I wandered in to my local game store here in the Seattle area, looking for
information on the latest releases for D&D. Sitting in their display, they
had a few copies of the Creature Collection hardback. I picked one up and
flipped through it briefly.
The clerk (part-owner) and I talked about it briefly, and it was rather
interesting what conclusion he'd come to:
WotC was *mad* because the Creature Collection had been released before
their MM (due on the 16th) . . .
I found this interesting, because all we've heard here is Ryan
congratulating Clark . . . *grin*
Not to mention, the CC only has about 200 beasties, many of which are
completely unsuitable for regular gameplay, and it costs $25.
Why the heck would anyone in the actual industry be concerned over this
book? If anything it'll be picked up in addition to the MM, . . . it'd sure
make a poor replacement. :)
