[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 4462441, member: 20323"] Right. That's been the topic of conversation over at the WotC thread, which was interestingly moved from the "Other Published Worlds" forum to the "Running the Realms" forum. It's clear to me that Zakhara is officially going to be part of the FORGOTTEN REALMS, whether or not it retains the AL-QADIM IP/identity. WotC probably wouldn't release any AL-QADIM setting until after the more popular DARK SUN. So 2009 Eberron, 2010 Dragonlance or Greyhawk, 2011 Dark Sun... Unless it's a supplement for FORGOTTEN REALMS we're not going to see any AL-QADIM support from WotC for several years (assuming they stick to their production schedule). That said, I think a Dragon magazine article or two is highly likely. While I like the new take on genasi, I don't have anying nice to say about the 100 year plot advance and the Spellplague. I don't think AL-QADIM fans have any interest in such a radical change to the setting. Honestly, besides the handle of us, I've gotten I get the sense that AL-QADIM fans aren't very active on the internet, have left gaming, or have no interest in 4e. I've heard at least on AL-QADIM fan say that 4e is a wargame and kills role-playing. Of course I don't agree with that, but the sentiment is out there. So, we have to make a decision about our goals with this project: [b]1. Leave story out of it, update just the rules[/b] This is the minimal effort approach, nothing fancy, just a direct translation, and leave the story to the DMs [b]2. 30-40 year advance, "Feuding Heirs" concept[/b] Use a different timeline which keeps old fans connected but opens up new options for them, balance between 4e and AL-QADIM [b]3. Official FORGOTTEN REALMS timeline[/b] Become the banner for AL-QADIM 4e as Planewalker.com did for Planescape, get published in Dragon magazine, detail effects of Spellplague on Zakhara, advance timeline 100 years I'm for #2. Any other ideas? [/QUOTE]
