Oh, that's fair. I'd say the SRD does a sort of double duty of "community service" but also released amid marketing to boost sales of the PHB a month down the line.
I definitely hope the new Basic comes out before the new PHB but we'll have to wait and see.
I wish they would release the digital version first, work out the inevitable kinks, and then publish the hardcover books. I know they won't, but I wish they would.
The new survey video dropped today, and in it Crawford confirmed that the May release date was a hard error and caught him by surprise despite being lead designer. WotC has some big communication kinks to work out. By the sounds of it, the new PHB won't be until months after that.
Seems odd though, I'd have thought it was at least a working date (even if obsolete that point). How would it.habe found its way there otherwise? Unless a WotC employee decided to troll us?

If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.
the first slide was for the new Vecna campaign and it had that date. Then the next couple of products, the 24PHB included, had the same date in the same font.
My guess is someone just got copy n paste crazy. The slides we're all changed pretty quickly.

This makes a lot of sense to me, and fits Hanlon's Razor better than trolling 😄

I believe it's usually in the March/April timeframe but I'm hoping we get news sooner.
