Hello everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been a D&D DM for years, playing in both 3.5 and now 5e. After taking a hiatus from playing D&D for awhile, I was lured back in as I've picked up the miniature painting part of the hobby. Anyways, I bring all of this up as I've been tempted to buy the new Waterdeep: Dragon Heist- Platinum Edition from Beadle & Grimm's. However, I'm quite concerned about a few things, and I hope I can get some advice from you all.

I have the disposable income to get this, and I feel it would be a great way to immerse a mostly new group of players into the game. However, the complete lack of examples of what it comes with (All of their examples are placeholders), the lack of details about the Gold and Silver editions of the game, the casual joke of a Copper edition, the pressure to buy the Platinum Edition while it's still on sale, it being a Limited Run, and it being the very first product of a brand new company have left me very leery about whether this product is worth even close to its price tag. Is there anyone else out there who bought this or is considering it? If not and you'd otherwise be able to buy this, why are you passing on this? I'd love to know what you all think about this product and company. Thanks in advance!
