DragonCon, Eberron, and Project Raptor

It’s been a long month! Earlier in August, Wizards of the Coast announced Eberron: Rising From The Last War. I can confirm that I’ve been working on this book throughout the year, and I’m excited to see it coming to fruition. In addition, I’m continuing to work on my own Eberron book for the DM’s Guild, Project: Raptor; you can see the first rough draft of an important image above. Of course, “Project: Raptor” is just a code name, tied to an old joke about someone expecting the sourcebook to be 300 pages of dinosaurs. I’m going to reveal the ACTUAL title this Friday at my Eberron panel at DragonCon.

What’s that? That’s right! This weekend I’ll be at DragonCon in Atlanta, and I’m on a lot of panels! Here’s the list:

If you’re going to be at DragonCon, I hope you’ll be able to attend one or more of these panels. Beyond that, if you see me at the con, I’m almost (ALMOST) always happy to talk about Eberron, Phoenix: Dawn Command, Illimat, or anything else I’ve created!

That’s it: I hope to see you there!

  1. Absolutely looking forward to all of the announcements with Eberron and Twogether Studios. Hopefully those attending will be nice and share information! Have a great Dragoncon!

  2. Are those Warforged Titans I see?! IS THIS FEATURING MY FAVOURITE (no longer a) NATION!? As you can probably tell, I’m very excited indeed! Wish I could have seen the panels and I’ve already pre-ordered Rising from the Last War; I’m loving this setting right now.

  3. I’m worried about the lack of news since this post. Were you C&Ded in some fashion? Or just asked to hold off for a few months so the official book can sell first?
