No comments on the actual excerpt...

A lot of classic advice here (I really have to tax the pcs more).

The first time a Christmas tree is used in the context of players (having to many) magic items?

Today's previews include the carrion crawler and some super generous treasure tables:

Mike Mearls doesn't believe the errata is incorporated, btw. (It's likely that it is based on the 'correct' later copy, though).

Oh treasure tables - how I've missed you. Couldn't really go with those numbers in any post 2E D&D game though - the wealth even the most modest of them generates (except J-N) is way over the WBL guidelines for a single encounter.

I had forgotten how easy it was to get 1000s of gps. Big implications for XP....and you really needed to use the training rules. And let them build castles.

I just picked mine up, they are well done and very nice however, 10 minutes after the shrink wrap is off the pages are all wrinkling up, I'm a little concerned as I just put done a 100 on these and they very pretty!
