D&D 5E Rise of Tiamat Delayed

[Henry]

At least all their delays are only by periods of weeks, not multiple months or quarters. With a smaller team, the fact that they're taking quality concerns and reworks seriously is fantastic, and kudoes to Mike and team for doing so.

My group probably won't be playing 5E until early next year sometime (finishing up a 3.5E campaign), so this delay is a non-issue for me. I'd rather they got it right.

So I applaud them for both making the effort towards quality AND being open in their reason for the delay.

Yep.

I wish they would have delayed HotDQ.

HotDQ didnt have printing problems, it had adventure quality problems.

I wish they would have delayed HotDQ.

I'm glad they didn't find a reason to since I'm having great fun every Thursday night playing it

Agreed. All the delays are unfortunate, but these are products that people will be using for months (Rise of Tiamat) or years (spell cards, the DMG). Better to take a few extra weeks to get them right.

I'd also add: Kudos to WotC (and Hasbro, though I doubt it's really on their radar) for letting Mike and team do this.

They had the books printed in China to save a buck and now there are quality control issues, not too surprising. Double checking the work of someone you chose for low costs isn't something deserving of kudos, it is simply not being lazy.

Did they change that for the Rise of Tiamat and the DMG, because the PHB, MM, and HotDQ were all printed in the USA, as stated on the credits page of each.

WotC prints books domestically. Only boxsets and possibly the DM's screen are produced overseas.

Pass the four and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie, I need to eat some crow.

Odd, for some reason I thought the books were outsourced...
