Here is another.

So what's in it? Do ya'll think?

a bonus class added

Yup: The Artificer and all of its current Subclasses in the Revised PHB.

It is strange that something that costs this much comes out a month after Christmas.

As somebody who worked in Retail, a lot of that stuff ends up coming back shortly after Christsmas.

I think we can rule out the idea of a setting.

Sadly.

 

[Charlaquin]

Sadly.

Then again, “regular rules expansion” sounds very placeholdery. So there’s still the possibility.

 

[the Jester]

Regular rules expansion suggests to me that it’s probably XgtE, TCoE, and maybe MtoF or VgtM. All four is also possible, but that price seems low for four books, especially with rumors of a coming price increase.

It says four items per case in the listing.

Oh, yeah, that’s almost definitely it then.

Regular rules expansion suggests to me that it’s probably XgtE, TCoE, and maybe MtoF or VgtM. All four is also possible, but that price seems low for four books, especially with rumors of a coming price increase. I suppose revised and expanded core books is still a possibility as well, but that would be a terrible name for it if that’s what it is. I think we can rule out the idea of a setting.

It's a terrible name either way, if it's TCoE then a simple D&D Supplemental Book Gift Set would have been far clearer and less confusing.

And not for this product, what were those surveys for on the PHB races and classes for?

It says four items per case in the listing.

Do we know that means four books, versus three books plus a DM screen?
