[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9259271, member: 7006"] Chalk me up as someone who is more interested and excited for the date of the revised PHB book's release than I am with any anniversary year. To me, anniversaries are only as important as the events that get thrown "in honor" of that anniversary. If a married couple is thrown a huge anniversary party for their 49th year rather than their 50th... no one [I]really[/I] cares that it seems "off" by our Base 10 counting human brains. What's actually going to be remembered is the party, not the year or date it occurred. And the same thing holds true for these next set of books in my opinion. Do any of us remember anything from the "40th Anniversary" of D&D other than the release of 5E14? Can't speak for anyone else, but I sure don't. I don't even remember if there was any marketing events for the game's release. All I know is that GenCon was the giant event party for the PHB, and that the MM and DMG books were released a month plus after because those were the three things truly important. And anything else that may or may not have been done for the 40th Anniversary has left no memory in my head. And I suspect the same thing is going to happen here. What's going to matter to me is the products themselves, not the date they were released or the "golden anniversary" flourishes that will surround them. [/QUOTE]
