... and that's precisely why I doubt it.
It would be very sloppy to leak information like this before a public announcement. Unless I am mistaken, test players generally have to sign an NDA. Spreading that kind of information regardless is a sure way to get into trouble, especially if the number of people with access to the information is small.
I don't doubt for a second that the store owner in question _believes_ to have seen something. I just doubt that it actually is what he thinks it was.
You need to consider the information in the context it's in, taken as a whole. As I described, these are good friends of Richard's who game with him all the time and frequently refer to his designs and playing his prototypes. They were talking about Defenders of the Realm and how that played months before it was announced to be published. Same thing with this. Only difference is that in this case, FFG didn't want it discussed further until they could make an announcement themselves. In any case, whatever... don't believe it if you don't want to. It's not a big deal. But I'm pretty certain it'll be a reality, the only question is when.
