Wouldn't import taxes and such have anything to do with it?

No, but I don't really want to get into it (again) here. If you want, you can search ENWorld for the past thread/posts on the topic, and if you're not willing to take a professional accountant's word on the matter, there's even a CBC News report out there somewhere, too.

I'm assuming this one. Remember, not everyone has access to Search.

I find myself unable to get very excited about any of these. The Castle Greyhawk book seems like it'll be in the same format as the Castle Ravenloft one, and while other people seemed to like them, I didn't care for the two-page encounter spreads at all. Likewise, a MM5 that's in the same format at the MM4 doesn't seem like anything to get all hot and bothered over. The drow book looks interesting, I admit, but I wonder if I'm reaching my saturation point on the Complete books.

Maybe I'm just becoming jaded, but these all seem like products that somehow fall just a bit short of being exciting.

While I like the encounter format, I'd like it a heck of a lot better if all of the maps were available as scale-size downloads.

As to MMV - I didn't understand MMIV - what - different "builds" for a given monster, each of which seems to be based around the core classes added to the monster? I can do the same thing on my own - no thanks WotC.

I'll be interested in all of the adventures, for sure.

Oh, I'm quite aware of that. My point was "I'm not going into it again."

Back on topic:
I am curious about MMV, though chances are I will skip that one like I skipped MMIV. I am also curious as to how those 'generic' adventures link together.

Well the Complete Champion and Shadowdale books will be mine. I am kinda wondering what the Realms will look like come 4th edition consideringn what the heartlands are going through of late (Cormyr drained and struggling to holds its own, droughts and other weather problems, Zhents conquering the Moonsea and Dales, Sembia in civil war/being overrun by the Shades, the elves back in Cormanthyr), it's going to be a very different place. Should be interesting.

I'll have a look at the Greyhawk book, but I'd have much preferred a Campaign setting like the FRCS to this as the Secret Project. Ohh well. As for the idea of the Expedition series taking place in each of the old settings, I'll cast my vote for an Expedition to Assassin Mountain or an Expedition to the Ruined Kingdoms (Al-Qadim), and definately an Expedition to the Lost City (Mystara).

Sinister Spire!

Cordellian/Marmellian goodness!

I'm pretty excited about the Eberron Last War book since it's been something I've been hoping to see since the setting was introduced.

I'll give Complete Champion a look, mostly because I found Complete Divine to be kind of average and uninspiring, while the later Complete books have, IMO, been pretty good.

I'm dying to play in that Forgotten Realms super adventure when it comes out (hint, hint to my DM).

 

[Troll Wizard]

Complete Champion and MMV for me; otherwise I don't buy modules or campaign specific books for FR or Eberron.

MMIV is not liked by quite a few posters here and over on WOTC own boards because of the format change, but I and several other DMs with busy lives really enjoy and get a lot of use of the new format. If MMV's format is identical to MMIV, which it appears to be, then it means that sales for MMIV were good enough for WOTC to continue the MM's in the same format.

 

[Jason Bulmahn]

Pshaw, what do you know, Bulmahn? The book was probably written by a bunch of hacks. Not that I would know anything about that...

I know plenty Rodney.. Don't go getting "Cheeky" with me

A mind flayer looking thing on the cover. Please tell me that this means you aren't going to treat psionics like a red-headed stepchild this time around.

Is there a way to address psionic monsters that allows them to be useful to those who don't have the psionics handbooks? Can a pychic warrior or soulknife be presented as easily as a scout or warmage?
