D&D's Forgotten Realms Books Hit With Delays in Europe and Asia

The upcoming Forgotten Realms books won't be released until December in Europe, with an even longer delay expected in Asia. Rumored several weeks ago, Wizards of the Coast officially confirmed that Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun and Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerun are facing significant delays internationally. The books' physical release in Europe is now December 12 in the EMEA region, while Asia will not receive the books until late January. Digital versions of the books will continue to be released on its original date of November 11th. No reason was given for the delays in either region.

Additionally, Wizards of the Coast stated that they'll "advise on the status" of Eberron: Forge of the Artificer's European and Asian release closer to that book's December 9th release. The Eberron book was previously delayed from August to December in all regions due to printing errors.

For once I'm glad. Mothership and Mausritter months were straining the budget already

First world problems?

Oh entirely!

Still sick of it though.

Last I heard it was December 31. Some players have "aquired" them already. They're still buying them locally.

This is not the first time its happened.

On the plus side I dont have to deal with rest of world problems on a daily basis.

Its driving the FLGS nuts as theyre losing business to Amazon, Beyond or whoever.

Ive said they can use the new content via YouTube or whatever or respec once they arrive. By that I mean swap subclass

Yeah, this is the real issue in all seriousness. I could order a copy on eBay or whatever now (Amazon AU still has it listed as out of stock with no expected date, but I can easily order from international) and have the books in my hands next week, but if you try to support the FLGS you'll be waiting for months.
