Does the price difference match canada vs us dollars?

Does the price difference match canada vs us dollars?

Yes, 65 CAD is about 50 USD.

Does the price difference match canada vs us dollars?

Yes, those are the same thing: WotC's standard Hardcover MSRP listed in CAD and USD.

The one thing I find surprising is (if it's Dragonlance): I thought DL was in a new format. This is the usual MSRP of 95% of 5e HCs. I guess it's a standard HC if you don't get it bundled with the Board Game?

Dragonlance is just a Hardcover. But you can buy it packaged with the Boardgame.

Pretty much all of those yup, and the Magic team does Tumbler, too. It wasn't clear till the past few days that this would be as much a D&D event as a Magic event, though.

If D&D is getting equal billing, it might help to compare it what what kind of MtG news we will be getting.

For MtG we will be getting or likely getting:

1. News and a spoiler on Dominaria United & Brothers War
2. An announcement for what the next 4 Standard sets a few details each
3. Some news on Unfinity, JumpStart 2022, and Warhammer 40k Commander Decks/Secret Lairs
4. The announcements and news on Lord of The Rings set and other 2023 supplemental sets (most likely jncluding another D&D set, using the MtG art for Acererak hints at this)
5. A news update on the Netflix MtG cartoon if only to sooth fears its been cancelled along with much of the rest of Netflixes animation department.
6. MtG video game news


So expect something on this scale for D&D.

That could include news on D&D movies and TV (not just Honor Among Thieves), D&D video games (BG3 is getting full release this year), book announcements, details on Dragonlance, Planescape getting announce (the classic setting), a Dominaria setting book to celebrate MtG's 30the anniversary, 5.5e playtest, and the two new setting books for 2023.

And I think the Tarrasque reference most directly relates to one of the new settjngs they've been teasing for years now, The First World, D&Ds new primal setting from the ancient past before all other material plane settings, before even the Dawn War. Tasha's, Fizban's, etc...,

It's a marketing gimmick to get eyes on the announcement. It will be the typical fare of upcoming products for the next six months or so.

Guess I've been through too many GW "biggest announcements evar" to think it's anything groundshaking.

More like for the next year and a half at minimum, with possibly a couple of announcements for 2024 as well if we go by what is expected MtG side.

The Magic show is supposed to he seen this year, I forgot about that.

 

[Parmandur]

Doesn't WotC have a sci-fi RPG in the works alongside their AAA sci-fi video game?

Not that they have said, but given that we have MtG themed D&D books and D&D themed Magic card sets...I wouldn't put any new IP outside of the realm of possibility for a crossover.

 

[aco175]

I would love to see something cool, but likely will see something few will care about. Maybe an actual advent calendar this year (which popped on another thread), A new DM screen for Spelljammer, or they bought the rights to Batgirl.

Holding out hope for something I will buy...

This is what I was recalling. For some reason I thought there was an associated ttrpg.
