Now, how wil the doom 'n' gloom patrol spin this into a conspiracy theory about Mearl's nefarious intent?

I was about to Doom and Gloom but looking at 'the Great Modron March' I couldn't muster the rage :)

Yeah that's a wonderful piece (both in terms of subject matter and artistry) :)

I'd rather wait for it to be right than get a crappy product on time.

+++ NEWSFLASH +++ NEWSFLASH +++ Hasbro stock plummets by OVER 9.000 points - billions of jobs in jeopardy +++ Hundreds of angry gamers surround Mike Mearls house and demand their DMG NOW - situation unclear +++ President Obama adresses the nation and urges everyone to keep up Hope for the timely arrival of the MM1 +++

Well, we've got the Basic DM Rules for now, and will get our monsters on time.
The only DMG thing for immediate play I actually miss is stuff on henchmen and morale, and I guess I can wing that bit with olde-timey rulings for a couple of weeks more.

Agreed, I'm enjoying the fact that the PHB needs little errata so I'm fine with waiting.

Ah, first world problems.

A mere three weeks is nothing if it allows time to catch errors and improve the quality of the final product. And the new launch day is just a few days before my birthday which works out very nicely for me.

It's just after mine, which is mainly the disappointment to me, I was sorta hoping maybe someone would give me the set.

If that delay makes the book better, I'm all for it.

(I bet it's a delay in shipping from China, instead of any QA stuff. Any news on dock worker strikes?)

Mearls has said that box sets are produced overseas, but books are printed domestically.
