I've been keeping tabs on this thread and forwarding it to the folks at FDP. They're currently selecting 3 creatures from the CC to post as a preview.

Note, I don't want to sound like I'm saying a 4e SL campaign can fully emcompass everything that the 3rd ed had.
I am saying that without some massive setting changes, that a lot of the "missing" stuff can be glossed over.
In terms of "sucks", my group generally tended to enjoy the weapon wielding monks. My Monk was named Wind and a friend's was... can't remember the bastich, but I worshiped Corean and he worshipped the slave driver Chardun. Some interesting times there.
Does not having a monk class hurt the setting? Not if the first books choose to focus on things where the monk class isn't already ingrained. The various class sourcebooks have a lot of details and can easily focus a new GM whose never played the setting and doesn't know the intricate details, down a path of sell swords that may be heavy on mercenary action or cleaing away these points of darkness.
On the other hand, they could just include their own take on some of the missing stuff.

I certainly hope the Vermin Host are in the mix. They were an awesome creature concept, great as lower level bosses, and I got to have fun with the descriptions of their abilities in action.
Of course, I also hope that creatures from the final SL book, Strange Lands, also make it into the mix, as I contributed a few there.
I'm definitely buying into these, and I don't even play 4E.
Thanks, FD,

Re: Druids
I ran two campaigns in SL. One set in Mithril and one set in Shelzar. Druids played pretty much zero role in either campaign. Depending on where you adventure, druids may or may not have had much impact. If you're playing in Hornsaw, ok, fine. I can totally see that. But, I'm not sure that druids were quite as pervasive as some seem to think.
Heck, a rework of the warlock would make a pretty darn good Titan worshipper don't you think? I always thought Binders fit better than druids anyway.

Acutally, this is a darn good idea. Pacts with the Titans give them their power. Each titan can have it's own pact (with some powers to go along with them).
Kudos for bringing back Scarred Lands.
While I do not like 4E (and pretty much hate GSL in current form), it's always a good thing to seem one's favorite setting raised from the dead.
I'm not target audience anymore (I'd prefer to convert old books to Pathfinder than use 4E), but I may be willing to buy some new systemless stuff (if you decide to produce it).
Also, if you are to "burn" old PDFs because of the evil license (forcing people to break their stuff definitely counts as Evil), please let us know beforehand - while I own most printed versions, PDFs are much easier to search or use for making adventures.

PS. Though it saddens me a lot to know that in a few months all old Scarred Lands products will have to disappear... it's like watching people setting dynamite charges to one's favorite historical building to build a shop mall in its place. Useful and needed, but still... it's unthinkable where I live, but I guess it's just the style this world rolls forward.

I havent seen a Scarred Lands product anywhere for years.

Here they are for $10 and $5 each until they have to be removed from sale under the GSL when the new 4e stuff comes out.
