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

[WanderingMystic]

I look forward to picking up a giant stack of them Tuesday at my game distributor and seeing the customers rush in for it. I'm a little disappointed that because of the long weekend that they won't be ready until the afternoon, which means that if any customers show up first thing, we won't have them yet.

That and I won't be able to read mine until after work..

Get your priorities straight, you start reading in between customers as you sit at the register.

Now that the maintenance window has gone over I'm counting down the minutes

I had a laugh at that, so thank you.

But the truth is - I haven't been in this business for 30+ years by doing that sort of thing. I'm far too busy at work to have any time to look at it beyond maybe a quick flip-through on my break (which usually consists of wolfing down some food and going back to work).

Hey - wasn't that "scheduled downtime" supposed to end at 9am Pacific?

My FLGS said they won’t have their copies until the 10th. Must be something about where we live?

Isn't that a Bronze Dragon?

Ask anyone in IT ... big upgrades rarely go as smoothly as planned. Hopefully they get it fixed soon, but estimating how long something like this is going to take is always a guess.

On the bright side they didn't implement a security system update that shuts down Windows computers around the world on a Friday.

Yeah, but tbf, 9 days ago they weren't supposed to have downtime today. This is the last minute rush project due to the implementation change related to 2014+2024 at the same time.

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.

Early copies were sold at GenCon and reviewers got early copies, but us plebes don't get them until today on D&D Beyond and hopefully the physical copies at your FLGS this afternoon.

You're not the only one!

Or, like some of the staff at one of my local gaming stores . . . you tell your customers to wait while you finish the section you're currently reading!
