Quote from: jibbajibba;473322So what was the first RPG city suppliment?

City State of the Invincible Overlord.

In other news, soon from WotC: the first book EVER with WORDS inside.

You wanted it, WotC did it for you. Just for you.
Love, WotC.

Let’s not forget the other exciting titles coming soon from WotC!
 
Tome of Things Your Character Might Purchase (160pp)
Coming September 2011
 
For the first time in recorded RPG history, a book all about additional weapons, items, equipment, and treasure! Now your characters will have something to spend all that gold on!
 
Return To The Return To The Tomb of Horrors (48pp)
Coming October 2011
 
For the first time in recorded RPG history, here’s an incredibly challenging dungeon to your players! Since the hobby was invented in the early spring of 2008, no dungeon has been as deadly! D&D will also introduce traps, a new challenge that should confuse and entertain all but the most min/maxed of characters!
 
Drow With Two Swords And A Magical Goddamn Panther Trilogy (TBD)
Coming November 2011
 
Supplementing the incredible lore of this new Forgotten Realms setting (originally created by Ari Marmell) comes a groundbreaking fantasy trilogy. Witness as a noble-hearted drow attempts to leave the evils of an underground matriarchal realm and live a life of goodness and freedom in Faerun. Fortunately, a stout dwarf, powerful barbarian, mischievous halfling, and an appropriate love interest will accompany him each step of the way. We at WotC can guarantee you this is the first time gaming fiction has been in print! Join us for the founding of a new genre!
 
Greyhawk Campaign Setting (224pp)
Coming December 2011
 
Prepare yourself. For the first time ever, an entire fantasy campaign world, fresh from the fertile mind of Rich Baker and mapped in intricate detail and described before your very eyes. After the Mageblight Moon crashes into The Flanaess, this world of high magic is cast into a cataclysm where only those wearing spiky armor and an inordinate amount of decorative buckles can hope to survive. Explore the enchanted city of Greyhawk, now caught in a terrible civil war between its Dragonborn and Warforged factions!

I just about died reading that.

I would laugh if it weren't so true. No, fuck it, I'm laughing my ass off because it is true.

This made me cry just a little bit on the inside because it's entirely plausible.

One can also mention the CoC supplements about Arkham, Kingsport etc., but it would be like firing on the Red Cross. However, if one really wants to fire on the Red Cross all that's needed is...

...To point out how, usually, info for the DM and the players is conveniently put in different books. :teehee:

Nailed it!

You know how far the mighty WotC has fallen when they start trying to rewrite history.

or you-know, it actually was a typo.

Yes, I made a similar mistake.  I meant to text my ex girlfriend and say "how have you been?"  But I accidentally typed "You ruined my life you fucking bitch!  I hope you burn in Hell!"  Just a simple typo.

You should be on the stage.

Quote from: One Horse Town;473482You should be on the stage.

I thought that was what this was.

Quote from: jeff37923;473485I thought that was what this was.

Sweeping it!

Hang on, that didn't quite work...

Seems to me that in this instance it's hysteria in a teacup.

LOL But, but... that was funny!

Quote from: One Horse Town;473474or you-know, it actually was a typo.

But that's the thing. If any other RPG company had put out such a press release and it'd be brought to attention online, within hours Mongoose' Pete or Paizo's Liza would be online and say 'Ah sorry, yes embarassing, it was a typo, our fault.' and the world would go on.

But not WotC. People contacted WotC customer services and the response they got is pretty much the opposite of (and in fact inconsistent with) 'it was just a typo'. And don't you think that high and almighty Mearls & co. (who's Scot Rouse' successor anyway?) would go online and tweet 20 words to make the whole thing go away. Oh noooes.

And that's the catch. There's this meme that RPG fans are out to get WotC and wouldn't care (or care much less) if any other RPG company had mishandled their press release. That's a classic reversal of cause and effect. We get this (shit)storm in a teapot over WotC time and again because they are pretty much the only RPG company of any note to mishandle these affairs so spectacularly, time and again. And they fail to face it up, time and again, and fail to dissolve things in an easygoing straight forward manner.

In fact, they only have two ways of dealing with these things. Pretending it didn't happen, or whopping out their big boy and give bullshit answers to serious questions.

Now show me one other RPG company which does that.

(Not an rpg company).

Microsoft back in the mid-late 1990's?  :rolleyes:
