4E Campaign Announcement Time/Date

[Ktulu]

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!

I've cracked Logan's code!!!

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.)

correction: it's not what it CURRENTLY means.

That each Core world has its own gods is a longstanding D&D tradition. There are reams of them for FR. Eberron has its own. There isn't a set list of Astral Dominions, and all the planes are the same. Heck, Eberron has just decided that its planes are sections of the larger, pre-made planes used.

Granted, you could be right. However, the idea that everything is officially one big setting allows WOTC to say "ok everyone, here's more core material you get to pick up". They do that now, but making it official makes more sense. More imperative, if you understand me.

I look forward with great pleasure to the coming explosion of nerdrage that will inevitably ensue no matter what setting is announced.

That's my prediction.

 

[CasvalRemDeikun]

That's my prediction.

Likewise, as I will probably be someone raging.

One thing I find frustrating is the apparent need for each campaign setting to embrace every last aspect of 4e races and classes, meaning every campaign will include the kitchen sink. Bleh.

I find that a campaign setting is often special as much for what it excludes in addition to new things that it includes.

 

[The_Fan]

Already getting mine ready.

 

[Dragonbait]

Nothing to see here.

 

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

As long as one of them is named Rincewind, I'm all good. Or Mudstrum Ridcully.

Hmmmm, DiscWorld?

 

[darjr]

Sorry... forgot

Oh crap, I misspelled it anyway.

 

[ProfessorCirno]

Eh, there's only one setting they could choose that would really make me irate.

Sadly, that's the one a lot of people say they're going to go with :<
