Definitely makes me think they have already begun negotiations and they are really just waiting to see how those pan out before they expose it to the masses.... Oh and even better news, we'll have Basic D&D in July. It releases with the Starter Set, not the PHB :)
It will only have character generation to start though. The starter kit will be needed to play still unless the rules have been relatively unchanged since the October play test.Quote:

True, I'm picking up the Starter Set...low price point and it may have a decent adventure in it...that with the PDF should be enough to know what's changed and what has stayed the same. With the PHB we'll have enough for campaigns.
My group is planning to try out 5E this year too. Probably use the Starter Set to being with, as our face-to-face gaming weekend is the week before Gencon.
Just wish I could get my hands on the Starter Set early to finalize the 5E ruleset.

Yeah we all wish the same thing!!!Quote:

Those in the Wizards' Play Network, at least.Quote:

Advanced rules. Do you mean the three core rulebooks? I haven't heard of an Advanced D&D 5th Edition release. The current release schedule is:Quote:
