Hard dates! No more speculating! Monster Manual before the Dungeon Master's Guide!
ReplyDeleteYou know Charles, some might call me a gullible sheep, but they have brought this old grog back to the fold. This makes me so happy, I can't freaking stand myself. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I'm going to go weep tears of joy now. Excuse me.
I love the artwork for the covers and the Dungeons and Dragons Ribbon splash on the lower right hand corner seems like a cool little homage to the Advanced D&D books. I'm really happy today!
DeleteAbout time! I'm happy, can't wait (never not been excited about 5E, but seeing such nice looking covers really is a plus). Also happy because I move a bunch of Pathfinder onto Ebay over the weekend, will stick that money somewhere for 5E purchases, heh.
ReplyDeleteI squirreled away the money for 5e back when Barnes and Noble leaked the release dates and prices. I'm really excited for this stuff!
