Wizards seems to have this split personality lately where they produce Excellent Crunchy Sourcebooks on one hand and Horrendous Useless Historical-Fluff…

And the worst is that a good portion of Customers only buy WotC books….

It’s worse than the end of 2nd Edition…!

What’s next, the Naked Dragon Cookbook?

They seem to be sticking to the 2 hardcovers a month model in a rapidly shrinking market…

Upon opening the thing though, you find larger than normal print. This large type face gives you two page write ups of old modules. Many of these old modules you can't even buy in print form anymore. It's like one of those best of DnD articles from Dungeon or Dragon magazine. I was shocked they killed trees to print it, let alone make it a hard cover.

The Rules Compendium will be the last rulebook/sourcebook I plan on buying until the release of the 4E PHB. You know, I never even looked at that one.

I am thinking this could be the single worst "official" product ever released for DnD. Not to be confused with the fine product you did pick up, the Dungeoneer's Survival Guide. pat yourself on the back for not making the same mistake with the Dungeon Survival Guide.

I just picked up the Half-Life 2 Orange Box for $50, where it would normally cost about $70. In fact, WalMart is selling a lot of things (specifically video games) at US prices.

Hopefully, it will be a first step towards prices that make sense.
