I believe Stphen is right that the dates are real targets, but I also think Mark is right thst the dates being revealed and pulled was a miscommunication and not a complex marketing ploy. Glicker seems somewhat inclined to belive there is intentionality where the results are more readily explained by errors and people not song eye to eye in a corporate setting. like, maybe somebody had authorized releasing the date at a meeting last month, but they had changed their minds later and aomevody missed a memo.
from what I've heard of Turn of Fortunes Wheel, it's crossed the thematic line from cosmology to parralelism (everything. everywhere, all at once/loki)
Possibly, I have it but haven’t dug into it. Of course, D&D has also had parallelism since at least 1e as well (but usually just regarding the Prime Material IIRC)
The core conceit of the Adventure has the PCs taking advantage of multiversal variants of themselves as backups.
Well no, it's not taking advantage, it's a weird glitch.
Not narrarively, but gaming wise it's a free resurrection ticket.
IIRC it's effectively no different than "my character died. I'll make a new one quickly and the DM will introduce them at the next opportune moment." The only difference is that these characters are (eventually) made before most deaths, and share an aesthetic theme.
True, but it is still the Advebture tying into that sense of Multiverse.
yep, I believe Vecna and PHB are already at press and will launch May 21, (barring another Deck of Many things mishap).
