That it is. The quickest way to kill an effort like that is by involving real money, I think. Just too many complications when all I really want to do is produce quality modules and maybe even alternative rules. There's some really knowledgeable people involved, though I think 5e turned some of...

Unfortunately, it's diminished my faith in WotC. Just looking at the product schedule for 2012, the last real 4e product comes out in May. So much has been left undone, which I won't bother to list here. We've gotten promises about DDI content providing a few gems, but it's simply not enough...

Great news. I fully intend to support this, both for its application potential in my current and future games, and because I believe in quality 4e 3pp support.

I'm a fan of both approaches, alternated throughout a campaign, and for that matter a mix of very short resolutions and very gradual ones. I think too much clear path or obscured path becomes stale, though I'd say it's much harder to keep something gray and ambiguous from stalling or becoming...

Chris responded to a comment asking about epic support and more than one adventure a month:

As a member of Fourth Party, and for my general knowledge and our communal enlightenment, what types of themes, styles, conversions, sequels, prequels, crawls, sandboxes, and reduxes might you like to see out of 4e adventures movin forward? Be as specific or vague as you like. I'd just like to...

I kind of had the same reaction. My ardent hope is that the elemental prince articles will be vast, and the dao and marid articles plentiful. We already know the GRotFGJ will be a grade A conversion, but that still leaves just one adventure in dungeon for the second month in a row. Still...

I would be interested, yes. Also, in some sort of web ring or running list of active and archived 4e blogs.

Honestly, out of all this I feel resolved. I know what I like, and for the first time in my D&D experience I'm not pining for the next iteration. I still see potential with what we have, and I know others do, too. If we lose the tools, we lose the tools. I'm actually surprised how vocal the 4e...

I voted meh cause I don't want to be a total hater, but I feel no real connection to 5e as its presented or described just now. I understand it's alpha, but even the core absolutism, if you will, feel more like what I was thinking would be modular options. Vancian core? Nine alignments core...

Hehe, that could very well be the case, but I may as well try and support my edition of choice. So much left to do in the design space, and it looks like all the time in the world to do so after a year or two. Even if I end up loving 5e, right now I'm loving 4e and would like to create in its...

It's true. This book looks like the last, 4e-specific product on the 2012 slate. But, better late than never. I love the little buggers. I still pine for a 4e Savage Species, though. I mean... why not?

What's more, Menzo is edition neutral. It looks as if Into the Unknown: The Dungeon Survival Handbook is the last slated 4e-specific product of 2012, and it comes out in May...

You must spread some Experience Points around before giving it to Tequila Sunrise again.

Should some of us choose not to move along with 5e, and given the nature of the GSL, I'm really curious what 4thers' options are in regards to continued support for 4e. My first inclinations are blogs, boards, and other grassroots, largely non-profit efforts, but is there another option? Can...

I'm amazed this thread has been allowed to swell to 8 pages. I mean... come on. Is this thread for real? In the 5e forums? What a shameless baiting.

I've learned to ignore them, honestly. The only place that kind of bashing really bothers me is in entirely unrelated threads dedicated to 5e development. Even then, I just gloss over those posts and continue on with the conversation. I imagine that offended vocal percentage will always claim 4e...

In hindsight, I'm not sure there ever should have been an Arcane power source. I mean what is that really but a sacred cow mish-mash of other power sources already present or in the waiting? I think I might have preferred wizard schools and other magics to be their own power sources or divvied...

Looks totally possible. And happy I am.

Here's a good thread discussing this very topic for 4e if you're curious. Page 2 has the lists.
