So I am wondering, is WotC actually trying to bring neverwinter into current mythos' AND does that mean that we will get more games etc etc?
Spoiler
Personally I thought the series was over with the death of magic and his wife in the last book, so I was shocked to see this new book. I have yet to pick it up, but I will get it very soon. Anyone read it yet?

Gautlegrym - Pre-Ordered it, have only read a chapter or so, but it is as good as the rest of his books so far. Cover flap says they are headed straight for the city of Neverwinter. This book gets intense even in the prologue, don't skip it  |

ghost king was not the best... so really hoping this one turns around the series.

Was a pretty good book.
The new Wheel of Time was a must read as well.

Was a pretty good book. The new Wheel of Time was a must read as well. Definitely, even though he screwed up Mat's character, IMO, the Sanderson books are the best in the series. Partly owing to the coming together of so many longstanding plot threads, and partly owing to excellent pacing. Funky |

Partly owing to the coming together of so many longstanding plot threads, and partly owing to excellent pacing. Funky One day I will read all the books in order. The neat thing about Robert Jordan's world is that the plot is so insanely developed that you could reread the series and still be picking up on stuff. The way I see it most authors work a week on a plot, Robert Jordan spent years on each one. I would say that Sanderson has not done to bad. After they announced the new author a few years ago i ordered his Mistborn series. You can tell why he was picked, Mistborn was a pretty good set of books. The magic system is very original, a bit refreshing from the classic innate ability mages have in DnD type books. |

Agreed, I like the Mistborn trilogy. His other works, all singletons, however, aren't nearly as good. Warbreaker I found particularly blah.

I'd have to agree that the new Wheel of Time was one of the best, but again I can't tell if it's because I enjoy Sanderson's style or because I'd been waiting soooooo long for a lot of those plot threads to wind up. Regardless, he's done a great job of weaving a coherent story from the massive number of plot threads he was left with, and I am confident he is going to give the series the ending it deserves with the final book, I really can't wait.

Jordan wrote the ending ending already, though I'm guessing you were referring to the last book as a whole. Funky |

Trying? The city of Neverwinter has existed for nearly 15 years now. I'd say that the one and only time that Wizards did anything with "bringing" Neverwinter into mythos was when it bought the rights to the Forgotten Realms material from TSR. Since then, the city--and virtually everything that's used in the computer games--has been part of official (i.e. WotC-owned) Forgotten Realms lore.
