It was about 300 years I think. Most of the changes to the backstory were good. The classes thing was bad.

I think roleplaying settings are meant to be a bit fluid. It is impossible to lock down a setting in stone and say x class, y monster or z magic item was never ever there. These worlds are huge, the rules tie to them change and improve, the writers add and take away, the novels come out with new...

first, there are rumors that each campaign setting will have their own player's guide with its own base rules (potentially). Also, the PHB 3 and MM3 being psionic is very likely. Which, tying that to a Dark Sun release makes alot mroe sense then a Eberron one. I can actually see Ebberon coming...

You may be on to something here. But I would be a bit more obscure. You could have the setting be based on how belief shapes reality and that there is countless worlds out there. Sigil is believed to be this unaligned city of doors at the center of all worlds. Sigil moves, the outlands around it...

I agree with this approach. I would even go so far to corrupt and twist some of the choices for player characters. Don't let the players playing Eldarin in ravenloft, because the feywild is corrupted there along with the shadowy masters who rule there. Elves are still played, but altered because...

First off, I am a big fan of Baron Munchausen. I agree that there are some elements from it that fit in to Spelljammer. With that said, I think if you get too silly with Spelljammer it would hurt its sales. Giant Space Hamsters is bad. Roleplaying games require suspension of disbelief. If the...

Ok, If you want a POL map in 4e or not, then vote on the poll. Much more effective then counting votes in two seperate threads. Main discussion on the POL setting material is in this thread: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=215720 If you wish to discuss POL results, then post below.

I thought there was also an ethereal plane and an astral sea on top of the elemental chaos, feywild and shadowfell.

I would like to see all suggestions. Planescape 4e doesn't have to fit with the Core 4e cosmology like Planescape 2e fit onto AD&D 2e. You can rebuild a unique cosmology seperated from the both the 4e planes and the 2e model of the great wheel. I would like to see peoples new concepts as well...

Yeah, me too. Pacts made with Sorcerer Kings has potential.

I think it is possible with 4e to not try and make the comosologies of each setting work together. Ravenloft could be completely independant of Spelljammer, Dark Sun, Birthright, Greyhawk, Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, etc. Sure, you could keep things like sithicus, and there could be the...

Now link the one for ability tests, combat, saving throws and character level tests. Because they all use different DCs for easy, medium, hard etc. He wants an unified testing system for all of the game's subsystems, instead of the mess 3.5 has. EDIT: Ok, I thought that was what he was...

I was always surprised how few people caught this about 3.0/3.5. It has always been my biggest pet peeve, because essentially the DM can never be "taught to fish" so to speak. It makes every rule feel like it has to looked up and makes on the fly rules hard to keep consistant if your a new DM...

I think it needs more content than that. I agree that you could remove the idea of domains, or to some effect give the setting a world that is not just a demiplane. What if the domains existed to a limited degree, that they were territories that have been transplanted or invaded from other...

what specifically did you not like about the faction war?

That is a very good point. Timing and marketing Tony along with the campaign setting and maybe the launch of another game like Torment and planescape could bring new people to D&D 4e.

I agree, Baxa really turned me off. Brom all the way.

We can assume that psionics are going to be similar in flavor and as been stated will focus on enchanment/ charms and mind over body type effects. Psionics won't mimic the magic controller elements of the wizard or the flash bang of the warlock. They will likely use mind power/ controller type...

The post like A'koss placed is exactly what I am looking for. By throwing a thread together that address all of the settings together, we would end up with a huge homogenous mess where people would be posting about every single D&D setting in one post. Likewise, the restarted ravenloft thread...

Greyhawk, Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms were originally 1st edition settings. Many of these other worlds were created for 2nd edition. Ravenloft, Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk all got overhauled for 3/3.5e. Each time these settings have gotten improved. Bringing well loved settings...
