Deadline? But here you are king. You get to make the rules.

Of course, if you move the deadline again there could be rebellion and we'd get to use the old "the peasants are revolting" line. :lol:

Only 82 days to go! It doesn't seem that long ago that we were on 100. :)

Doesn't seem that long ago that we were hoping for November, either. :P

I think with the winter holidays keeping us busy, February will come get us in a hurry. I know for me (teacher) January is crazy with exams. That will keep me occupied! :(

Amazing to think it is coming so soon ...

But, if the stars align, we may have some exciting news for the pre-order crowd.

Sorry ... still too early, and too many moving parts for anything other than a teaser, but suffice it to say, we really appreciate all the folks that took the chance to pre-order, and we're working to reward that loyalty.

Can't preorder until I get my Christmas gifts because frankly I think someone preordered for me! If she didn't and went with another rpg book well then I will preorder on the 26th!

Either way I have to also buy another three sets of dice for it(Inked this time,learned my lesson the last time).

That's the best thing about being married to a gamer wench. If she buys me games, I run more campaigns. Win-win! :lol:

Quoted for truth.

And for my personal benefit.

And that of my FLGS.

72 more days.

The very first time I saw D&D being played was at the toy store where I went to make my first D&D purchase in the latter half of 1980. A teenage boy rolled the dice and said he rolled a 72. "What the...? How can you roll a 72 on those weird little dice?" I wondered.

I think the time is going by fast. Basically one-third of the countdown has already passed! :)

I imagine Joseph thinks that the time is going by REALLY fast. :twisted:
