For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

But I gotta comment on "Dragon Magazine Annual, Volume 1". Mother of Lurue, is there some reason WotC is compelled to constantly reuse names?!? As if a Draconomicon for 2E, 3E, and 4E isn't enough, now they've got to reuse magazine names? This is getting ridiculous...  |

Like that information is useful at all to running a game... yeesh.

WotC mastered it in 3E.  20 pages in some books for totally useless Prestige Classes, when they could have produced more Realmslore.  Dont get me started about feats. 
On topic the Star Wars stuff is so mine!

And it's a hardcover, with a correspondingly higher price. It might even be cheaper to buy the individual issues the articles came in, rather than springing for the hardcover. |

Edit: added underlined section, to clarify.
Exactly how many DDI-subscription-only Realms articles have been published in Dragon since it went 'electronic'? I seem to recall three, so that's about $9.95 an article. Thank you, but I think I'll pass on the 'annual' and rather buy four novels. |

Yup, you got it Damian. I meant DDI subscribed articles, not the 4€ freebies we got. I will edit my previous post appropriately. |

Note there were FAR more written before they started charging... although a few of those I would count as long advertisements and NOT articles.
Now compare that to all the Realms articles over the 3e years - all of which are still available for FREE. It seems the more they want, they less they are willing to give.
The DDi isn't about FR, it's about playing 4e, so if you aren't planning to do so, it's a complete waste... as is that Dragon Compendium, and it's mutual back-slapping "behind the scenes" garbage.
However, if I were ever to play 4eD&D (stranger things have happened), I would gladly pay for the DDi because then it's offerings would be useful to me.
I still wouldn't buy that compendium though... I think they need to stop re-milking old cows and come-out with something new for a change.
And will the amazing Headless Zhent be making an appearance in that tome? |

Mayhap a reason the Realms got the big reboot? Not much new in this version of the Realms. A bunch of Old Empires that are new again

No. I quite enjoyed many of the non-Ed articles. I have a great many of them parked on my hard drive. |

Indeed. Like Eric Boyd's "Mintipers's Chapbook" series and Steven Schend's "Realms By Night" articles for example. Good and wholesome Realmslore from the early 3e period.

So what about it? That particular series of articles was crap. There have been a whole lot of other articles, though, and a large percentage of them were quite well received. I've got literally hundreds of articles I've grabbed from the WotC site, over the years, and the only (non-4E) ones I have complaints about were the Adventure Locales and the Return to Undermountain ones. |

Paizo's catalog for 2009 is full of *awesome* stuff... Cities of Golarion, Legacy of Fire AP, Dungeon Denizens Revisited, Bastards of Erebus AP, Dwarves of Golarion (with stronghold maps, no less), Cheliax, Taldor, Guide to Absalom, The Great Beyond (just to name a few)... and the most surprising product: City Map Folio, which includes bird's eye view maps of the cities in the Valerie Valusek-style (the amazing map she did of Waterdeep).
Seems like I'm going to be dirt poor by the end of the year, but I think it'll be well worth it! |

Since I didn't really get an answer to my question, I did some searching myself and found that up to now only four of the Dragon articles Christopher listed require both a DDI subscription and can be considered Realms articles:
"Adventurers of the Realms, "Playing Shadar-kai", "Backdrop: Tarmalune" and "Ecology of the Sharn".
By the time the 'annual' gets published, and at the current rate of publication, it'd be about 8 articles @ $3.75 each. Of course we'd get the other 100 pages for free if all the 'Realms articles' make the "best" cut in the first place. |

At a guess, with the new rules that more closely tie the powers of clerics, paladins, invokers and avengers to the portfolios of their deities previewed from Divine Power today, I bet we'll be seeing a string of articles about Realms deities. The placeholders left open in the Compendium under all the Realms greater gods, gods, and exarchs makes me even more hopeful that that's the case. |
My Realms novel, Sandstorm, is now available for ordering. |

Not me. I was just looking at the Dragon Compendium. It has content from several years' worth of Dragon, not just one, has almost 100 more pages, and is only $10 more. And Monster Ecologies -- also from several years of Dragon -- was 130 pages, softcover, and $19.99.
So 30 pages less and softcover is $10 less, and 100 pages more in hardcover is $10 more.
If it was a 160 page softcover for $20 or $25, I'd be closer to being interested. |
