[jgbrowning]

Thsi book does contain mutilclass feats for the new classes, right?

Yes.

Joe, will there be any kind of policy for other 3rd-parties to to be able to reference the material in the book, such as a campaign setting that would use some of the classes? Not reprint, obviously... more of a "See the Advanced Player's Guide from Expeditious Retreat Press for details on the nature priest." type thing.

Boo-yah! I just made my first ever 3PP purchase on that pre-order. I think Mouse and XRP were pretty daring by early-adopting the GSL. I hope they reap rich reward from a gamble many of us 4E fans have been wanting someone to take.

Hrm... we haven't given such a thing much thought, to be honest.

It's something to think about. You can really extend the life of the product by allowing other companies to reference it, thereby pushing some sales your way, while creating connections between 3rd parties.

And as it's a "Player's Guide," I don't expect too much DM material, but are there NPC class templates for each class in the book, too?

So....

So any chance I can order this on Amazon.com?

It won't be directly available at Amazon - it may be available through one of the companies that use them as a sales hub, but I don't know if that will happen. Our products go only through the hobby chain to gaming stores.

There are no NPC class templates in the Advanced Player's Guide. There are some in Plague, but those are for a plague-oriented situations obviously.

Obviously it's Joe's and Suzi's decision, but I'd be all for allowing other people to reference the book.

Nope, but now that you mention it, it wouldn't be a bad idea for a web enhancement, if/when I have a few minutes...

I guess that means I won't be able to get it at Barns and Noble?
