D&D 4E Deluxe 4E Edition?

[Ghaerdon Fain]

Sorry if this has been posted before... my Canadian Amazon is showing October 21st, 2008 for all three core books: Deluxe Editions?!?

List price CND is 97.00? What material is going to be in that that's not in my cheapo one in June. AHHHHHH. Christmas retail strategy at its best :-(

Leather cover for the books, and an official letter from the game designers.

Sorry for the alarm, just didn't see it before and wasn't prepared for it. [nothin to see here]

They have been anounced. Similar to the ones done for 3.5. Somewhere on here The Rouse posted what exactly made them so special.

On Amazon, full price for the Deluxe PHB is $74.95, their price $47.22, vs. a standard PHB which is about $23.

Anyone with the search function able to post a link to that?

He doesn't actually say much:

Re: Standard vs. Deluxe:

The Rouse: More Awesome

The Rouse: Leather or some other deluxe cover material, gilded edges, ribbon book mark, etc..

Leather and Chains, baby. Leather. And. Chains*.


* Chains not included.

The best chance to get me to buy the books is if they come with a plain leather cover. I really don't like any of the artwork on the core books. I much prefer the faux tome look.
