Great, first Tome of Horrors 3, now this. I cannot begin to tell you how much this really sucks. I was really looking forward to this one. They didn't even offer any explanation either. I was waiting all summer for ToH3 and I wasn't happy when they said it wasn't coming out until next year! What was wrong with November? Not long enough? I would never do this if I ran a publishing company! I demand an explanation!

Ok, how's this:

It was more difficult to put together than we anticipated.

That's pretty much the gist.

It's at the printer now.

Man this really tweeks my melon! I already have a preorder placed with scifigenre.com. Bananas, crackers and nuts!

Sure you would. You wouldn't want to. You wouldn't mean to. You wouldn't like doing it. But you would, for the same reason everyone else does.

Sometimes, things go wrong. A book is delayed at the printer. A writer/artist/editor/developer turns in work late due to real-life emergencies. A chance occurs in the D20 license, and you have to adapt the work to match. Things take longer than anticipated by even the most experienced industry professionals.

Nobody likes delaying books. Nobody wants to delay books. Disappointing fans and retailers is never good for business. But as the cliche goes (and cleaned up for Eric's grandmother, "stuff happens."

And it happens to everyone.

But we've freakin' got the people who DO the stuff here to tell us whats wrong, and I think that's pretty damn cool.
