Maybe someone broke an NDA. Maybe it was part of a marketing stragegy. Morrus seems to think they originated from WotC, for what it is worth.Unless they are behind the leaks.  It was something reasonable to expect. Heck, there was a "leak" of the cover with "Adventurer's Handbook" written on it. I think I and a lot of people knew a book was coming.You do not understand what I said. What I said was that Mearls' comment wasn't respectul. He acted as if any expectation we might of had was our only fault. The thing is they were developping a splat book and there were leaks of it. We know WotC commissioned a cover for a book with the words "Adventurer's Handbook" written on it. Who does that just for fun?Maybe they aren't behind the leaks, but they certainly didn't come out and say "People, do not get your hopes up, that book might just be an experiment that will never be published". Expectations do not seems to be unreasonable in this case as were are beyong rumors when it comes to this specific product. Cancelled products aren't a stable of D&D either (aside from 2011 when a lot of books were cancelled or rescheduled. I'm sure some can point to the 90s when TSR had problems too). This doesn't look good.Except for the DMG, right? But you miss the point about my comment about release dates. To me it seems WotC is acting like it still is a big RPG producer, but they lack resources to be one. Maybe a smaller Adventurer book would have helped. It would have been cheaper to buy too. Maybe they should have used two different 3PP to do the adventure and the splat book. Seems SG couldn't deliver on two big books. Maybe WotC doesn't have enough money to subcontract to two different compagnies. Maybe they do not have the resources to edit and playtest that amount of content. That being said, even if WotC didn't announced the splat book, you do recognize they wanted to publish one, right?</blockquote>
