Countdown-timer at Green Ronin...? What's it all about?

Well, they have their 3rd Era stuff as the 3.x compatible gaming materials....

Maybe the are going to release a new setting / line under the GSL and 4e, called 4th Era?

That is a very logical, sensible, well reasoned, and rational point.

This, however, is the internet. I'm therefore going to ignore it utterly and completely.

I doubt this (making a GSL product) is something that impressive -on par with the fireworks they are throwing. Even if it were GSL-4e the whole deal should be about the name of the line. And the power of the name of the line is independent of the system used.

If its Star Trek I will be very torn. I LOVE Star Trek! Star Trek d20 of any kind is anathema to me.

Green Ronin does more than d20 products. SoIF is not d20 so if they did Star Trek they might not do it d20.

I really doubt that anything more they will do will be d20 unless it is with True 20 or M&M. But they have proved they can make a great game with out those systems.

I know that Steve Kenson (the designer of M&M) has said DC is his favorite comic and He would love to do a JLA version of M&M.

A few months ago, Steve changed from being M&M lead developer (more of an oversight and planning role) to being a designer. This product is probably at least partially completed if they're announcing it, so it could be that Steve changed roles to work on this.

But see.... here's the thing.

If Green Ronin announced a 4e supported product line, maybe even a setting, it would get LOTS of press amongst all the old 3.x players as well as the 4e group.

EDIT: Especially if it was a popular 3PP 3.x setting that hasn't seen any 4e style treatment, like Scarred Lands or Oathbound or Iron Kingdoms or something like that.

I, for one, am a big fan of the many 3.x 3PPs that survived the end of the official d20 and OGL support from WOTC.

If any of the big names stepped back into 4e, I imagine it could generate many sales for them, assuming they have the right people on the job.

Hm. I guess it's not out of the question. Well, of course, really.

However, they (Green Ronin) did farm out 4e Freeport to another 3pp, namely Expeditious Retreat Press, and that wasn't long ago, IIRC. They could've done that themselves, had they any interest, or rather intent, in that direction. But hey, like I said, it is possible.

And, on the flipside, they did put out that 4e character folio (? - I think that's what it's called) only a little while ago. Not sure if they said that was their only 4e product, evar, or for that matter how it's sold. . .

Terminator RPG.

Knights of the human defense battling the machines after the apocalypse.

Time gates.

And it really is about darn time.



Or in other words, I have no freaking idea.

I've tried to google the twitter words and can't find a sensible combination other than a new age tract in PDF about how harry potter fiction is helping new agers 'main stream'.

.... it couldn't be that ....

could it?

Well, whatever event is being counted down to, we'll know by Tuesday's Noon Eastern time (assuming my math is correct ). It must be pretty freakin' important if you're gonna use a countdown.
