I know I said I wasn't going to get it, but I was in town yesterday sorting out some stuff and decided to stop in my LGS.
I noticed there was hardly any 5E stuff and asked about it.
He said that it's just selling really well and not much stays in stock for very long.
So anyway, I went about my business and called in a non-rpg specialist shop in town. They specialise in boardgames, but have a stand with lots of DnD books on it, the only RPG stuff they carry actually.
I also asked them how their sales of 5E were and they said it sold steadily and at a very good rate. So that's good news, as after all this time, the Core books are still selling well (I specifically asked that question).
Whilst I was there, I decided to take a look at "Princes of the Apocalypse" and it looked quite impressive visually.
The art was really evocative and flipping through the pages, I noticed lots and lots of maps, which was cool. So that sold me as it looked like it was chock full of rich content.
Having read through it all once last night I'm quite impressed.
The extra race and class stuff is nice to have, plus new spells, new magic items and the campaign itself looks really interesting to run.
There's an introductory section of mini adventures to get characters up to level 3, which is the recommended starting level for the campaign itself.
This in itself is really nice, as the mini adventures could be used for whatever really.
The campaign itself is really interesting and could be deconstructed to use for other stuff pretty easily.
The maps are gorgeous, as well as the various art pieces in there that REALLY help to set the mood.
It's set in "Forgotten realms" but there's a chapter for converting to various campaign worlds such as Eberron, Greyhawk, Krynn and Darksun
I'm really glad I got this actually and surprised I did as it didn't seem from what I read would be that interesting to me.
So I highly recommend this as a purchase, even if you don't actually run the campaign itself and pull it apart for other stuff.
