Great to hear that last part. You may want to cross post that to the DLC thread, as people were already getting preemptively upset over the possibility they may not be.

If this is the breakdown for both books, I will be delighted. The player-facing gazateer is my only worry, but there should be plenty of pages to give a decent overview. It's really sounding like a pretty sold release.

So, there are 48 deities detailed in SCAG, and only 42 here, so six are being relegated. SCAG had a lot of minor demigods in the list, so I imagine those are going to be the first on the metaphorical chopping block.

It's kind of interesting how we thought this book would be the bigger of the two. From the Amazon description, it looks like the general setting gazateer is actually in HoF, which brings down the page count here and adds to the other one. Efkt: Ugh, cant do math lol. This book is still the...

Definitely looks like it! Alias has replaced the boob window armor, unsurprisingly.

By the way, click around on D&D Beyond - each book/bundle has different art showcased! Some of the art is repeated, but HoF has a nice Selûne/Shar piece, as well as one of Elminster. AiF has some Red Wizards and some really pretty landscapes.

I'm going to guess they will likely be in the main bestiary.

1501 DR is the Year of the Shining Mythal, which does sound fairly portentous. And I'm glad they're moving the calendar up a few years, and actually specifying one instead of kind of dancing around the subject like in earlier 5e products.

There's a lot from the panel on the Game Informer article thread, which we've been using as the main discussion for the books here.

I would have to believe that they would individually go on sale, if not at the same time as the product, at least sometime relatively soon afterwards. I can see them keeping them exclusive to the bundle for a bit (but not permanently) in order to give the bundle extra value, and take advantage...

Oh, so it's back? That was a really useful equipment source book back in 2e.

The 2 monsters will likely be for familiars, with one being the tressym.

We were theorizing that the Setting Guide would be in AiF, but the Amazon description puts the "Setting Guide" in HoF. So that could definitely make it the bigger book if that section runs up the page count. I would assume most of the maps you mentioned in a other post will be illustrating...

Wow, they've changed it quite a bit from previous editions.

Interesting that they kept 3 of the 4 from.the regular cover, but substituted in the helmet guy with staff at the bottom for Minsc. The other three are still recognizably the same.

That's going to throw a wrench into the cover art thread lol.

They basically took over Sembia for a bit, but in the end they were overthrown, and the last of their floating cities crashed over Myth Drannor.

Thank you! If you can, ask how much coverage the areas outside the mini-settings will be getting. Hopefully they'll just say outright though...

That does given some wiggle room for things for gold vs. shield crunch, such as putting in alternate abilities for gold with shield as the same as the PHB, simply because those would be new  lineages and not species. That's just hope and speculation on my part, though.

The dwarves baking was pretty cool, actually, although the baking was just one character (everyone else is forging/blacksmithing). All the PHB species section art was basically "what this species looks like when at home."
