White Wolf's Sword & Sorcery division (and Monte Cook's Malhavoc Press) have corrected and supplemented information S&S provided for our previous article on Arcana Evolved (see 'S&S Plans Arcana Evolved').  

 

Author Monte Cook describes Arcana Evolved as more of a 'director's cut' than a new edition.  It will include all the material from Arcana Unearthed, The Diamond Throne, plus most of the Player's Guide from the Screen in a 416-page, full-color book.  Rather than making changes, it adds new material and collects previously published material in a new, more elaborate package.  The price will be $49.99, rather than $39.99 as we were previously told.  

 

Mike Mearls' Mystic Secrets:  The Lore of Word and Rune, due out in November, can be used with either Unearthed or Evolved; Cook says that visually it's a 'bridge' product between Unearthed and Evolved. 

 

In April, another Mearls book, Ruins of Intrigue, will be released by Malhavoc. 

 

And Iron Wind Metals is planning tie-in miniatures for Arcana Evolved to be released in February.  Fiery Dragon will also release support products.
