[QUOTE="Tovec, post: 6323548, member: 95493"] I said I had a vague idea of when they came out. The dates have changed a few times and so I know that the books on their way - in the next few months they'll be out but the exact details eluded my memory. Even after looking at that image I probably didn't retain the info except for July 3 (when I can hopefully get the Basic pdf). Like I said, it isn't my job so I'm not super interested in the Starter Set and so knowing that info doesn't really enrich my life. As for the porche dealers - I think it is more like not knowing when the new floormats are coming out. At this point DnD isn't selling well at most LGS (as far as I can tell) with their sales being; 1. non-existent in the past 2 years, 2. being poor in the years preceeding those 2, 3. being outsold by Pathfinder and a couple other RPGs. So, while 5e might make them some good money it may not be the end of the world if they don't have all the details on the topic. Beyond that, it seems like not just the Jester had problems with their FLGS not having the info so it may not be isolated to this one store. And, I almost didn't add this part, "Breaking News! CLICK HERE for full details on the D&D NEXT RELEASE SCHEDULE!" isn't a thread on THIS forum. It is on this site, I have read pieces of it, but it isn't a thread I regularily read or contribute to on this specific Board (DnD and Pathfinder). So, having to go looking for it is fine but I could do that on WotC's site too or anywhere else. I'm here and reading threads but most threads don't talk about the specific dates and so those dates haven't stuck in my mind. I recall (I believe it was) BlackWarder saying how he was right on the predicted release dates when they were first announced, but otherwise it isn't anything I retained - announced a few months ago the game still seemed a long way off, it isn't so much now half-way through summer. *shrugs* That's fine. I was just curious what upgraded it. Still sounds like basic ignorance to me. But I can understand why you might be offended by their lack of follow-through. [/QUOTE]
