Does anyone have this book yet?

If so, is there anything decent in their to as far as either monsters or new toys for player characters?

As a campaign setting, it useless to me, as my group uses an entirely homebrewed setting.

Just wondering if there is anything in there that would be useful, and I haven't seen a copy in stores yet.

...I have not heard of this book, and a WotC search only brings up the supposedly up-coming MMO. Also, Neverwinter isn't a campaign setting, it's a city-state within a campaign setting (http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Forgotten_Realms). One that happened to be the first campaign setting officially rewritten for 4e.

Amazon lists this: http://www.amazon.com/Neverwinter-Campaign-Setting-Dungeons-Supplement/dp/0786958146

Seems like a sourcebook for FR, but the realse date is August.

No, because it isn't out yet. However, earlier campaign setting books for 4E did contain (a few) new toys for player characters, so it's a reasonable assumption that this will, too.

Also, since almost all books with new toys for this year have apparently been canceled, it would be a really bad move on WOTC's part not to include some.

Eh, that's what I get for posting while medicated. Saw it on Amazon and thought it was out.....

They talked about it some at GenCon. I think it's part of a new push that also relates to the new d&d video game that's being released (on XBox Live and PSN I believe), and a new novel (by R.A. Salvatore, I think. I know he's also been involved with the video game).

I do remember they announced that it would contain the bladesinger class, but whether it's a completely new class, or a new build of the swordmage (or an Essentialized Swordmage), I can't say.

It just sounds like Rich Fulcher as Bob Fossil, trying to explain what a Bard is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCV6L7UcwfA).

Both wrong, it's a subset of the Wizard class, for some reason.

It also contains three sets of racial variants, specificl Gold Dwarf and Shield Dwarf, Wild Elf and Wood Elf, and Sun Eladrin and Moon Eladrin.
