I was puttering around the old 3e D&D archives when I came across this:

It’s an April Fools joke from 2001. What I find amusing is that it overshot 4e’s arrival time by about three years. What I find interesting is that they joke about a “revolutionary d30 system,” but 4e, when it arrived, was indeed a dramatic departure from the past.
In any case, if you have the time and inclination, there’s all sorts of interesting stuff (and a trip down memory lane) to be found in the archive.wizards site.
