| Hopefully it'll be put up later in the day. Barring that, than I'd assume we'll see it next week.
Sometimes it just takes them a few hours in the regular work day to get it up instead of midnight. | |

| Well we know there will be two Blood War promos given at Gen Con. So maybe they see that as a good enough teaser for Blood War. I think we'll still have another 2 weeks of nothing until we actually see real Blood War previews.
I'm hoping we get the August and Beyond here soon and it features Blood War =) | |

| we are over 12 weeks away from Blood War, I don't expect to see much, probably the marilith.
We might get one or two tomorrow (Month and beyond previews run on the first friday of the month, usually). | |

Well, since DDM was debuted, I don't think that DDM has been absent from a single "what's new" column. We'll get "Something". But it may not be much. Frankly, it will likey be kobolds, if there are kobolds in the set (knowing Matt Smith...). Otherwise, it will be something that gets revealed somewhere, somehow else (like the Gen Con Promo's...)

| I doubt we'll get a regular 'mini preview' from the Mini developers, however, as people have mentioned, I expect the August and Beyond column will include at least 2 minis.
I don't know how much tighter they might be feeling this go round after all the WotDQ leakage, so I'm guessing that we'll see either previews of minis on the box art, GenCon promos, or perhaps something else that has already slipped out (the surfer dude?).
But of course, as others have mentioned, Matt loves to preview kobs and gobs, and as a fan of both, that would be fine with me.
Then of course, they could preview a gnome just to keep those fans (including me) quiet for a while.
So in closing (and to make sure I've covered *all* the bases), let me just say that the preview, if there is one, will include 1 or more miniatures they intend to release in the upcoming set, or as a promo for the upcoming set, though of course, production problems could force the intended miniature into a later set, so the previewed miniature could wind up being in a set other than Blood War. Did I miss anything? ;)
Safe travels,
Paul

| | I agree. The August and beyond should have a little blurb about Bloodwar, but I'm betting we are still 2 weeks... and Gen Con... away from seeing any real previews from Shoe. | |

AF = 1 Kobold, 0 Goblins; Soldier

WotC seems to be alternating between the two since Underdark, but never the two in the same set. | |

| | I don't think there will be a DDM preview for another week or so, at the very least. I am hoping it will be more than that so it builds up my anticipation for Blood Wars as like many, WotDQ for me, left the sink on, if you will, and let so much of my energy and excitement go down the drain. So far, I've ordered a few singles and have not bought a single booster(although admittedly this is because there has yet to be even a first wave of stock of WotDQ where I live). This was likely caused by knowing pretty much everything one needed to know about the set about a week before the release date, so like I said, I hope nothing is heard from this set until a fair bit more time has passed so it doesn't spoil the surprise. | |
