Is it just me, or do they not answer the question at all?

Q: When can we expect the next updates?

A: The updates page has just been revised, to include information for the core rulebooks, as well as the Forgotten Realms Player’s and Campaign Guides, Martial Power, Adventurer’s Vault—and the DM Screen (including the Target DCs table).

well, they did answer, but not really satisfactory. yes, the quality of that section of the website did go down, as did any free service they maintain.

err... not what I meant.


I just thought it was funny that the question was about when the next updates would come out, and the answer was "we just updated, see?"

Yep. All of the printed materials have new update material availble.

When the question was asked/submitted the (now current) set was still the "next set". So the answer of "it just happened" isn't *that* odd.

Until the question is left up for 3-4 weeks, then it becomes self-mocking thanks to the temporal way in which the question was asked.
