Message: <blockquote data-quote="EzekielRaiden" data-source="post: 7691370" data-attributes="member: 6790260">While that's fair, that book was also delayed two months after its original intended publication date. For good reasons, but still.And, unless my memory is failing me (the traitorous jerk it is...) they were talking about a 5e OGL before even the PHB launched. Actually, no, it looks like my memory gets to live another day; the OGL stuff was originally..."implied," since <a href="http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/gazing-crystal-ball" target="_blank">the original announcement</a> is classic mention-the-question-but-don't-actually-answer-it business speak. So that's more than a year and a half (nineteen and a half months) since we first heard about it officially.I also meant "day 1" to refer to the PHB launch, or at very least the MM (Sep 30--call it an October launch). Which would still be "well over" a year (about three and a half months) we'd been waiting. I admit I flubbed the publication dates pretty bad in my first post (15 months ago would've been slightly before the MM launch), but still, some benefit of the doubt, eh?And I still strongly, strongly feel that taking slightly more than a year since the publication of your final, delayed core book, while saying basically nothing that entire time? Not the best move. Yes, it's good to wait, even after the main books are published; I'd have said six, MAYBE eight months on the outside (which would've nicely coincided with the PHB launch, sort of a "one year later" celebration). It would have assuaged much of the "zomg, they're not writing ANYTHING AT ALL" fears.Edit:Particularly when, according to that announcement, the launch was supposed to have occurred in "early 2015." I get that the jury duty thing messed up some schedules, but a delay of approximately a year (since it's now "early 2016") is a bit hard to swallow.</blockquote>
