4E Campaign Announcement Time/Date

[ki11erDM]

The Core World.

It would go with every PHB, DMG, and MM they produce.

It would go with every splatbook and adventure they produce.


Think about it.

Which is why it is not it. Bill has said a few times that they are looking to grow the game, not fall back on what they have already done. It is going to be something slightly out of the box.

But, I think the biggest shocker they can announce would be Scarred Lands. Nobody would ever see that one coming and that would surprise the hell out of a lot of people.

Creature Collection has been already released for 4E, so I seriously doubt that... but I would buy it with closed eyes.

Think about it.

I did. If everything is core (Strahd, artificers, swordmages, eberron, etc.), then anything they make is the Core World. It may not be PoL, but it's still Core.

I might be wrong, though, as I haven't cross-referenced whether or not Eberron CS planar cosmology in 4e would still work with FR planar cosmology in 4e.

Planejammer
They already have it worked out in the books (airships in AV1, the basic planar cosmology in the Manual of the Planes, or whatever it's called, the manual of the elemental chaos and astral sea are coming out later, etc..). A setting book would just add more detail, a new race, class, and feats to what is already being established.

That's not what "everything is core" means. The different campaign settings are still completely separate settings, even though they use the same cosmological framework. The PHB gods do not exist in FR, for example (though some happen to have the same names.)

 

[C_M2008]

90% sure it's Dark Sun.

 

[Rokes]

Not long now until we find out!

 

[DonAdam]

Synnibar 4e.

 

[Estlor]

FWIW, The Eberron Player's Guide did "name drop" thri-kreen and half-giants in its character background section.

Don't recall seeing either of them in the MM2.

If you are talkin' 'bout the folks at Dragonsfoot, I would say next to none would come over to the 4e side.

If you are talking about the Canonfire crew (which is all over the edition and non-D&D map) there might be a few defections, but again I wouldn't think it would be many.

Beyond that, if someone is still stuck playing 1e or a retro clone, I really don't think that a 4e campaign of Greyhawk is gonna convince them to move on over.

If it was made like the Eberron Guides, all of them would be potential customers. With the campaign guide at least, there was very little in the way of 4e rules. It was all information. It would have a utility that was edition independant.

Thinking about classes, assassin came to mind for the player's guide. That way you could more easily assemble someone from the Scarlet Brotherhood. However, that's supposed to be DDI only.
