D&D (2024) 2024 PHB Release Hype Thread

[OB1]

We are 1 freaking week from being able to get the 2024 PHB on Beyond or from our FLGS (I'm getting from both). Even with all we've seen in previews from reviewers and hype from WotC, I can't wait to get my hands on the product and start to dig in!

What are you most excited about for the new PHB?

For me, it's really digging into the Monk and Warlock classes to try and decide which will be my first PC in 2024 (if Sorcerer doesn't sneak in and take them both out).

Only for people in that one country

I'm not fussed that there's a delay for the hard copies, as I've decided I'm not going to get a first printing this time. It's clear there are some things that are going to need errata and quickly, and I think there's a good chance that WotC will put out a box set of the three core rulebooks (complete with errata) for Christmas 2025. I intend to get that set.

In the meantime, I'll make do with the DDB soft copies, the first of which is also available from tomorrow for Master Tier subcribers!

I tried to wait for my FLGS to have a copy of Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants with the replaced art. It never came. I don't want to wait years for nothing again :/

No. I'm not from "that" country. I'm from the forgotten country above it.

But yes, I do feel terribly for the delays to the other continents. You get the regular covers today, though don't you? Isn't it just the exclusive cover that's delayed?

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Is the FLGS phb you can get early just the alt cover?

We get both covers.

Your shop is in Canada? Do you have a website for online shopping? My FLG here in Quebec is not that friendly, and I'd love to support a shop who does not disrespect old ladies shopping for their son's geeky birthday present!

I'd love to support you too, but we don't do any shipping, I'm afraid.

It's all I can do to keep up with in-store demands on my time. I've tried (twice) to hire someone to handle an online-shop, but so far I haven't found the right person. That person is NOT ME, I'm afraid.

But thanks for your interest! Maybe someday I'll be able to get it going.
