"Discover character combinations you've never imagined"
That's a bold statement to make for a book that contains no brand new player options.
Article says we get them straight away with no wait for the book this time.
Shame that such nice-looking dice come with the only book I'm not pre-ordering since it's pretty redundant :(
Agreed, Acid_Reign. The completionist in me wants to order it, but with probably less than 10% new, original material, the economist in me can’t justify the purchase (at least not at that price point).
They actually aren't leaked you can buy it right now. You just need to buy a bundle. I think it is a combo of limited edition tasha, xandthar and multiverse.
Anyone get the dice, but have no dice effect?
Can someone help me understand why I want this book if I already have all the other races and monsters from the other books?
Sadly, that is the effect of BBEG's cousin, BBEMG - Big Bad Evil Marketing Guys. heheh
If you like having everything in one book, or you like the new "5.5 Edition" format for player races & creatures. Or you just really really like the design of pre-order dice.
Inferior player options.
You don't.
I'm just curious if there will also be character themes released as well!
Pass, I've still yet to see the benefits in buying a book that doesn't actually add anything.
This article shows images of all the frames and backdrops.
Hopefully, it’s has something to do with owning an online copy of MtoF, which is essentially what MotM is, but on a global scale. If not, I think it might be time to contact an admin…
Wizards has a bad record of selling new books with material from other books they have already published in it. Oftentimes I find their "new" books just have content from campaigns, but now in a general book form. That is nice and all, but when I buy a book, I want it to have new content. I also don't like it when they sell books with content from the campaign I am running, so that it is generally available because then, players from the campaign get a hold of it and read about the monsters before you get a chance to use them.
I bought Sword Coast Adventurers guide only to find the same material in books I bought later.
I bought Out of the Abyss, only to find all the monsters being sold again as new in Mordenkeinens Tomb of Foes.
What do you want to bet, that this is just Mordenkeinens Tomb of Foes, just updated a bit and republished as a new book?
No thanks to Pre-Orders. I'll wait and see.
I'll pass, I got volos and the previous mordenkainens book.
Not gonna pay extra for a reskin.
I really want this and the perks, but I can’t due to other reasons. Why are they so good!
Since I am the DM for my group, I need to keep the content for myself but wish I could gift the dice to my wife and not have to double-purchase the book to get her the dice. Any plans on the dice being a stand-alone purchase or being able to distribute extras to friends outside the main book purchase?
Mordenkaiden's Half-Hearted, Unasked For Replacements for Existing Content. Oh BTW we're discontinuing Volo's and Mordenkaiden's first book, even though we said these aren't replacements.
Wizards just made a bold faced lie. I don't blame DnD Beyond, they're just doing their job, it's unfortunate this happens right after Wizards buys them
