Hey all,
Sorry I didn't post this early in the week. It's a little harder for me to post here like I use to.
Here's the quote from the catalog:
Each of the D&D core rulebooks has been revised and updated for clarity and content. Each revision intergrates user feedback received since the original product release so as to address the specific wants and needs of the player and DM audiences. The overall rules system remains intact, with changes targeted specifically at elements of game play that were considered under-powered or incomplete.
These revised editions also contain bonus content, such as new feats, that are exclusive to these editions. In addition, the new and revised content instructs players on how to take full advantage on the tie-in D&D miniatures line planned to release in Fall 2003 from WotC.
Overall changes to all the titles include making complex combat easier to understand and provide more information on interaction with and summoning monsters. Specific changes include the following:
Revised Players Handbook received revisions to character classes to make them more balanced, and there are revisions and additions to spell lists.
Revised DM's Guide was reorganized to make it more user-friendly. Changes have been made to the item creation rules and pricing, and there are new prestige classes included. There is also expanded advice on how to run a campaign.
Revised Monster Manual now contains adjusted layout that makes the monsters statistics easier to understand and use. There will be some new illustrations and a new index, and there is now expanded information on monster classes and playing monsters as heroes.
- These revisions are fuly compatible with existing backlist products, and each title will include upgrade notes on how to intergrate new information into existing campaigns.
- Each revision includes some premium content from products that followed the original core rulebook release.
- The total amount of new and revised material is appproximately 25%.
- Editorial coverage throughout Spring 2003 in Dragon and Dungeon magazines.
- These new editions will have revised covers that reflect and refresh the line look established upon the inital release of the titles.
All of the books will be released in July 2003. All are 320 pages with a cover price of 29.95.
That's pretty much all it says other than the item codes which are kind of strange:
177490000 - RPHB
177520000 - RDMG
177550000 - RMM
I'm really not sure why there is a 3 number gap between each book.
