There is a reason why they are not introducing the game at Gen Con this
year...IMHO...AD&D 3rd Ed.  I think allot of smaller publishers (and yes
Pinnacle is a smaller publisher, not one of the big 4 (WOTC, White Wolf,
Steve Jackson, or Games Workshop)) are willing to wait till the fury over
the "new and improved" version of a game that does not need it passes.

Well, that's my 2 cents...
