For instance, if WotC is releasing a Forgotten Realms setting book at GenCon, why not start talking about it? GenCon is only four months away - how about some hints of what they are planning? Do you think it would be better if they just brought the boxes of books to GenCon without any preliminary lead-up or previews? It is an intriguing idea, but there's a reason that companies start dropping hints a long time in advance, to gather momentum and excitement. As for Fantasy Grounds, that seems the smart thing to do because virtual stuff is so glitchy and a lot can go wrong, more likely to have set-backs, etc. But with books, things are a bit more straightforward it makes more sense to me to have more of an open policy. I mean, I think if WotC is planning a major book release for GenCon, they probably know if they are on schedule right now or not.EDIT: On the other hand, the more I think about it the more I like the idea of WotC just dropping a surprise product on us every now and again. But even then, they could say "surprises are in store!"</blockquote>
