Tad Williams, War of the Flowers. He's mainly known for the Otherland series, but Flowers was a neat little fey-world book.

Wrath of the Immortals - this was a boxed set for Classic D&D (BECMI) - it embroiled the 'Known World' or Mystara in a worldwide war as rival gods, er 'Immortals' formed into factions and manipulated their priests and sponsored nations. I personally thought it was the best meta-plot D&D...

Greyhawk reboot is a great idea! Like others have said, it appeals to the 1E fans and owners of the original folios and boxed sets by resetting the timeline to the 'golden age', and recaptures the glory of Greyhawk for new players. Even though the the initial post might be idle conjecture, I...

Pennangalan and Nycodaemon, please.

I think OD&D is more about the tone of the game than the actual rules... First off, OD&D wasn't simulationist like 3E, so the first part of why 4E harkens back to O&D is because it puts the game elements front and center. OD&D also didn't focus on meta-plots and world-spanning story arcs; a...

We'll be going on our third 4E session this week and I'm seeing a similar learning curve with the group I DM... here's my question - when did combat start speeding up? I'm finding combats took about 2 hours the first night, maybe an hour and a half per combat the second... does it continue to...

Regarding the Hospitaler Abilities: In 4E, aren't hit points no longer = physical damage? A lot of the "healing" enabled by leader classes like the Warlord is boosting morale, gaining a second wind, lifting of spirits, etc. So why couldn't the Paladin's ability to restore vitality in a...

Very cool! We are currently using Wilderlands for our 3.5 game... does Tegel Manor 4E mean that we're going to see an updated Wilderlands for 4E? Oh - and Iron Tower is a great announcement too. Good luck!

I agree a setting like Midnight seems to be ideal for 4E. I may not try to map it as closely to the Midnight Core setting. For instance, the 4E approach to deities seems to be that they're aloof and uninvolved in the world; in that case it may be enough to still allow some PC clerics/paladins...
