[QUOTE="JustaPlayer, post: 2665782, member: 17202"] There was in fact a date set. The publisher has to give a date to distributers before they can put it in catalogs. They also have to give date to online stores such as Amazon. Heck I've had the books in my "Items not yet shipped" queue for well over 18 months, and I didn't even attempt to purchase it until after the announced release date. Spycraft 2.0 is by far a larger book than any of the Warlord books. But let's take a look at it. How long before it was announced was it started on? Did it take more than 3 months for the lay out and editing? I know they didn't start on that until after 3.5, so it has certainly taken a lot less time to do the layouts. How many pages Is Worlds Largest Dungeon? This wasn't announced until about a year after Warlord. How long has that book been on the shelves? Maybe they should put a little focus into products already overdue before they start on new mega projects. It's not just the market for RPGs causing the layoffs. The strong will survive. Have you heard problems at Green Ronin? Heck, Mongoose is expanding, hiring more people. New companies are starting up still. [/QUOTE]
