D&D (2024) Counting the minutes to get the PHB 2024...

[Horacio]

According to D&D Beyond site, the PHB 2024 will be available in early access on my account in 105 minutes...

EDIT: ok, I know, I marked the wrong day in my calendar, it's tomorrow. So 24h and 30 minutes now...

It reminds me how, some 24 years ago, I waited for the mailman with my D&D 3e PHB parcel, after having been hyped for months with Eric Noah's site...
Or how 10 years ago I did the same with 5e PHB...

The hype is lesser now, because it's an electronic edition (the physical book will arrive in two weeks...) but it's still something special, waiting for a new PHB.
I don't know why, I buy many TTRPG books a year, I am hyped by lot of games, but no other creates this anxiety to get my hands on the new book. I guess that's part of what makes D&D special.

So, I am curious, any other here sharing the emotion of waiting to the book?

Uhm. Today is September 2, 2024. It'll be available tomorrow. Unless I'm missing something.

What is really the kicker is that, when I went onto DNDBeyond to check, they're going to be down tomorrow from 5 AM to 9 AM for maintenance... on the day they are letting subscribers get a first look at the PHB.

Unless they're not going to put the PHB out there until AFTER the maintenance.

The maintenance is probably to handle the changes to run 2 phbs side by side.

Probably. I really try not to question these things as they have far more expertise in these matters than I have.

Seriously, I had put the date in my calendar a month ago, and I marked the wrong day?????

I feel really silly now... And sad...

Originally the site was going to be having this update last Tuesday, but it ended up getting delayed until tomorrow.

I find it amusing that there are so many threads and 'fixes' for the new rules when it has not even been at my local FLGS to purchase. I feel like I'm the only one on the site without a copy.

Will be at mine tomorrow when/where my weekly group plays. Can finally look over things I haven’t seen yet like the complete trinket table.
