The most noteworthy thing for me is that the monsters section here is very short; I assume the monster section in the new books will have a significantly larger page count.

I see we have quite differing views on this. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Also, let's theorize about the 10 regions! I think: 1. The North 2. Anauroch/Cold Lands 3. Western Heartlands 4. Eastern Heartlands 5. Unapproachable East 6. Lands of Intrigue 7. Vilhon Reach/Lake of Steam 8. Old Empires 9. Chultan Penisula 10. Shining South. Maybe a paragraph or two...

With 480 pages to fill between the books, I really don't think that's going to be the case. That's 160 more pages than the 3e FRCS, which also had adventure ideas, prestige classes, and a large number full-page 3e stat blocks for NPCs. And it still found room for a full 134-page geography...

Ok, so the full gazateer is on the DM book, covering even regions outside the five deep-dive areas we already know about. Cool!

I interpreted that as 50 pages of general, non-geographic information of the setting. After gods and equipment, there wouldn't be much room left for much of an overview of the setting! Granted, that might just be basic info for the players, and the actual gazateer is in the DM book. With 480...

So, 10 for each featured region. Hopefully with a nice range of suggested levels.

I assume that's in the Player's Guide? SCAG's section on the deities of the setting was 22 pages, and was pretty decent, so I would guess something similar here. Maybe a bit longer to give more coverage for the non-human deities? And with Goliath being a base species now, maybe the giant...

Simbul’s Synostodweomer isn't new; its been around since 2e at least.

That's really good news as well. The 3e FRCS was 320 pages in total, which was what I was hoping for at minimum for the total for these two books. They've gone well beyond that!

Excellent! That definitely gives hope for future updates for other non-Western inspired areas like Mulhorand and Kara-Tur.

When they don't do tie-ins, they get pilloried for being stupid by throwing away easy money (and creating easy on-ramps for potential new fans). There are plenty of threads on this very forum criticizing them for not doing BG3 tie-ins at the time the game was released. The same for the D&D...

If I'm not mistaken, that Game Informer issue comes out this coming Tuesday.

It's hardcover. The reason it's being delayed is because the hard covers are warped. They showed the warping (and the hard covers) in the announcement of the delay.

Nice, just five days away. So we'll hopefully get some decent info here soon. At the very least, the basics of what will be in them.

Well, you'll have to give us the details when the issue comes out!
