Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rasyr" data-source="post: 1957324" data-attributes="member: 2855">Really? Can you please provide a link to that?Personally, considering that 3.5 was being planned before 3.0 was out the door (IIRC, it was Monte who told about this shortly after 3.5 was released), I would not be too sure about 4.0 not being in the planning stages at least. Personally, I think it is much further along, but that is me.First off, Charles Ryan would never admit it was being worked on because of the simple fact that once a company says that a new edition is being worked on, all sales for the old edition tend to die, swiftly and surely. Thus announcing a new edition, or confirming rumors about one before being ready to take advantage of it would be a very bad thing. Now, I saw an interview with him early last summer (or late spring) where somebody pretty much asked him about 4.0 and the most that the interviewer could get out of him was that: "the product schedule was done 18 months in advance and that 4.0 was not on the product schedule". And the part in quote marks above is a summary of his responses, as his actually comments tried not to say the above in any definitive manner either. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />As I have said before, I personally think that we will see 4.0 be released at GenCon in either 2006 or 2008 (I lean more towards the 2006 date though). I also believe that it will be much more minis oriented, and won't be OGL. Again, these are only my opinions, and are not based on any sort of hard facts, only on my observations and correlations.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
