4E Campaign Announcement Time/Date

[Cam Banks]

So, Cam, what you are seemingly saying is that you don't know anymore than the rest of us on whether or not the next setting is Dragonlance. I am not trying to be rude(I have the utmost respect for you, and would very much like to have your signature on my copy of the Sellsword), but people have been using your statement that next year is not Dragonlance as the definitive stake through its heart.

They shouldn't. Anything is possible. However, this is the Internets. Until somebody from Wizards of the Coast tells you something, it's not true.

Cheers,
Cam

It's Greyhawk..

Is it? Where's that news coming from?

If it is indeed Greyhawk, I wonder how many 1E AD&D grognards it can attract to finally play a game of 4E.

My guess would be zero.

Greyhawk would be a disappointing choice IMO. I'd check it out, but I don't see what new stuff it would have to offer. It's like the safest and most generic possible option.

Which they seem to be very good at not doing right now.

I wonder if they have something like this going on.

I am not allowed to divulge the source of information, because if I did, Mike and Bill would dress up as ninjas and come for him...




I have no idea. "It's Greyhawk" was my opinion, not a fact. I am personally rooting bigtime for Dark Sun, but have lost faith in DS becoming the next WotC setting.

Yeah, I could be wrong, but I think that the designers are looking for settings which will expand both the fluff and the crunch at the same time. I'm clueless what additional crunch Greyhawk would have to offer...

Now, with that said, FRPG gave us the Swordmage, and I would have been just as much at a loss for ideas there. But Greyhawk pretty much is oldschool D&D. Tons of great fluff, one of the best fantasy maps ever made, and a huge back-story... but it's a pretty bog-standard D&D setting, mechanically speaking.

Dark Sun has the most crunchy bits to exploit. Spelljammer is up there, too. You could make Dragonlance work, as well, but it's less mechanically interesting than the other two, IMO. I'm puzzled as to what Greyhawk would offer.

So yeah. 50-50, Spelljammer/Dark Sun.

The new setting will be Dark PlaneJammer.

It will be a new setting which cherry picks all the good stuff from Dark Sun, Spelljammer, and Planescape.

I'm there!

 

[ggroy]

I'm there!

And further cherry pick the good stuff from Ravenloft, and call the new setting DarkRaven PlaneJammer.

See, this is the internet. Even if WotC came out and said it, someone would say they are just trying to fake us out and/or lieing.
