[QUOTE="ChainSawHobbit, post: 5926816, member: 6686908"] I will be sad to see Fourth Edition gone. It was a truly innovative and powerful rules set, despite its flaws. Based on the Fifth Edition playtest, it looks like the Wizards will be ignoring most of it in favour of older iterations of the game. This makes me sad. I am willing to put aside some time and effort to create a retro-clone that is to Fourth Edition what Pathfinder is to Third. It would present a tweaked and modified version of the 4e rules along with all new fluff and art. I cannot, however, do this alone. I am asking every 4e fan for help and support in this new endevour. I will need people to help write, advertise, and optimize this new Fourth Edition. Who's with me? My goals include ... [LIST] [*]Creating a revised version of the Fourth Edition system that irons out the kinks and speeds up gameplay. [*]Coming up with a cool name. [*]Not pissing off the Wizards. [*]Recruiting a team of artists to illustrate the game. [*]Building a new implied setting that is flavourful and flexable. [*]Speeding up combat and character creation. [*]Giving the game away for free, or at least making it very affordable. [*]Providing ongoing support for the game. [*]Having it out shortly after the release of Fifth Edition. [*]Make the game open, so third party publishers can produce material for it without giving anyone money. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
