[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 6292682, member: 6677017"] I've seen no real evidence of delays. 1. They never said the game would be released at GenCon. 2. We were told the game would come out this summer. 3. If the leak we heard a few weeks ago is correct, the Starter Set would come out this summer. 4. They [I]never[/I] said anything about all three core books, nor even just the PHB coming out this summer. [I]Never.[/I] The closest you'll get is Barnes & Noble's dubious posting on the PHB. I doubt they ever had a firm date set to "miss." At the time the public playtest was ending in September/October, they were probably [I]hoping[/I] the PHB would be out at GenCon, while well aware of the high probability that it wouldn't be ready to come out until later in the year. They never told us when it would come out, because they themselves knew that they couldn't accurately predict it yet. I'm expecting the Starter Set at GenCon, with a nice full-color flyer inside the box advertising the PHB with 12 classes, X races, feats, etc. I'm not expecting the PHB until later this year. DMG and MM either alongside, or shortly afterwards (perhaps a month delay each). [/QUOTE]
