Amazon has this listed at $84.99, not sure what the MSRP is. Anyone else agree that this seems extremely high for 200 pages of content? I'm sure this price will come down on Amazon but probably not at your FLGS. We all knew that prices were going up but this seems drastic.

LGS's are going to get royally screwed. The price absurd.

I desided that I was going to try the Digital + Physical Bundle, which apparently comes with extra digital stuff like Modron Dice and special character sheets.

List price is $95, but its on sale for 80, but then $10 in taxes, but it turns out its in usd, why would they convert it to local currency like steam? No idea, ended up spending $130+ Canadian Dollars. Like damn.

Still its $85usd on US Amazon, no price yet on Amazon Canada, and doesn't come with digital (digital is $50usd by itself).

My gut tells me that this is WotC's way of trying to get people to switch to D&D Beyond. With a $35 difference it just might work. I understand that the cost of just about everything has gone up in the last 3 years, but I can't see any way to justify that much of a price increase. If that's the cost for 200 pages I can only imagine what the 300+ pages for the D&D2024 core books are going to cost.

They tend to subsidize the core books price wise, to suck you in.

That occurred to me as well and you may be right. OTOH though if they suspect that most people are only going to buy the core books they may be more than one would expect.

the 2024 books will cost $60, that is their new price for books. Planescape is a boxed set of three books, that is why it has a higher price, just like SJ cost more than a book

they make money on those books, just slightly less than on a 200 page or so book

and yet WotC said that there is not one true canon and eg the Dragons (Fizban) and the Giants (Bigby) have different ideas about the origin of the worlds.

Yeah, that smacks of laziness to me. It's basically, "We don't want to be held accountable if something is released that contradicts something we released before so we are getting rid of canon. That way we don't have to worry about it."

Guess we'll see come 2024. As for SJ I paid ~$45, its now listed on Amazon for ~$38 a far cry from the $70 MSRP. Whether its a book or a boxed set thats still a pretty steep price for PS

that is your prerogative, I prefer them making multiple suggestions and I can then pick and choose, alter or ignore.

40 years of D&D and there hasn't been an edition yet where I haven't been able to alter or ignore canon.

As far as suggestions go, and that is what these are, I prefer having several over having a single one

Having canon hasn't stopped that in the past. Getting rid of canon now doesn't suddenly allow it. In the past we got "This is the way this event happened" which is canon, and we also got, "No one really knows how this happened, here are 5 things people think about it" which means there is no canon on that event.
