There were 2, I believe. The first from Sword & Sorcery, and the second one in house (maybe?).

Yeah, they did a soft reboot when WoW came out. The first came out during alpha/beta and was mostly based on the RTS Warcrafts.

Was it supposed to be today that they announced something? I honestly can't recall what all has been said.

I don't believe WotC has ever said so.

We know there was an embargoed press release (or other press thing) sent out, but not what it was for, even broadly, nor when the embargo lifts.

Given that they went to the trouble of an embargo, I'm guessing they widely distributed it, so when the news drops, we'll know, because it'll suddenly be here, Polygon, IGN, Comic Book Resources, etc.

That makes sense! Thank you!! I'm just anxiously waiting, I suppose

an announcement of an announcement should be expected as soon as there is a pre-announcement

They've already done woodburning kits and needlepoint. They're running out of new stuff to try.

Homebrewing ... beer.

And mead.

D&D Announcement of Announcement parties at Stormonu and Azzy's taverns! One at either end of town, depending on whether you like beer or mead. Or get super crazy, and get on the cat bus trolley that'll be shuttling people back and forth - and will feature an annoying talking head (like, a literal talking head) on a pedestal in the front repeating the announcement of the announcement. Or if that hasn't been unembargoed yet, doing the Max Headroom glitch N-n-n.-No Annou-nou-nouncement YeYeYeYet.t.t.t

No matter what, we here at ENWorld know how to PARTY when it comes to announcing announcements of announcements, even when they the "man" tries to embargo us down

... and breathe!

For those interested, we (as in the press) were told a couple of weeks ago that this was incoming with an embargo date of today (March 3rd). We received all the info packages and press assets at the end of last week. So we'd had a bunch of articles ready to go live for a few days now.

You have greater fortitude than I would sitting on all that info and not cracking a smile. Remind me not to play poker with you!
