Wizards R&D Seminar at GenCon 2007

I'm at the seminar now, and I'll post my notes in a minute. Live report!

Any questions you want me to ask?

JoeBlank · Aug 17, 2007

We want to know the core classes and races for 4e. See if you can get them to give up that info!

Yeah -- is 30 levels just 30 thinner slices of the same loaf, or is it the original 20 slice loaf plus another half a loaf?

You can use a different metaphor if you want.

Tell 'em Eric says hi!

How are monsters changing in 4e? Are they still going to be advanceable without tacking on class levels? Are the types mostly unchanged? Are they going to be mostly true to their past edition incarnations, or are they being retconned "Monster Makeover" style?

Thanks!

Will monsters still have types and subtypes similar to what they are now?

Are skills done like saga or do we still have the freedom of spending skill points?

Are the classes customizable as they made in Saga, or have them become more rigid? How the game is supposed to reduce preparation time - less info needed for monsters, less spells and skills, or does it rely entirely on electronic applications?

Yes, Saga is a significant "preview" of 4th Edition

Nice, can't say I blame them.

I'm giving it some serious thought, just for the playtest possibility.

Of course, I'd need to see the sign-up thing first.
