Either our world or, perhaps, Gothic Earth.

Agreed. That's an immense shame. I was incredibly excited when I first heard about this novel line, so seeing at least two of those novels get cancelled is pretty disappointing. :(
Man lives in the sunlit world
Of what he believes to be reality.
But, there is, unseen by most, an underworld,
A place that is just as real,
But not as brightly lit.....

Got my copy of Mithras Court.

Just read a few dozen pages. London 1892, there is a subway station that isn't supposed to be there (a domain or an oubliette-like place), with zombies. Sounds fun so far.

And I've browsed through the book and found vistani mentions.

Back later for more details!

Well if there are new things for 2009, sure :)

Worlds of D&D Comics

A future issue should have the Caretaker adaptation.

Anybody got this one? I juste realised I never got issues 7 and 8 of this serie, so I might have missed it.

Caretaker was in #6. There are two covers, the more expensive one has Strahd on it. I didn't spring for the Soth cover, but I can't resist Strahd, so I'm ordering it through my local comic shop.
