icewind Dale Dungeon Tiles [January 18] - Намирисва ми на сетингова книжка за IWD, а ла Dark Sun и плочките към него. I like.
Nentir Vale Gazetteer [February 25] - Най-вероятно това ще е Points of Light сетинга в детайл или поне Нентиров Дол. Има го в Amazon и е 192 страници, меки корици.
Deluxe Dungeon Master's Screen [February 25] Другият теч от Амазон, нов "делукс" скрийн на същата цена, но за сметка на това изглежда ще е от мек картон, но може и да не са го описали точно.
Player's Option: Heroes of Shadow [March] - Преди няколко седмици изплува информация за тая новост и изглежда е нещо като духовен наследник на PHB линията, но с меки корици, малък формат и по-ниска цена. Тази книга точно ще е на вълна "Shadow Power Source", ще има Assassins, Necromancers и Hexblade, както и разни други благинки.
Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium [April] - Adventurer's Vault 3? Името е различно, така че е възможно и тук да има промяна във формата.
Как ви се струват?

Заглавие: Re: [Info & Дискусия] Бъдещият lineup на Wizards
Струва ми се, че Визардс не са сигурни в продажбите на книгите в стария формат, което не ме учудва, предвид че плащането на DDI излиза по-евтино и удобно за първите няколко години. Ще видим какво ще последва - White Wolf също пробваха да се правят на иноватори със свити издавания и опити за минаване на "електронен формат", но съдейки по това, че ще издават на печат тазгодишните си "ексклузивно електронни" издания, явно са размислили. Компаниите пробват непрекъснато различни неща, така че не мисля че е нищо сензационно.
Конкретно минаването към по-малки и евтини книжки може да е реакции към някакво свиване на пазара(въпреки че аз не бих си ги купил именно заради намаланата здравина), или към това, че някои хора(май и аз) се подразниха на това че ПХБ2 дойде с някакви тъпи и безмислени класове, а ПХБ3 дойде с някакви тъпи и безмислени раси.
Заглавие: Re: [Info & Дискусия] Бъдещият lineup на Wizards
Аз съм заинтригуван повече от сетинговите книги, Nentir Vale и намекът за материал по Icewind Dale ми допадат доста повече от още една книга пълна с класове/пауъри/фийтове и т.н. Не, че ще я откажа Shadow книжката, де...
Обаче има и нещо друго - Wizards бяха казали, че, след Essentials линията, през 2011 ще продължат с традиционните книги с твърди корици, а още не са започнали да издават малките книжки, за да са си взели изводи от нивото на успеха им.
ПП Caverns of Icewind Dale плочките също излизат при търсене в Амазон.
Също, книгата за Nentir Vale изглежда ще е часто от поредица, "Gazeteer" е името на серия от 14 книги за Basic D&D.
The first product listed for January 2011 is a Dungeon Tiles set called Caverns of Icewind Dale. It will include “tiles with which to build icy caves, winter backdrops, and other exciting encounter locations.” This Dungeon Tiles product is actually thematically tied to the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, much like the Desert of Athas dungeon tiles set from this year.
Чакам само да изплюят камъчето ... IWD, ида!
Цитат:
The next product is set for February release and is a Deluxe Dungeon Master’s Screen for 4th Edition. The screen will supposedly have artwork by the one and only Wayne Reynolds, but other than that it sounds like it is similar in construction and quality to the original 4E DM screen though it will almost certainly have updated rules and information on the inside of the screen. The retail price listed is $9.95.
Ок, явно ще е не по-зле от предишния, който си е прекрасен, без да се броят неточностите в една-две таблици.
Цитат:
February will also see the release of a book titled Gazetteer: The Nentir Vale which is described as a paperback 6″ x 9″ book much like Player’s Option: Heroes of Shadow. This will be the first in a new series of supplements that spotlights specific regions in the 4E D&D core world.
Gazetteer: The Nentir Vale provides the definitive guide to the Nentir Vale region, introduced in the Dungeons & Dragons Fantasy Roleplaying Game Starter and the Dungeon Master’s Kit. Herein you’ll find adventure hooks, NPCs, maps, and detailed information about specific locations within the Vale. The material in this book can also be adapted to any campaign setting.
The overview of the series indicates that future Gazetteer supplements will detail regions beyond the Nentir Vale, further expanding the core world setting of the base 4th Edition products such as the “H”-series of adventures (Keep on the Shadowfell, etc).
Дам... чакам.
Цитат:
The last new product that is featured in the catalog is set for April 2011 release and it is a hardcover book titled Mordenkainen’s Magnificent Emporium. This 160 page book will be the next book in the line of the two Adventurer’s Vault books, but this time it will supposedly have more history and fluff provided for each magic item that is presented.
Welcome to Mordenkainen’s Magnificent Emporium, a wondrous collection of magic items – each one with a story to tell. This tome provides Dungeon Masters with a ready assortment of treasures to tempt greedy players, along with historical nuggets and alluring adventure hooks that set these items apart from your run-of-the-mill flaming sword or bag of holding. This book adds rich flavor to the treasures and trinkets presented within, and a dash of inspiration for Dungeon Masters looking to liven up a monster’s trove. Hold on to your magic hats – everything must go!
Hardcover! Повече fluff! Oh là là...

Още няма официална информация за Player's Option: Heroes of Shadow и Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium, но за сметка на това още един теч ни осигури каталогa на WotC за ранната 2011, който получават магазините. Не е нищо кой знае какво ново, но е право от източника.
Едит: Пътвият пост е ъпдейтнат с информацията от официалния каталог.
Едит 2: Слети са двата последни поста.
Едит 3: Добавям поста от 17.08.
Преди седмица-две на GenCon Wizards имаха една доста заинтригуваща презентация относно бъдещите продукти през 2011. Тук презентацията е във формата на podcast, има и снимков материал. На Critical-Hits има и писмен overview, придружен със снимки от самата презентация.
От новите неща аз лично съм хвърлил око на Shadowfell boxset-a, Neverwinter Campaign Guide-a, за няколко други още се колебая.
Заглавие: Re: [Info & Дискусия] Бъдещият lineup на Wizards
Продължавам да обновявам първия пост спрямо каталога на Wizards, пускам новини за нови книжки и т.н. когато ги има и виждам, че има някакви нови преглеждания след новите мнения. Въпросът ми, тъй като (все още) не мога да чета умове през Ethernet кабела, е следния: Върши ли ви някаква работа тази тема, но не виждате нужда от дискусия или й липсва всякакъв смисъл? Питам, за да разбера дали има причина да продължавам.

На мен ми върши. Въпреки че Уизърдс тотално ме загубиха като клиент с 4е, продължавам да събирам електронни версии на книгите им от чисто колекционерска гледна точка. Освен това тъй като не им следя сайта, си сверявам часовника относно идващите издания оттук.

Не съм много наясно, понеже не ме заинтригува особено, но до колкото разбрах е точно това, като са наблегнали на шантавите мутации и технологии, предполагам сетинга ще е нещо като Fallout.
Догодина Ravenloft по същия начин ще получи собствена ролева игра, само че ще е съвместима с 4Е правилата, което го прави самостоятелна игра-сетинг.
А "Player's Handbook: Champions of the Heroic Tier" и "Hero Builder’s Handbook" изглеждат като заместители на Unearthed Arcana книгите от предишни издания. Много странно какво ще излезе от тях, до колкото разбрах още не са започнали разработка, но в podcast-а споменаха правила за професии...
Едит: Ето unboxing видео на Gamma World, става доста ясно за какво става въпрос.
От кога искам да играя като разумен рояк плъхове...
