Just got the WotC 2008 Summer Catalog

[Arnwyn]

Thanks for the info!

(Woo-hoo, another Huge pack for minis! The only ones I actually buy.)

$34.95 for a 224-page DMG?

A bit...pricey that.

Maybe it's just me, but when I compare that price with that of tickets at a movie theater or a meal at a decent restaurant, it sounds amazing. My 3e & 3.5e DMGs have facilitated years of entertainment. And if I pick up the 4e DMG, which I likely will, it will probably do so too. That's pretty damn good for $34.95.

That Drizzt guide looks pretty meaty. Might be of general interest to a FR DM.

 

[Keefe the Thief]

The biggest price Offender for me are the Adventures. 25-30$ for a 96 page book that will likely be used only once?

Not books - folders, it seems, with DM book, player book and several maps. Handouts, too? Shades of Dark Sun adventures.

Actually, shades of Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde...

Joël

Based on what he said on his livejournal, probably nothing.

Ari won't be around for a while.

Fair enough.

But when you look at the item above it and see $34.95 for 320 pages, well, $34.95 for only 224 pages seems pricey to me.

only a novel......


not much love for Eberron

 

[thalmin]

WotC said one setting a year, starting with Forgotten Realms. I think Eberron is scheduled for 2009.
