[QUOTE="Wik, post: 4263175, member: 40177"] LEW 3.5 isn't going to end. I imagine it'll carry on, much stronger, than L4W for years to come. It has the strength of continuity behind it, and I know at least a few players aren't going to like 4e. I've read the PHB, and I can tell you there're a few things about it I really don't like (the huge amount of die-rolling, for example - but that's really a moot point in a PbP anyways, where IC does the math for you). If you want to convert your characters, feel free. I have a sneaky suspicion I might re-create Brelach, my spellthief in LEB, into 4e as a magical half-elf follower of the moon goddess... because half-elves rock again in 4e. We don't want to connect LEW to L4W in any way but perhaps thematically. If we followed your method, for example, there would be a huge story element that a lot of GMs would hate - namely, how so many people are travelling to the new world? Not to mention the fact that the only people who would be easy to convert - 1st level characters - should have no need to convert anyways. After all, if you wanted to play in 4e, why would you bother creating an LEW character to begin with? If I tried to convert Galwynn, my soon-to-be 4th level paladin, into L4W, there would be all sorts of problems. How would I transfer his skills over? His abilities and feats? What about his magical items? What about the fact that his goddess, Halina, doesn't exist in the new world? Not to mention the fact that I'd be way out of level, since most of the other L4W characters around him would have been made for the world, meaning it'd be tough to get good ol' Galwynn into a challenging game. If you want to make another Jerrand Redband in L4W, that is totally do-able, and no one is going to fault you for it. Like I said, I'll be thinking of doing the exact same thing. If you really wanted to, you could even take the character's conversion as a personal thing - ie, it's the same Jerrand from LEW, and he was teleported to this new world, weaker and slightly different than he was before (you'd have to retire the LEW Jerrand to make this one stick, of course). It works for you, without messing with the PbP's continuity. [/QUOTE]
