[QUOTE="hopeless, post: 3935283, member: 36349"] Pardon me for this but from what I have been reading I have been wondering about this; I suspect 4e was initially intended to be about campaign settings. This first option sounds like its meant to highlight this so-called "Point of Light" concept, the Faerun setting intended to be released in August sounds more and more like an optional extra intended to make use of the first set of 3 core rulebooks. Perhaps they're right and this version of 4e will highlight a new area of Faerun namely to explain the presense of both the Tieflings and their opposites the Dragonborn. The following year the next 3 core rulebooks will highlight the Faerun currently known about in 3e with the following August will appear the 4e Eberron highlight in time for the following year when the next 3 core rulebooks highlight the core of what is known of Eberron under 3.5. Sorry if I'm being obscure but for the changes in 4e to truly come about they have to be inventive about HOW it changed so what might be coming is to explain what truly causes the changes in Faerun rather than JUST changing the Forgotten Realms so dramatically so what MIGHT come in August next year will explain in a series of adventures why events have changed the realms so badly more importantly why there ARE no gnomes in the area they're planning on revealing rather than the core of the Realms previously explored. This might be horribly wrong but it does provide a gem of what might be revealed and I'd like your point of view no matter whether you agree or not I'd like to discuss this possibility especially as come January we should finally know how far advanced 4e Faerun is being planned for. Take care and all the best! [/QUOTE]
