Having gone through the launch for 3E, and having seen the recent launch of Star Wars Saga, I'd say that 4E's publicity campaign has been spectacularly poor so far.The articles on the rogue, critical hits and the warlord have been excellent, but they're simply not releasing anything in an orderly controlled fashion. I know they're in a crunch, but a weekly 2-300 word teaser on one of the new concepts in the game is not that hard to do. I have to write something similar for my job (it's not gaming related, unfortunately) and it takes me about 30 minute to do. That's every week.If you have some old issues of Dragon, take a look at the previews they had for 3E and compare the countdown to what we have now. Heck you can still go to the Wizards website and see their previews for Star Wars Saga!We have a fair bit of information on 4E at the moment, but most of it is entirely conjecture and fan based, and much of it will likely be wrong, or at least not entirely accurate, since we're reverse engineering it. Is that how you want your product marketed, really?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> --Steve</blockquote>
