Any New greyhawk news/confirmations?

[moticon]

Hi,

I'm an LG player for the last 5 years... I saw in the thread on the seminar that ashockney (sp?) heard that LG will come to a glorious and triumphant end next year and then reset with new characters.

This is supported by the video interview of Andy collins. In that interview he said there would be no conversion documents for old to new characters, as it just wouldn't work in a practical sense, and last time it really didn't achieve what they (Wizards?) wanted.

So... I'm wondering if anyone else had talked to people at RPGA central, wizards booth, etc out at Gencon...

Can this be confirmed or denied based on what people are hearing?

RPGA news?

I would imagine that any RPGA and/or LG annuncements would be made at the RPGAmembers meeting tonight at 6:30. Hopefully some who is ther can post in a timely manner as to any and all annoucements made.

Meaning it didn't boost their sales figures as much as they hoped it would.

No conversions = Greater sales for the new edition



This stuff is easy to translate.

That makes no sense. People converting to a new edition would be buying a new edition anyway.

I know there's a massive desire to snark on some people's parts, but it should at least make some sort of logical sense.

So what's the word from the RPGA members meeting?

LG came about because Living City was growing long in the tooth and would be difficult to convert.

To everything, turn, turn, turn...

Oh hell. At least the regional concept will remain.

I've already read that Greyhawk is out as the default seting. It also looks like Living Greyhawk is kaput.

Maybe they will finally sell Greyhawk to a third party publisher.

Paizo, anyone?

Wow, RPGA is going to explode Greyhawk and WotC is going to leave its dead carcass to rot. Interesting.
