I got mine just a few minutes ago, one of those amazon warehouse deals (only $59.95 . It's still in the amazon box since I am at work, it's supposed to be a bit damaged or opened but I won't know until I get home.
Man, this box is *HEAVY*!

My players oohed and ahhed over it last week at our game. Don't know exactly when I might be able to use this -- do I want to bring it into the current campaign, or save it for a new campaign? Decisions, decisions. Meanwhile, I am enjoying reading through it. I kinda wish one of my DMs would run me through it!

You know, Eric, I helped write the darn thing and I feel the same way. It would be cool to see how the GM changed things around, or how they present the NPCs (of which there are a ton), that sort of thing. I really get a charge of seeing how people put their own twist on my material...like having someone guest-GM your homebrew campaign setting.
That's what cool about our game. Video games have set scripts - some far more flexible (Deus Ex) than others (pick a Final Fantasy) - but pen-and-paper games allow a guy to say:
"Hobgoblins...sure, lawful evil makes you think of Roman as a default model, but what if they were samurai instead?"
or
"I think the Impresario of the Bleak Theater needs to speak with a lisp. Sure, he's a duergar, but no one will expect that."
or
"I don't like the way this dimension door trap to Peduncle's grotto works...I'll change it to flame strike trap instead."
Honestly...does ANYONE run a game "as-is" out of the box?
I don't think so. I've never spoken to anyone who didn't make some changes to tailor it to their game or preferences. Guess I'm rambling, but that's what I love about pen-and-paper games...the freedom to make stuff my own.

Just bought this yesterday ($156, ><), and after reading a good bit of the red book I must say that it definitely lives up to the hype so far. The writers have done an amazing job.
With 3.5 coming to an end (for me) this will be my first 4e campaign, which ought to be perfect, as it seems 4e will be better suited for dungeon-crawling than 3.5.
Cheers
