[QUOTE="orsal, post: 4267777, member: 16016"] I'm not sure what you mean by "the world builder being on hold". LEW's "world builder" is contained on these boards. I don't see any threat to LEW's continuation -- as long as people here wish to continue playing in this campaign, it will continue. About 200. *Everyone* will be able to make a 4e character if they wish to play in the new campaign. No need to have any conceptual connection to LEW, or any other existing campaign, to do that. When 4e was announced at GenCon last year, the presenters discouraged any attempt at conversion -- the two systems are just too different to make that work. Let 3e campaigns remain 3e campaigns, let 4e campaigns be 4e campaigns, and ne'er the twain shall meet. Ummm... we're already ahead of you on that. Did you notice when this thread was first created? That's exactly the plan.
