General RPG DiscussionDiscussion of all RPGs and non-system-specific topics. DM/GM/player issues, settings, etc. Rules discussion belongs in one the forums below.
Also, according the the EN Marketplace, it looks like EN Publishing is going to convert War of the Burning Sky to 4e as well.
That is great and I would likely jump on this as it happens.

Though I do wonder if the world is really ready for another wave of Quintessentials.
Thanks TerraDave, I appreciate the blessing. You were obviously the inspiration.

Morrus said in the post that it was pending expected changes to the GSL - Necro's stuff (Tome of Horrors?) is also pending expected changes to the GSL, obviously. I'll wait until those changes happen and the products/conversions are confirmed before I add them to the list.

Choose one: you reroll one die roll you just made and keep the higher result; or the DM rerolls one die roll he just made and keeps the lower result.
There holding a design contest for the 4 missing classes? That's rich. We should do that so we don't have to do any classes too. That's a TON of work for nothing. Crazy.

Yeah, it is a decent adventure.. I just wish it was possible to get in dead wood format.
Hey! I get a chance to plug for another publisher for once. EN Publishing has books available on lulu. I actually got War of the Burning Sky #1 when I originally wanted to see Lulu's quality.
I've been working on new planescape stuff and incorportating the storylines into my games for years but my work has usually been contradicted by the officials (wotc)...... Howa 'bout a new "What If" series? Would that even count as 3rd party? Am I just accidently crossing threads? All I know is that this is my first post so.....
:at myself on the back
"Good for me."
Anyhow, I am working on a new system for the planes but I am in fear of doing to much cause I hear rumors that the new official planes guide will be released maybe even as soon as the end of this year and I'd hate to contradict it when I am trying to make my new story lines compatible with the new system. Indie, unofficial third party material still counts right? This must be the best time for it with the new edition and all, right?

IANAL or anything like that, but I am pretty confident that you can not release any Planescape stuff, unless you happen to be WotC.
Aside from that, Manual of the Planes is indeed coming out this year. That is not a rumor.
If you want to release 3rd party stuff, you might want to check out the GSL before doing so. Note that it is allegedly in the process of being changed for the better atm.
Cheers

I'm afraid I can't help you that much, as I've never purchased any of their products before. From what I hear on the boards, they have a pretty solid rep - not the golden chorus of fans that Paizo has, but people say nice things about them. Yeah, not that much help, I know.
I had 4 of the DCCs, two of them are great, two of them were well-built by the storyline sucked.
I've got a sourcebook, too, and it's very good (balance, rules, fluff) but doesn't feel "complete" somehow.

It will focus on Heroic Tier Monsters. For those of you that wanted us to do this book, thank JoeGKushner. Through a series of back and forth postings he convinced me that it was worth doing.

Will these monsters be for general 4e, or linked to your campaign world?

I wasn't aware that there was a difference. A monster is a monster. You can take something form the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting and use it in vanilla D&D for instance.

Correct. But to use your example, FR is fairly vanilla DND. A psionic based alien-inspired world would probably generate monsters that would not fit in a "normal" campaign. Ofc, YMMV, but that would be my guess, hence my question.

You keep mentioning that Morrus, but at the same day, you swear that it won't be with the GSL as it is (at least, that's how I have understood your posts). So which is it? Or are you so sure that the new and improved GSL(tm) will be here soon, and acceptable to you?

All I can say is that it will be released, and it will not be under the current GSL. I've actually hired someone to rewrite (who has already finshed the first adventure and the two guides), so it's not speculative: it's underway.
