While Christopher_Rowe seems to be out of forums for a quite long time, I changed a thread that I opened and which was named Post-Spellplague novels to a Post-Spellplague bibliography thread. It gathers titles of the whole panel of everything canon and officilaly released about the 4E Realms.
A link to this thread is in my signature.

Read you soon fellow scribes.
Purple Dragon Knight Posted - 13 Oct 2008 : 04:55:47
Hmmm... maybe I should rename myself as "Purple Dragon Diviner"

It seems I have yet again predicted the departure of yet another fervent supporter of the Sellplague...

Yes... I miss his optimism too...

Fillow, you might want to contact Christopher via his email [see his profile] and discuss this scroll further.
Fillow Posted - 09 Oct 2008 : 20:15:22
Christopher,

I think you could add an article to your list :
"Forgotten Realms - Starting Points in the New Edition" by Phil Athans and Bruce R. Cordell.. Dragon 366 (August 2008): 78-80.
It deals with the Design & Development of the FR4E.

P.S. : and what about the proposed sorting of the list ?
Fillow Posted - 06 Oct 2008 : 20:35:11
You're welcome milady
Rinonalyrna Fathomlin Posted - 06 Oct 2008 : 17:42:41

It's a list of all 4E FR works, for reference.

I know that beloved Rinonalyrna ! Do I seem to be so stupid ?
I already posted in the first page !

I meant I did not understand the aim of the post which is on the top of this second page.
at the end of the first page, I made the classification of the 4E products. In this post, I proposed to Christopher to place my listing instead of his own in the original post on the top of the first page. (I hope I'm understandable !).
With other words, I proposed to edit the original post (top of the page 1) in order to delete Christopher's list and to paste the products classification I made.

So, my last question to Christopher was "Why did you place the both lists (Christopher's and mine) on the top of the second page."

Note II: Thanks to the tireless efforts of Scribe Fillow, this bibliography is now presented in two forms. The "raw" version immediately below is a simple, alphabetized list. Below that, Fillow has subdivided the entries by type and chronologically reordered them so that, within each category, they appear in order of date of publication. Further, the second list also contains entries for material that has appeared on official schedules, but has not yet been published.

Of course, between them, Dragon and Dungeon have printed half a Player's Guide worth of material in the last three months. If they keep up this pace, I'm sure to fall behind soon!



Yes, if they keep up this pace , we may soon noy worry how much is in "print" form!

Thanks, Walker, I added that this morning!

How about this article found by my friend KnightErrantJR:

Children of Darkness from Dragon 367 pages 63-73

In other news, added the article "Primordial Paths" to the bibliography.

Oooopppps! Your right.
Fillow Posted - 29 Sep 2008 : 19:41:39
I cracked down Christopher and opened the new project thread Christopher ! (here)
But you're of course the leader of the 4E index project while you was the first to bring it up !
Christopher_Rowe Posted - 28 Sep 2008 : 21:13:46
My opinion is that you are one high energy man, Fillow!

I will think about launching a 4E indexing community project. I would not want to distract people from Kuje's though!
Fillow Posted - 28 Sep 2008 : 20:51:18
Christopher, about an 4E index... I totally agree with what you wrote about it in the community project thread. While there is a quite limited amount of material, we should initiate now a new index.

AFA I'm concerned, I own the FRCG, the FRPG, I've read and annotated Swordmage and I've just received Blackstaff Tower and Mistshore.

What about begin a new project ? not by yourself alone but with the community.
According to me, an Excel file could be really usable. I know Kuje disagrees with this type of file and he prefers Word files.
The files I sent Kuje were done from an Excel file :
1st column : topic (geography, character, race, organization,...)
2nd column : the entry itself
3rd column : the source book
4th column and following ones : the page(s) where the entry was (were) found.

What about dispatching pages of the both first sourcebooks within the scribes who want to participate ?
I will begin to collect the annotations from Swordmage this week.
Your opinion Christopher ?
Fillow Posted - 28 Sep 2008 : 20:14:43
I neither do think that the "Dragon born" article from Dragon 365 could be a realms-related one.
Christopher_Rowe Posted - 28 Sep 2008 : 15:20:49
Thanks, Red Walker. That's a "core" article, though, isn't it?

Christopher_Rowe Posted - 27 Sep 2008 : 16:26:04
Thanks Ashe and Sage. I went ahead and added them. Y'all's reasons that I should don't actually match up with my motivation for collecting the material or my vision of what it should be, but if I was doing this to meet my needs I'd just keep this as a document in my private notes.

And I must admit, one of the main reasons I was hesitant to include the entries is the inconsistent way the digital Dragon issues were presented pre Fourth Edition. Couple that with the fact that some writers' bylines appear inconsistently (with and without initials, "Rich" in one place and Richard in another) and well, the parallel structure of my homebrewed bibliographical format gets blown to the Abyss!

These three excellent articles cover two different types of ground: (1) material that's more or less a preview of what wound up in the FRCG, and (2) material that predates the Year of the Ageless One, and thus is technically outside the start date of the 4E campaign timeline.

I'm leaning against inclusion at the moment, but want to hear from others.

I'd include them, if only because some scribes viewing this scroll may not have access to the FRCG. As such, their reading of those articles may help them to make an more informed decision about whether 4e FR is for them, and whether they wish to purchase the FRCG.
Ashe Ravenheart Posted - 27 Sep 2008 : 04:33:24
My personal opinion is that anything that occurred after the Spellplague is 4th Edition. It seems to be the keystone in a lot of the 3.X/4E debates and is the milestone many use for 4E canon material. But, this is only my opinion.
