I noticed they did a hidden price increase with shipping costs. It used to be free shipping.

A lot of free shipping options are disappearing. That's due to a lot of political and economic issues that aren't relevant to the topic. Suffice to say this isn't WotC being evil, the cost of shipping is no longer sustainable.

Sorry if I missed it, but is there a release date mentioned?

I never said they were evil but it is a hidden price hike versus previous pre orders.

Folks should know that they tacked on an additional $6.99.

Has there been any word on the special edition alt cover? Hoping for something with the same chutzpah as the Rising From the Last War cover - hands down the best cover and I won't hear otherwise.

The lower price point somehow makes me uneasy. It makes me worry that there won't be much here beyond an update to 5+ ed.

It was billed as a supplement to Rising from the Last War: so, yes, there won't be much there beyond the upgrades to 2024.

Does MotM follow the 2024 rules? I skipped out on it because I have all of the relevant earlier books.

It basically was the first 2024 rules book.

It seems they are playing around with more Art Nouveau. especially with the warforged. It's not a deal breaker but I'm not a fan. Going forward, Eberron will probably be my default go to. I want to embrace more of that pulp/noir vibe and I am happy to hear they are providing guidelines to support those campaign styles.

I mean you can do that already with pretty much any D&D setting but I prefer to wear those influences on my sleeve so to speak.

I am LOVING the shift in art direction for Eberron. The zeppelin style airship is pretty slick! The new warforged is fun too!
