So, where is the GSL?!

Scott Rouse responded on Gleemax

Seems promising. Assuming the stuff they added was "And here's how you can do this" and not "By the way, WE'RE doing a Druid next year, so don't you dare!"

Wait, you're going to believe the marketing guy...again so soon?!

I do not think Scott has ever lied to us -- which, I admit, makes him a failure as a marketer. He probably get laughed at at MarketerCon or whatever.

I do believe he's had his chain yanked by higher-ups, and, for obvious reasons, can't divulge details or the full story.

I wouldn't argue with this. But someone has been lying. A lot.

I would be interested in knowing who in the WotC was responsible for the 'firm' June 6th deadline. And the early this week deadline. etc. and etc.

Ah, that might have been my mistake. I thought it was him that said he had a working Character Builder and Dungeon Builder a few months ago.

There's working and then there's *working*.

Yeah, the impression I got was that it was functioning but still not ready for release. They were showing screen shots and such, suggesting they had a functioning prototype. But apparently they didn't get it cleaned up in time. Which sucks, but if they provide a working character creator 'out of the box' this time, I'll be pretty happy (assuming it shows up this year).

I wonder what this SRD is going to look like? If it includes classes from PHII (re: his earlier post) and psionics, we may be getting a lot of information in the next few days.

I realize it won't have mechanics, but at the least we'll probably have the names of classes and such.

Most probably, it will define the 'Psionic' power source in terms of what sort of effects it can produce, so that anything someone does now will 'fit' with the official psionics coming later. There were quite a few 3rd party psi systems which came out before the first Psionic Handbook, that pretty much got bargain-binned because they were no longer "official". I think they also want to drive home that all classes must use the same power structure; there will be no plethora of alternate magic/psi systems.

I do believe your analysis is right on the money:

At any rate, even that information (and class names of course) will be fun fodder for speculation. A year in advance no less.
