Guess I'll have to keep tweaking my 4e-lite house rules for the next nine months.

Corebooks in June!: News from the Alliance Retailer Summit
Idle quesoitn.
Is the DMG so necessary that you can't run the game two months without it?
I understand the MM; PCs can't fight without monsters to fight. But you can run a game without the DMG. At the very least you can run a 1st level game, because you don't need those magical items.

I'm perfectly OK with this. I have 8 months to save up the money needed. I may be a fan boy, but I'm really looking forward to 4E.

I like to use my DMG for alot more then a list of magic items so yeah I would like it at the same time as the PHB.
Environment effects, quick npc stats, status effect summaries, traps, helpfull brainstorming suggestions by just rereading a section I haven't looked at in a while, I try and use it before every session to make my game more interesting, with what I hear about 4E's possible use of Iron Heroes encounter zones I think I will use it even more.
So yes I am very happy to hear that all three books will come out at once, and with 5 months to set alittle aside for the whole set after Chistmas I don't see any issues with buying them all at once, thats like what 100 dollars or so spread out over 20 weeks, 5 bucks a week doesn't sound to hard to put in a 4E savings jar.
Plus I think I might just put gift certificates to my FLGS as a priority for Christmas gifts this year when people ask me what I want, that way I can preorder them and not worry.
Ohh and could I make a suggestion to the fine folks at Wizards, some of the guys here are the most loyal fans of the hobby and are very good at combing out errors, prof reading ect, not because they are payed or it's their job but because they love the game. Before sending off the final copy to print send a pdf or something to Eric, Hypersmurf, Orcus, ect like a week before any final changes need to be made, put them under a NDA. You will have a 99% errata free product after that and it would be a good way of showing some love to fans who love the game so much.

I am happy with this, now I don't have to wait the extra time to get all I would need to run a game.
Happyness all around indeed!

Boy! June is gonna be a busy reading month now. On the bright side, by the time I get Tax return money in February, I should be able to pre-order the 3-book w/slipcase set on Amazon! Probably about the only way I'll be able to afford them all together at the same time.

I'm happy they're putting out all 3 books in one month. It makes it easier on DM's to get it all at once. The people that want to buy one book a month still can. The 1 month delay also makes it easier for people who have trouble affording more than 1 book a month. Now they can save the money from May and get two books in June.
