Hey, guys. I wanted to let you know about this, in case you didn't see the links from the WotC publishing page.

A while back, I was contracted to write a novel entitled Black Crusade, as part of the new Ravenloft: Dominion fiction line. (For those who don't know, the point behind that line was, at least in part, to draw characters and setting into Ravenloft from Earth history, rather than other D&D setting.) Alas, that line was canceled before the novel could be published in hard copy.

However, the novel is still going to see the light of day (or maybe "the dark of night" would be more appropriate for Ravenloft). It's appearing as a weekly serial, published on the WotC site. The prologue is up here--http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4dnd/20090116--with new chapters supposed to appear on a weekly basis.

Hope you all enjoy.

In case people missed, it, chapters one and two are up now as well.

One: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4dnd/20090123

Two: http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4dnd/20090130

Chapter four: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4dnd/20090213

Chapter six (with one of my favorite lines in the entire book) is up: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4dnd/20090227

I'm very happy that they are at least releasing this. After the way the book department fell down on the new novels. (didn't advertise them, failed to follow through with scheduled ones etc) at least we got two new ones out of the deal (Heaven's Bones and Mithras Court) but even those didnt have the ravenloft logo so no one knows about them.
at least this one is being seen by the fans.
