Hmmm... looks like a cheap quarter for me! MAybe a DM's screen, probably the Fr thingy, and almost definitely UA. No page count of the Faeurn book?

Hmm - some of those prices seem a bit expensive. I guess inflation continues to hurt (as well as the bad economy...)

Am I going to be a sucker and pick them all up? Well, I might avoid the character sheets. The Map Folio sounds interesting, though. I wonder if it'll be a bunch of battlegrids for various terrains and dungeons?

Cheers!

Ehh....guess I'll just get the 3.5 update for the Realms

They also said that the Map Folio is the first in a series over the next year. I don't know. I'm sure the maps will look better than what my printer can do.
