4E Campaign Announcement Time/Date

[Logan_Bonner]

I looked at wotc's schedule but I didn't see an obvious "here is where we're announcing." As I'll be at work all, I'm eager to hear it and am wondering when I can expect o hear something.

So, on topic, the campaign setting announcement will be at the "D&D 4th Edition Extravaganza," which will detail a ton of products. It looks like the first one is on Friday at noon, and there will be another Saturday at noon (of course, it won't be "news" by that point). Make sure you check the schedule yourself, but that's the seminar name!

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.

Possible, or that they're dropping them for PH3 (which is psionics right?), just like they dropped stuff for goliaths, gnomes, and shifters in the FR setting guide.

Not convinced this is a smoking gun... The only mention of them I can recall is under the Stormreach/Xen'drik background section. They were already well established there due to the 3e Eberron philosophy of "everything in the PsiHB is in Xen'drik".

There is certainly no mention of them under the PC races section, which is where devas, gnomes and half-orcs showed up in the FR PG.

Well we know PHB3 races are: Wilden, Minotaur, Githzerai and one more. So there is the possibility of either, or but not both.

Do we know that it's an old setting? I mean, didn't WotC buy rights to two other campaign settings after the Great Setting Search of '03? Alternate idea: New setting? ENWorld.

Yes, I believe you're right, RW. Rich Burlew, of Order of the Stick fame, submitted the runner-up, IIRC.

Does anyone remember what the other two runner-ups were in the Great Setting Search of '03?

I'm assuming the EnWorld (or NeWorld) is where you play a mod trying to filter out all the noise (spam, flame wars, and ads) in a cyber existence.

It seems no one react to this . Only two more days to wait.
