An old cowboy toast in appreciation of your work:
May your horse never stumble,
May your spurs never rust,
May your guts never grumble,
and your cinch never bust.
May your boots never pinch,
May your crops never fail,
May you drink lots of beer,
and stay yout of jail!
Cheers!
Good Hunting! |

Looking forward to this one:
Waterdhavian Themes
By Andrew G. Schneider
Play a Blackstaff apprentice, a clone of Halaster the Mad Mage , or a Masked Lord of Waterdeep. |
"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

Yeah, sounds cool 
Halaster returns in: "Clone Wars II -Why I took in a stasis clone of Manshoon in the first place"
Undermountain will now not have one Halaster but several  |

Dungeon 200 will have this in it:
Backdrop: Skullport
By Matt Goetz
The run-down, rat-infested, subterranean pirate haven below Waterdeep isn’t as abandoned as folks were led to believe! |

I consulted with Matt a little on this article. I'm anxious to see how it turns out!
EDIT: Oh, and I may have worked with the James Brothers on the OP article as well. Ah, to be a consultant.

| Skullport was really a neat place. I was surprised it was "nuked" in 4E. I wonder if the Eye is still around, that old crusty 45HD elder orb. Since we have a big underdark theme starting this summer and the new DDO game is pushing into Sschindylryn...someone should do a backdrop for the City of Portals! At any rate can't wait for this backdrop to come out. :) |

| I wonder if it will have something about the Promenade... |

It wasn't really nuked--just left undeveloped, so dms could do whatever they wanted with it. Now we're finally getting some official lore.

| Not cancelled. WotC wanted some changes, so the Thieves' Guild article has been postponed till later in the year. |

They seem to be taking extra care to polish it as shiny as possible. One hopes this is a good sign, and I think it is.

| It would appear WotC completely abandoned this. Sorry folks. Wish I knew why. |

| Sorry to hear that Matt. Maybe something from your work can find its way into future products. |
Look for me and my content at EN World (user name: sanishiver). |
