You Secret Projectors, if I may use such a term, are having entirely too much fun at our expense. What is this, the Washington State Illuminati thread? I think a teeny, tiny clue is in order to restore the balance, no?

I have NO little secret related to D&D by now (DMing Savage Tide is no secret to any Dungeon reader).
However, I DO have another little secret due at the beginning of march...
It's the kind of secret I can share with people like F2K, Peruhain or Heathansson as far as I know (at least, but probably others !), since they already have had the same kind of little secret...

Is it the Eberron supplement about the Last War because that is already being advertised on Amazon.
I was hoping that Erik's project would be listed on Amazon by now.
Nah, that was just a quick snack between meatier bits: a historical compilation, plus some Thrane and Breland army details.
The one that makes me want to blab (because I started it more than a year ago, and it won't see print for another 5 months) is a Paizo feature article that .... GAH!!! Almost talked about it. :)
I'm glad the word for the Last War is out on Amazon, though. I should probably do the "Behind teh Scenes" thing on it over at Open Design soonish.

...details the Land of Black Ice? That would be sweet; my berserker, Broak Fifteen-Gods, is from there.

Depends. What do you want to know?
Like usual I am probably the last one to find out about this project. I have no idea who the author is, but I am very excited about a return trip to the demonweb pits. I just get that great feeling inside whenever any of the old modules that I grew up with rear their heads again.

That would be me, mostly.

Alas, I mention elsewhere on the boards that this is not a revision of Q1. It's more of a Planescape take on Lolth and a new plot.

But Wolfgang, this Demonweb Pits project isn't the "secret project" you and MikeMcA are psyched about that's going to be in Dragon next year...
Can you say if your project has anything to do with Greyhawk?
Or maybe you could just say if it definitely is NOT related to Greyhawk...?
Classic fans want to know!

It has nothing to do with Greyhawk. It is the evil opposite of Greyhawk, the anti-Greyhawk, it's got no Greyhawk in it.
It is, however, a bit of new weird wonder. I'm sure they'll announce it at some point.

Commodore Greyhawk! The sailing Greyhawk!
Greyhawk needs boats, Greyhawk needs boats! :)
I am so happy Archade caught that totally obscure reference.
oooh, secret projects are neat in themselves. I hope someone is given a secret project that has something to do with Dark Sun soon!
Since JJ´s secret project is neat, will it also have Kate Beckinsale in it?

No, he actually means 'Mirror Mirror Greyhawk'... if you look closely there is a little goatee hanging off the Tilvanot Peninsula.This is hilarious for reasons that won't be clear for at least another 10 months or so. Remember that you said it.
--Erik
10 months... let me think : this is about the end of the Savage Tide AP and the 12th installment, isn't it ?!
Will it have an influence on the Tilvanot & the Scarlet Brotherhood ?!

Something I read in Eric Mona's own campaign thread

"Secret Project is done. He's promised we'll play this week, which means I should look into getting Tyralandi's journal all updated, I supppose..."
Who will begin to bug him anew? ;-)
Greetings,

Erik:
I'll give you $1000 for a copy of the secret project today!
:P
Would it have anything to do with.....bat people? In the backstory of I1?
Heathansson (lord of the animal heads)
That would be Neat.
Exactly; the secret project is really The Big Book of Animal-Heads. :)
all the grousing is really just a smokescreen for Erik's true passion. ;)

This isn't the China Mieville/New Crobuzon/Perdido Street Station article is it?
If so, the cat's out of the bag. ;)
If not, color me curious.

Hurray for cats that leave bags! I started writing it more than a year ago, and I'm delighted that it has finally made its way into the Trade Preview press. Or whereever you found it.
Is there a thread on ENWorld I missed or something?

Westfield's got it.

Hurray indeed!
Here's the ENWorld thread that leaked it.
I'm reading Perdio Street Station right now, and it is fantastic. I can't wait to see this article. :)
I too have a secret project, but unlike Erik and James, mine is for Paizo. It will probably appear in Dragon 353 (February) but I ... still ... can't talk ... about it. GAH!!
It's killing me, this particular one.
is it one of these? :)

Edit: duh, Shade already caught that one, in a different issue. ;)
Any other kitties exiting sacks on secret projects?
not that i know of, but there is always hope. ;)
Never heard of China Miéville before, but sure sounds interesting. And as several books are available in german as well, I´ll go looking for them. (Did I mention that I´m a HPL and CAS fan, and generally love strange stories ?)

Maybe this is the reason (there is a goatee involved :-) ??
Expedition to Castle Greyhawk
A Wizards of the Coast presentation given at GenCon in 2006 discussed the upcoming line of "Expedition to..." books, and later showed a cover of an unnamed work from WotC in 2007. The cover showed a bald mage with a very Mordenkainen-like beard and staff looking into a crystal ball. Inside the crystal ball was a castle that was nearly identical to the castle from an old Castle Greyhawk module.
From this it can be assumed that there is an upcoming Expedition to Castle Greyhawk module or setting book. The fact that Erik Mona has said that he's working on a "top secret" project for Wizards of the Cost further suggests that he would be the author, as he is a logical choice for any exploration of Greyhawk history.
This is from: http://www.ajs.com/ajswiki/Erik_Mona's_Greyhawk
Bocklin
That's certainly one of the more popular theories.
--Erik
What a frickin' tease. A pox on you, Mr. Mona.
No he's working on a new Top Secret and goatees as all of us who remember the original know affect your combat abilities to an absolutely huge degree.
Excerpt from play: Yeah, I'm playing a 180 lb., 6' 2", bi-focal wearing, south paw, with an overbite, freckles and a goatee currently I am facing southward into the Winter sun, somewhere in New Jersy. He's armed with a child's toy spatula (treat as a spatula under 6" long). Now my peglegged albino, dwarf opponent....(3 hours later) So this round I have a whole +2 to hit.... I hold my action.
Since when did Erik start posting here? I thought this was one of the Maure threads.
;)
GGG
WOTC listed on its project page that Erik, Jason and James are indeed the authors of Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk. Release date Aug 2007.
