Im wondering if those four archetypes on the cover will be the only playable ones in the book. Or will there be more Chaos based archetypes in it that haven't been mentioned?
Look In just want to play an evil Chaos Psionic Sphynx cat
I know that I can't wait to play as a Tzaangor Shaman. Especially after reading bout the "round disks" they ride on. Even got the perfect dice set to use when I get around to playing as one!
And it looks like Champions of Chaos is pretty much Soulbound 2nd Edition since started off as an expansion, but is know it's own thing if I'm reading it correctly.

I would be surprised if a Baldies Gate 4 hits the same thing in the bottle like BG3 did.
On name recognition alone AND fond memories of BG3 might even make it a success.But everybody would probably go "Man, it's not as good as BG3" once the honeymoon phase is over.
Case in point:

I want those alt covers badly. And I'm better make sure to pre-order em when I can cuz I have a hunch that once they are out, they could be a pain in the butt to get at market retail value value. Those scalpers will probably try to jack up the prices to ride on that BG3 high/popularity.
My purple planet backerkit experience was smooth. I just got the Collectors Alt cover and the latest DCC rulebook cover with the chick straddling the Eldritch abomination. So, probably a good thing I didn't go hog wild if they screwed up that bad.
