Does anyone have an idea when SPEC 1-1 will be made avalible for play? I thought it was suppose to be released in December, but still haven't seen it up yet.
I'd like to run it for some people who didn't make it to GenCon this year.
Thank you for your help.

It becomes available to play on January 1st.
It's not currently available to choose although if you're clever you can download a copy anyway.

Really?  I even tried booking my planned 1/3/09 event as a retail (failed to see it on the list), but also as a convention, just to see if I could download it now and get some more prep time in. No luck. The 'after the first event date' (and even the seven day notice for convention) was not enough to summoning mojo to make SPEC1-1 appear on the DL list. Sure, I last tried the convention trick last Suturday (7 day notice, remember) but still... the attempted work-around came up empty.
I sure hope they post it today. I do not see them posting it on the holiday (tomorrow), and even if they do post it Friday, that gives only one day of prep work. BLECH!

I don't think you'll be able to even order it until it is released on Jan 1, and with that being a holiday, maybe the 2nd.

Well, it wasn't up yesterday or today.
Looks like I will have to cross my fingers for seeing the SPEC1-1 link Friday morning or I will have to scratch the planned event.

Again with the release delays. I contacted DCI three times and they assured me constantly that the mod would be released on the 1st. Here it is, 1PM, and the mod still isn't released. Now, assuming it comes out even on the 2nd, I'll have less than 24 hours to prep it for running early on the 3rd.
If nobody was going to be there to release the mod today, they could have just said they'd upload it on the 2nd, 3rd, or whenever. That wouldn't have been upsetting. I would have just scheduled SPEC1-1 at one of the other 4 game days I'm hosting this week.
Now, I've got 6 players coming to play the Special and no mod to run for them. That's VERY upsetting.
I'm not saying that the RPGA needs to pump out more adventures at a faster rate. They've released TONS of content in the past 6 months. It's just that, especially with a mod as anticipated as the Core Special, they really need to stick to their commitments about release dates.
More and more, I'm thinking that I should just run a home game.

C'mon, guys. Where's my mod?
I know it's finished, because I've played it. You promised to have it out on 1/1; I promised my players I'd run it for them on 1/3.
What's going on?

Wizards of the Coast corporate offices will be closed starting today due to weather. This will put us into our planned closure for the holidays which will last until January 4th. We will be back in the office on January 5th, 2009.
Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I suspect this might have something to do with it.

We live in an information age. No one should have to "be at work" to push a button to get a mod out.
Disastrous web work by WOTC.

Now, I'm wondering when they planned to be closed for the holidays.
I can see bad weather keeping people from getting things done before Christmas. That's excusable. Announcements like that should be posted on the main RPGA site, though (sorry if it was and I missed it).
It sounds like they were already planning on being closed for Christmas and not opening back up until the 5th, though. So, why did they promise the release of SPEC1-1 on the 1st if no one would be there to upload it?
