D&D 5E DMG release date pushed back

Yeah, really. Sounds like the PHB was obviously rushed. Didn't it come out a week before expected? Possibly to avoid a simultaneous release with a Pathfinder book? I could be wrong on this, but it seems like I read this somewhere, possibly on this forum. <shrug>

No, it came out exactly when it was announced it would. Stores in the Wizards Play Network got it 11 days early as a perk, and possibly also to make up for Amazon marking the price so far down there was little incentive to go to a game shop and buy it. It was the same for the Starter Set, and will be the same for the MM and DMG.

I really like that new piece of artwork. That and the Monster Manual cover are excellent.

The modron art is excellent. I expect to see it cropped into a half-page illo for the final book.

I am sad the DMG is being delayed, but with Basic we can still play. But it would be nice if the Basic rules included a little more content such as traps, treasure, etc.
