Yes, it is new, I was just creating a thread for it myself.
woohoooo!!! (does happy dance)
Okay, calmer now. I love everything about this, even the title captures my imagination, giving it the 'Sword Coast' is evocative, even if you dont play in the FR you want to open this. It has a serial/episodic sound to it. Happy that its an update to compliment the growing collection of 3.5e FR books Im picking up from eBay.
It'll be a worthy companion to my other books of the Realms. So glad Wizards is finally getting around to this, and hope, HOPE that this is a precursor to other books for Dark Sun, Greyhawk, and Eberron, (sorry Dragon lance can wait).
If this is the Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide, why does it have the Purple Dragon Knight? Cormyr is not in the Sword Coast.
It's just a little past the Well of Dragons it could easily make the cut for a Sword Coast map.

Cormyr is just a bit past the well.
Here's the thing: Would Purple Dragon Knights be found on the Sword Coast? Well, there's at least one! (Sir Isteval)
Cheers!
... But wouldn't you want to see an Inner Sea book. Purple Knights belong in a book about Cormyr, Westgate, Sembia and the Dalelands.
Wouldn't repeating content in two different books be a complete waste of space?Nothing saying they can't be there too!
At present, all the published adventures are set in the Sword Coast. It makes sense to have the first campaign setting book there. But it also makes sense to include popular character options.
Or would you rather wait another year or two for that book?
