A couple of years ago, though, he turned up a <a href="http://playingattheworld.blogspot.com/2021/10/game-wizards-d-development-timeline.html" target="_blank">postcard from Gary to Dave dated Feb 7th</a> saying that they were expecting the third book back from the printer shortly, and that he should be able to mail Dave copies of the boxed set the following week.  So the "actual" release date, depending on how you define that, should be just about to pass.  The first actual boxed copies for commercial sale were probably being assembled fifty years ago this week.I think once they get the online version rolling, microtransactions for optional skins/cosmetics and such will probably be a great source of revenue.  It doesn't have to be mechanical content.</blockquote>
