GenCon was the original release date, but not too long after that was
announced, they seemed to have decided it couldn't be done that fast.
> But will it be release before the middle of next year?
Not sure. I don't think Mike said anything about actual release dates (or
even rough estimates) for next year's books at GenCon. You could make an
estimate by listening to the seminar files and counting the number of
books supposed to come out next year, and spacing them evenly over the
year.

Vor, to me, looks like it's intended, at least in part, to cash in on the
Warhammer market. If you look at the miniatures, they are a bit
reminiscent of WH40K, though with smaller weapons (thankfully...) and the
rules system is also similar to WH's.
