OT: Blizzard Entertainment books

Originally Blizzard had three books scheduled for each of their three franchises. Now there's only one Diablo book with the second indefinitely pushed back, and two of the other two franchises. Did they cancel the series?

 

They were supposed to write a StarCraft series. Was that canceled as well?

 

Only 2 books, and 1 e-book for starcraft. Of course all 3 are stand alones I've heard so it's not like, they cancelled a series on a cliffhanger, I guess.

 

What's this got to do with Star Wars?

 

It has to do with "Literature Forums".

 

Yeah, but isn't this a "Star Wars" literature forum?

 

It is actually just a "Literature Forum".

The admins allow it to be so. I've seen them put up non-sw book threads themselves.

Star Wars are not the only books, and there is a world of great literature out there(as well as escapist lit). So they get discussed her in lit by admins and members alike.

 

I read Warcraft: Day of the Dragon, but haven't been interested in going on to the second novel.
I felt as though the Warcraft novel series would have been more interesting if they transpired during the war and used main characters from the games. Instead, the first novel dealt with an arrogant mage (who I couldn't stand), an elf ranger (who was obviously forced by the author to develop feelings for the mage), a gryphon-riding dwarf (who was pretty funny by the end or so), and Deathwing.
The latter is what kept me reading the book, even though I felt he wasn't being portrayed as he should have been.

I didn't like it. I think they should just have done novelizations of the actual game scenarios. And they didn't include a map. I mean, c'mon...They couldn't have just taken one of the maps from the game manual?

And don't get me started on the cover art...

 

There was 1 eBook each for WarCraft, StarCraft, and Diablo. There were two WarCraft books, 2 StarCraft, and 1 Diablo. The Diablo Book, the first WarCraft book and the second StarCraft book were original. The Second WarCraft book was based on cancelled game Lord of the Clans, but the story is incomplete, they'd need another book to finish it. The first StarCraft book is based on one of the campaigns in the game.
