How *NOT* to fake a press release.

[Michael Tree]

I've seen this before, and quite a while ago. Is it a leftover from last year's April Fools that someone resurrected?

Hoax. The stockmarket thing was a dead giveway. The mention of 'box sets' also made it suspicious. Box sets are expensive to produce and WOTC has moved away from them for some time for the D&D stuff. I don't see that practice changing.

There is alot of other suspicious things in the article.

In short, a hoax. And not a good one at that, IMO

While the story may be false, they are coming out with a boxed set this year.

Yes they are, but its D&D Basic.
