Its currently #403 overall in books at Amazon.com. That's a bit higher than I would expect.

What i want to know is if the campaign setting is going to be like hte DM's guide and their will be no reason for a "player" to get it. I will never run a game and i see that they are doing a FR players book, so this tells me that the CG is for the DM's

It's probably the case that a player only needs the Player's Guide.

-Geeze.

-I don't think so. The player is going to need to know of Faerûn if they want to make up characters. So, unless the player's book goes into some detail about the world, players will need the FRCG to see what the world is like, to determine where their characters come from, and other relevant parts of their histories.

The regional backgrounds are probably in the Forgotten Player's Guide, so I'm guessing it'll have some regional info, with more indepth stuff in the Campaign Guide. Though yeah, if one wanted to create a character there, the Campaign Guide might be a good idea.

-Yes, this is what I mean. As I like to humorously say, without reading an overview of the setting, you'll have characters making up Wu-Jen Yeti from Calimshan, trained in the ancient Miyeritaari martial arts.
