Eric Mona says the GSL is nearly ready

[Scholar & Brutalman]

In this thread on piazo.com, Eric Mona says:

I'm told the GSL is complete and in review over at Wizards of the Coast, so a lot of the cold, hard facts we need in order to make our decision are imminent (or at least more imminent than they've been at any time in the last 6-8 months).

So hopefully we'll be hearing from the 3rd party companies about their 4e plans soon.

Good news for all.

Honestly, what settings would you like to see translated into 4th edition? Some of the settings I love, like Midnight, probably wouldnt work with the general theme of 4e, at least the theme that I've gleened from all the preview material. Likewise, Conan d20 seems a bit too gritty to translate well. I wont hold my breath that either of those settings will get the 4e treatment.

I didn't think Paizo had anything to do with Midnight or Conan.

Well, I'd disagree with you about both settings listed above, but what I think I'd really like are either some well done settings in a different genre:

Bas Lag Adventures
Authurian Stuff
Grimm
Caliphate Nights

Or just new settings in general.

Midnight and Conan were a different tone from core 3e too. That was kinda the point of them!

4e can surely have "mods". In fact, I still think that some DMGx will be about altering the tone of D&D, so that variant rules can make D&D "grim & gritty", light fantasy or what you want.

I read over on the Paizo board that Adamant is going to produce a Bas-Lag RPG. Don't know what system yet.

One custom-built for the purpose, I read. So, nothing seen before. At least, nothing precisely the same. RPGs tend to draw upon stuff what's gone before though - it'll be interesting to see what this one draws on.

Ah, this link might be handy.

Caliphate Nights was done as True20. RPGObjects did a lot of Authurian stuff as well. Most of it should be readily portable to 4e.
