D&D 5E D&D Next Panel with Ed Greenwood - Fan Expo 2013

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Why would they wait till 2015 to release it, especially if it's mostly done? To enjoy another year of zero revenue? Hasbro exec at earnings time: "Oh, have we not fired all of you yet? <waves hand>" I don't think Greenwood could be right here.

2015 seems to conflict with WotC's own 2014 announcement from GenCon. 2014 is likely if, per Cordell, they're half done with the writing of the initial books now. Doubly so if the final game is close to the September playtest packet.

Maybe Ed implied 2015 for the FR product(s) ...

He already said he isn't answering questions with any kind of insider knowledge. He is making guesstimates based off what he knows about the company and how it operates.

I noticed that too, I assumed it was the last question and nothing else was of any interest.
