4E Campaign Announcement Time/Date

[Silverblade The Ench]

I bet 10 experience points it's Spelljammer. Giffs FTW!

Hurra that man! (or gnome, or dwarf!)
And may the foul being who couldn't care about the noble giff race suffer wet and mouldy smokepowder, pfft!!!

Giffness!

Dark Sun or Spelljammer, done well, would make me happy

I am trying very hard not to hate you right now.











(Mostly because I didn't think of it.)

If Spelljammer IS the new setting, well, then there's one thing I can say:

It's the giff that keep on giffing.

 

[Andor]

You know, it could be a new setting. One that tries to tap into the emerging global consciousness about climate change and fear of enviromental catastrophe. One pre-built with horrid monsters, fear filled little communities clinging to life, and hugely expensive artefacts. Gentlemen I give you Water World 4e.

 

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

Perhaps with a "4e Modern" announcement as well.

Thaumaturge.

Don't get my hopes up just like that!

 

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

No, they aren't going to come and burn my Planescape books if they do it. Problem is, the new version is going to be the one you're most likely to encounter as a player. It's 'new', it's what people have access to without expensive as hell stuff on eBay, it's going to become the most common thing.

Take FR. Say I want to join a FR game. Say I can't stand D&D 3.5 anymore and would rather stab myself than play it(Which is true). Most FR games I'm going to find, then, are going to be 4e. Most of them are going to be using 4e FR. I don't want to play 4e FR because it's an abomination, so I have to find either someone running an older version of FR under 4e rules, someone still doing 1e or 2e AD&D, or play an edition I don't like at all.

But here is the thing: If they don't have the 4E version of the setting, and the older edition version is too old, you won't find a game with FR or Planescape or whatever in the first place.

You just can't win, it seems.

It's Greyhawk..

 

[Obryn]

It's Greyhawk..

Is it? Where's that news coming from?

Remember that settings aren't the investments they used to be. A 4e setting isn't an ongoing product line with support ad-infinitum. It's a pair of books and an adventure.

No, a setting IS an ongoing product. Just because after the first three traditional print books it goes all digital doesn't change that. WotCs plan is three print books then continuing support through DDI.
