Flying blind here!Baldman Games [MENTION=6674266]Ba[/MENTION]ldmangames May 11  [MENTION=28]Martin[/MENTION]Tideswell @Gen_Con I have no answer for that I'm sorry. I really!!!!! hope they do but this is above my pay grade.Martin Tideswell &#8207  [MENTION=28]Martin[/MENTION]Tideswell May 11 [MENTION=6674266]Ba[/MENTION]ldmangames @Gen_Con Darn... Hard to plan anything else when we haven't seen this! Is the new edition of #DnD actually launching @Gen_Con?Baldman Games [MENTION=6674266]Ba[/MENTION]ldmangames May 11  [MENTION=28]Martin[/MENTION]Tideswell @Gen_Con cannot answer that but hope to post a helpful update as soon as I get it approved.It looks like Baldman Games(which is likely Dave Christ) has no idea why the events they entered aren't active on the GenCon website.  Also, note that the wording he used when replying to the second question was "cannot answer that" rather than "I don't know" or something similar.  I'm positive he knows the answer and isn't allowed to say.  He's also waiting to hear from WOTC as to when he is allowed to post an update.Honestly, I can think of only ONE reason why WOTC would wait to post those events: They are waiting for SOMETHING to happen before they post them.  I assume that is because PR is trying to coordinate a couple of things happening at once, like an official announcement along with details going out to distributors and retailers and the events going live at the same time.  However, there is the possibility that they ran into some problems with printing or shipments and are waiting to hear back from part of their supply chain before they can make an official announcement(since they might have to change the release date).I'm positive that the delay has to have SOMETHING to do with the release of the books, however.</blockquote>
