[QUOTE="Ahglock, post: 4264021, member: 56725"] Then why can I go to Amazon right now and buy a pre-order available June 6th? Because, I just did go check and there it was. [URL=http://www.amazon.com/Dungeons-Dragons-Players-Handbook-Roleplaying/dp/0786948671/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1212388836&sr=8-2]Amazon preorder[/URL] Look, I hope it does as well as stated that will be great. Personal anecdote time, but the group I game with has picked up 3 new gamers who never gamed before over the last few years. Gaming, near the end of the 2e error seemed to be in a slump. I have no idea if the #s will bear this out, but in my experience in my gaming circles it has at least somewhat pulled it self out of that slump. While the new gamers I am talking about joined a Shadowrun game not D&D, D&D3e may very well have been the behind the scenes factor of why these full gown adults decided to pick up gaming. The Fantasy genre is more in the public eye than it used to be and its not in a way that gives a initial negative impression. I really think 4e will do better than 3e overall, it seems like there is a better market for it. [/QUOTE]
