Yeah, September 12th is looking kind of unlikely. I don't expect to go to the local games store in September and buy a boxed SEV.
The "Winter 2006" date posted at the Malfador site is more realistic. I sure hope it comes out by Christmas, though. I'm going to have a week off work around Christmas so I'll have a chance to spend several solid days playing SEV. Then I have to go back to work and then I'll too busy to spend much time playing.
