Could we possibly split the homebrew/custom 4e material off into its own subforum? Its nice that people want to do it and all, but its getting to the point its occasionally burying official news, rumors, scoops and discussion about the game itself. Partly because some folks are fairly vague about their thread titles: 'New <4e topic>!' shouldn't be homebrew stuff.
This is a topic for Meta - in fact there's a thread or two there about how things will eventually be subdivided once 4E hits in June. I'm going to move this there, and we're certainly interested in folks' ideas on the subject!

4E is less then 6 weeks away. So a temporary subforum may not be worth it.
BUT, when 4E hits, what does happen in rules, house rules, plots and places (which already has some 4E stuff in it)...are 4E subforums created? Are 3E subforums created?
In any case, I think what we are seeing is just the tip of the iceberg. Think of it: the D&D rules forum + 4E. Actually, maybe its better not to.
4E has rituals, use them, they're magic; Want to see the greatest thing you will ever see? then click; You can use “Earth” as a D&D setting; Origins of The Rouse; (look for it) The Rouse responds; (look for it) One can appreciate both old and new D&D.
I agree. I personally like that 4e is easy to tweak, and I'll be doing it myself one day. For now, however, I don't care about everyone's special specific monsters and house rules. I am just looking for straight 4e info.
It may be about time. We can always merge a 4e house rules forum into something else later if necessary. We'll chat about it.

I know that this is an admin discussion, but I'm really not sure how you can have a house rules forum when we don't have rules yet. Sure, we have excerpts, but those are very far from complete rules.

Because a lot of folks are creating their own creatures and powers. It gets a bit confusing when compared to the actual creatures and powers that have been revealed by WotC.

I get all that, it just rubs me a bit the wrong way that we don't have the actual rules, just fragments, and yet there's a need for a House Rules forum.
Just nevermind me, I'm being stupid. Boo grad school, boo!
