The big announcement: 4dventure

Glyfair · Aug 16, 2007

Went to the D&D site and there is a huge banner with the word "4VENTURE" with a countdown timer (just under 12 hours now). I guess this is the lead in for the "big announcement."

There is a key 4 in the title and all the dice have 4s showing.

Edit: 4E has been confirmed in this post on the thread.

Well, there you go, I guess.

4nd so it begins...

Not to worry, they are no doubt talking about 4 dimensional ventures!

I'm not discounting that it could be a big tease.

The art style though has the feel of the 3E art previews.

Well, let's think about this.

It could be the 4e announcement (doubtful, but still).

It could be "4-D Adventure" ... like 3D, but with more dimensions!

It could be "Ford venture" ... er, sponsored by Ford?

It could be "Adventure" in really bizarre font. Damn l337-sp34k.

It could refer to the live dungeon delve at GenCon, somehow ...

Perhaps it is the actual name of the "Digital Initiative"? Like Gleemax, only less Glee, more 4dventure? As in "For Adventure, click here ..."

4dventure = 4 days of adventure = GenCon ?

Wow... finally doing it eh?

I was wondering when they would launch a new set of WotC flavored 4 sided dice. Thank goodness my old d4's were getting old.

Maybe it's some kind of tie-in with ford and they are being clever

Say it isn't so.

Now I must cry in my soup.

Now the timer has jumped up to slightly under 24 hours. That makes more sense.

Unfortunately, I can't access the D&D site, something I was trying to do (looking for a specific Dragonshards article).
