The big announcement: 4dventure

[MoogleEmpMog]

Considering the huge leaps in d20 design since the release of 3.5, and the fact that 3.5 was already well behind WotC's own design curve relative to d20 Modern, I'd say there's more than enough design space for a D&D 4e. If the improvement brings it even close to on par with the best Green Ronin d20 systems and Star Wars Saga, it will be worthy of that appellation. If it goes much further, it will be as significant an upgrade as from 2e to 3e.

Ooh, the secrecy, the drama... anyone else getting all tingly?

You're not at GenCon Ari?

I disagree. I think even a workable system can benefit from an occasional revamp and clean-up. There's a lot of baggage to 3E now, and while the core D20 system is rock-solid, I think there are a lot of rules that can stand to be streamlined or redesigned.

That's pretty much my thought on it.

I also hope the Warlock becomes core...

I'd heard about this a while ago, but. I started a blog entry as soon as I saw the 4DVENTURE page:

I'll keep abreast of updates on the blog.

I guess I shouldn't have posted the link in the WotC forums.

Sorry.

No worries, it was bound to happen, sooner or later.

I mean, serious, WizOs were gonna notice the traffic.

No harm, no foul..snitch.

You're not at GenCon Ari?

Not yet. My flight leaves at (gulp) 6 am.

 

[Talath]

I for one welcome our new 4th edition overlords.

 

[Baron Opal]

Dang, bounced. I didn't even get a chance to get a sneak peek.

If I had a TimeCube they couldn't stop me, I wager.

 

[BiggusGeekus]

Well, if it's official, then that's the worst news I've heard in a long time.

And let's have a little perspective. If this is really "bad" then things are pretty good, right?
