Any one seen World of Warcraft RPG?

As the title says. White Wolf says its was out week of June 27th. Neither of the FLGs here have it, but both carry White Wolf, and the older Warcraft stuff so I imagine they will get it in eventually. Wondering if it is really out everywhere, and what people thought of it.

I picked it up yesterday at my FLGS in Raytown, MO. I know www.nobleknight.com has it in stock as well.

It's a pretty thick book, and other than some retooling of classes, the addition of racial levels, and building more of a WoW feel to the setting, it doesn't really invalidate much from the previous Warcraft RPG. WoW RPG actually refers to other books in the Warcraft series for reference.

If you're a fan of WoW, it's a pretty good book to have. It doesn't have very much in the way of setting information, but it builds the base to play WoW games on.

Yeah, I know there are places to get it on line, but was wondering about its distribution. Looks like my places are just a little slow. Maybe next week. Thanks.

Got my copy from amazon last night.

Boy is it purdy. It really exceeded my expectations production-value-wise. I am used to 256 page B&W books costing $35 these days. For a much bigger full color book, $40 MSRP is a value.

The revised healer and arcanist is sort of cool. I expected them to do something more drastic with the magic; I guess I anticipated something else when they were talking about making it feel more like the MMORPG. Its more the case that they made the classes fit better, but didn't shift the mechanics that fundamentally (though they did shift to using AU/E style racial classes and magic.)

I was afraid they were going to make a train wreck were compatibility was concerned, but I can see it working.

Compatibility was my primary concern. That's why I never picked up the EQ2 Player's Guide. They did a good job of changing and adding a few things, but keeping it fairly consistent with the rest of the line. Beyond a few NPC statblocks that will have to be tweaked a bit, you can certainly use WoWRPG in conjunction with D&D and AU/AE farily easily. That makes the kitbasher in my very happy.
