Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide hits preferred stores today, and everywhere else in a couple of weeks.
It looks like a few stores might have decided to jump that date a bit. A poster over at the D&D SubReddit has it in his hands,and is sharing some information for all of us.

This only covers about 50 pages of the almost 160 page book. There’s a TON of info on the Sword Coast itself. I’m sure DMs who already have the book are salivating at the moment.
I for one can’t wait to get my copy when it’s ships (Nov 3rd)
NOTHING for rangers?! Forever filmed…
Will purchasing this book spoil anything for players about to embark upon Princes of the Apocalypse?
Not really. The sections on the Underdark would be a light spoiler for Out Of The Abyss storyline.. but Nothing really in this is about Princes.. So your safe.
