D&D 5E (2014) Street date for D&D Next Starter Game is July 15

[thalmin]

We have just received solicitation notices from our distributors for the D&D Next Starter Game, $19.99, with a street date of July 15, 2014. No mention yet of the PHB or any other D&D products.

Excellent! Did the solicitation give any kinds of details at all?

(This is what we have all been waiting for.)

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! YES!

*Ahem.*

Excellent!

Hurray!

Sorry, no other info at all, except stock number WOC A92160000. I expect an email with more info will be coming soon.

Title is 'D&D Next Starter Game'?

Really?

Title is 'D&D Next Starter Game'?

Really?

That was the title used by the distributors for the solicitation. I don't know if that is the title used by WotC, or if that tile was just used so we retailers would know what the product was. I will be contacting my sales reps for more info when they open tomorrow.

Damn I sure hope they get this right this time. If this is another "levels 1 and 2 only, one crappy adventure, no character creation rules, and plenty of errata" debacle like almost every other starter set Wizards has ever made, I will be genuinely depressed. I tend to get excited about starter sets for some reason.
