[QUOTE="Trickster Spirit, post: 7669262, member: 6701829"] I agree with you, in that they are trying to minimize expectations a little bit by saying we might only see one a year. I think, if faced with unavoidable delays in one arena, they are comfortable postponing an AP until they are ready to launch across all platforms. Looking at those plot details for Sword Coast Legends though, I'm not convinced it ties into an AP at all. The two APs we've been given crumbs about are the Feywild / Alice in Wonderland-y themed AP that's next in the pipeline, and "Shakespearean Giants" scheduled to come after that. SCL is aiming for a 2015 release date, so that means if they [I]are[/I] tying it into a AP, it has to be the Wonderland one. Doesn't really sound like anything we've heard about the video game so far - that feels far more "generic D&D". That leaves MMO expansions and tie-in boardgames as vulnerabilities that could delay an AP, as well as delays writing the AP itself, of course. But they've managed to get all the planned components of the ToD and PotA releases out on schedule as far as we know, so I'm not really expecting the next one will suddenly be skipped. It's a possibility to be aware of, but until I hear otherwise I'm going to assume they'll be able to manage it. [/QUOTE]
