I bet the first print run sold out and now you'll get a second printing ... this happened to be with the perry bible fellowship collection.

I was thinking that it might be regional. I ordered my books after Steve ordered his, but mine are coming this week. More orders in NC perhaps than MD?

It's possible. This also seems to be reflected in the message boards.

Grr.

I guess I shouldn't mention my friend alex dozed off the other day, reading it.
They revamped the rules alot..it's almost WoW like.

Except it's not. Simpler, yes. A more tactical approach, yes. WoW? No. (I have read the rules in their entirety.) Resemblence to WoW would require many more changes, most falling under the heading "requires a computer with a network connection to use." But even the gameplay is different, and the reason for the majority of that is the fact that WoW doesn't have a DM. It's just grinding through a mechanical system. The best part about D&D is that the rules are only a guide, and the players bring actual life to the story. (Unless that's not what you're going for.)

Forgive the tirade. I simply abhor comparisons to WoW when they're completely unfounded. Feel free to point out if I'm full of shit, though.
