Well, they do have some hardcovers on slate after Essentials comes out, and they have stated that they will return to the 'old way' of releasing stuff including hardcovers when they finish Essentials. Doesn't mean that you're not right, but I'd be really disappointed with no new setting. I...

Personally, I'd be very disappointed if that was the case. I have no interest in the PoL world.

The existence of the Nentir Vale gazeteer implies to me that the Core World is not going to be the 'new' setting. I'd argue it's practically a setting already and that will be cemented once Nentir Vale gets published (and I assume Elsir Vale later). But with the publish and forget model, I...

I assume there will be an announcment regarding the 2011 campaign setting at Gen Con. I'm surprised though that the buzz and speculation is almost completely gone compared to leading up to the Dark Sun announcement last year? Perhaps it's because there is no clear frontrunner this time? My...

I've heard both are Epic Destinies.

They weren't tough, but they level drained in 2e. Do they have a nasty power along that line? I'm pretty stoked it's a Solo though. :-)

It's a monster, and AFIAK, a classic Dark Sun monster, so I'd be surprised if it wasn't in the Creature Catalog.

I guess that's my point. If it's not Crunchy, I'm not sure why a new Stronghold Builder's Guide would be necessary. The 3e version would would almost as well, wouldn't it?

Is there stuff in there that's not easily convertible to 4e?

Any info on the Tembo?

I have been thinking seriously about restricting the races in my Eberron campaign (and I know for sure I'll do so in any Dark Sun campaign I do). After over two years of playing someone finally took an Elf this last week.

No, we didn't stand a chance if the DM had been experienced enough to know what the capabilities of the monster was. That's the only reason we won...for five rounds the DM had the monster with 1/3 it's normal attacks. Even then, on that final round we had the sorcerer down and the artificer...

Accepted. :cool: Last TPK I had was really the players' fault, although I did learn that players become irrational once their being 'forced' into something. As for attacking a single player, I did have an assassin only attack one PC in one combat, but that's because he had a contract put out...

It's the final encounter in the DDI Adventure, "Stormcrow Tor". Actually, the minions didn't even show up until Round 3. And since we have experienced what happens if you don't deal with minions, it's pretty much standard procedure to kill them off ASAP. Admittedly, the DM did tell us when...

Actually, up until that point the DM had been strictly using ranged attacks that had an effect of sliding the target and making them make an attack. We had no idea it had a killer melee attack as well. We had in fact, spread out dramatcially in order to minimize the effect of the...

DMG2 also has some suggestions for running long combats, which I've used to great success.

You know, I was originally thinking the same thing...that Players Option was going to basically take over for the Players Handbook and <thing> Power books. However, your mention of Necromancy being a school, and the fact that the Essentials Wizard builds are going to be school based, makes it a...

Argh. I've admitted that we made a tactical mistake. However, that is still not addressing my original point. I should never have mentioned what actually inspired the post, since people keep getting caught up in what happened in that situation (really, it's almost like there are two...

I'm not seeing where the new math has been included in this. At least not the damage listed in the errata. I've even started a blank monster, made it a soldier, moved the level to 20, added an attack, made it 'normal' damage...and it's only 3d6+8 damage for a normal at-will. It should be...
