...so, three questions for you all:

1) Who has it?

2) What new/changed material is in it?

3) What's upcoming for the new year?

I thought that you needed the regular Players Handbook only to play in Ravenloft? Am I wrong in this assumption?

Not entirely wrong, but slightly misguided.

Not every player needs to have the RL PH/CS in order to play in Ravenloft--in fact, I'd advocate that only the DM should have one, to keep some of the secrets in it hidden, and deal with PC changes on an individual basis.

However, someone in your group will need either the RL Player's Handbook (if you're in 3.5) or the RL Campaign Setting (in 3.0), in order to run Ravenloft. Without them, you lose much of the information about the setting, both setting-wise and mechanic-wise.

The RL PHB is out? . . .

. . . after looking at it I'm not buying it. 80%+ is rehash and my old RLS book is still in good shape.
