This is a product that every player needs, because you can never have access to enough cool and powerful items and equipment. Check out the neat group items for something new and different. Also, Monster Manual: Legendary Evils huge miniatures boosters hit the shelves this month. In addition to the visible huge figure (including a beholder ultimate tyrant and a balor), each booster contains four random figures drawn from the newest D&D products.Next month, make sure you get your copy of Dungeon Master's Guide 2, and look for a D&D Game Day event in your area. Also in September, the Revenge of the Giants super adventure provides a great paragon-tier epic involving giants, elementals, and a waking primordial. For D&D Insiders, next month also sees the premier of the exclusive player character class -- the assassin!So that's months and months ahead or extensive playtest material eh? Uh... no. It's not. It's a thinly, very thinly disguised ad.Uh... what's the difference there? They couldn't BECAUSE it was cost prohibitive? That's really splitting hairs no?And yet, Troll Lord Games manages to do it. Green Ronin not only has done it for OGL material, but are doing it for a brand new game. Maybe WoTC needs to seek out the old Ronin boys and find out how they've done it eh?And it gets back to the marketing aspect. Don't say you're going to do something if you can't do it. Stop talking about what you're going to be doing because when it turns out you can't do it ($1 PDF when you buy the book, various DDI aspects that still aren't there, GSL being done on time, boxed sets being cost prohibitive etc...), it just makes you look bad.</blockquote>
